Cotchin on tv says there’s a 0-1% chance he plays for gcs as well so I guess maybe this is all manufactured from Schwartz McClure and co?

"I think there is a zero to one per cent chance that he pulls on a Suns guernsey, or any other guernsey for that matter," Cotchin said.
"But in saying that you can understand why the likes of Gold Coast and Dimma (Hardwick) are teasing the idea of maybe it eventuating. I don't know why and maybe you guys have opinions on why it might help their footy club but they're not in finals but they're in the papers every day and it builds awareness on the footy club.
"There's probably a part of me that hopes it doesn't happen because of the love I have and that I think it would be nice for him to end up being a one-club player with the Richmond footy club. But footy is a bloody tough game and to move and maybe that's the fresh start he needs but to move away in a new environment where they're building and it's going to look a lot different to the latter stages of his career looked like at the Tigers, it's a big call."
