Agree with you re the captaincy

Think as a player Cotch has gone backwards. I want Cotch the player from 2012, 2013. That's when he broke games open for us, willed the side across the line

What's interesting in his first year of being captain he had Newman out there and i reckon that helped him. Doesn't have that support around him now.

Just my opinion of course  ;D

I think Chaplin has retired Bents, so he can't be a senior player. :lol

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

He had Newman there for his first three years as captain.....and I hardly think his "example" of the soft , unaccountable, selfish Wayne Campbell school of football and 10 possessions a game would've really made any difference, let alone a positive one...

True but in his first year as captain; whic was his best year Newman's influence was evident - he was still in the leadership group. After that when Newman step away from the leadership group Cotchin the player started going backwards or at the very least MIA. The longer he's been captain the more the MIA occurs

Bollocks Cotchin is good at football

Your expecting him to carry a dozen plodders is unrealistic.

I tend to agree with you but Cotch as a footballer has gone backwards.
I think it's simply Halfwit and his game style that is killing players like Cotch.

Cotchin has been brainwashed and ruined by our charlatan couch & his dinky kick crablike 2 steps backwards to go forward gameplan.

Add to this he has to help convince & sell this rubbish style to the rest of the team by "leading by example" and executing the perfect "dinky" the whole bloody game.

When was the last time we saw him take on the opposition and lauch a 60 metre bomb into the goal square?  Unfortunately this isn't allowed under the "blueprint" guidelines.  :rollin

Get rid of this cancer coach and the team will be free to play footy again.

I actually don't think Rance should be captain, I think he's one that it would probably play on his mind a bit. Just let him play the game.
