ppl love to slam Cotchin but they forget he got us back into the game V Sydney on his own & had many other good games where he stood up when it mattered. sure he had a bad Final but he wasn't alone.

I dont forget

He played like a Divine being

As good as anything voss or Ablett/s done for mine, that performance

One quarter in specifically where he was in god mode

Have said the Sydney game his 2nd half was absolutely brilliant, best individual performance I'v seen in a long time

But for mine no matter how people want to sell it, in the most important game of 2015 and also 2014 he didn't stand up when it mattered, when we needed him to the most and that's exceptionally disappointing

Leaders stand up in finals and he hasnt' in our last 2

lmfao This post doesn't pass the rationality test by a loooooooooong way.

People love slamming him? Don't confuse the issue with people wanting accountability.

You say he stood up when it mattered but then inherently define that the games that matter are non-finals. Really?

You also suggest that his poor finals performances were tolerable because others played poor too. Well, being the captain, captains have less excuse than the rank and file and its your job to lead the way and lead others.

Seems many people struggle with what leadership actually means. It certainly doesn't mean what you have put on the table and That includes making manufactured excuses simply because you like him.

Clearly leadership means single handing beating Norf , which rested its best dozen the previous week , with a tagger up your ass , with a bad back , while carrying six funky chromosome wankers

I guess then his 9 disposals and meek efforts were par for the course  ::)

Interestingly the majority of the above didn't effect other players as much. He should have expected a tag and if his back was that bad he should have put his hand up and not played.

Not sure if putting up your hand to not play is part of the 1960s pagan mantra that Dimma has set his cute little heart on

Cotchin almost lost a limb vs freo and while back and was not rested.

Norf Resting everyone didn't effect the player much team  good one

I dont get it, on one hand you say he is capable of "god mode", yet on the other you say his 9 possession elimination final was fine.

Why are you defending a performance like that when you know he is capable of so much more?

Are you in denial?

If Cotchin played every game, like he did that quarter vs Sydney

He'd now be te greatest footballer in the games history

You not getting it means not much
