The ABC and D's of Richmond FC

[gerkin greg]

nope i'm sorry but the kid is A grade
he's a clearance machine

[JVT]

Cotchin's clearance work is in the top 20 of the AFL easily.

[WilliamPowell]

Cotchin is our best player by a mile. He is worthy of an A

Agree. Been re-watching some of our games from this year and he is a class above everyone on the list.

yes been re-watching a few games myself

He gets an "A" for his pick up on the wing in the Dreamtime game - that sums up Cotch perfectly IMHO

Also he would easily get a game in another team in the comp - that makes him an "A" grader.

 

[gerkin greg]

just had a look and no surprises Cotch comes it at number 9 in the comp for clearances, just ahead of GAJ

[Owl]

ahh well, not too shabby then I spose.  How bout them stuffing apples for starters.  I think a fairly nice lid has been kept on our midfield through a mixture of media haters and general hope we come good to as a healthy Richmond is good for a Healthy AFL.  If we can move Lids up next year, and we can, ...  It is going to be awesome...(these are not the words of Owl..)

[gerkin greg]

your post has gone a bit limp Owl 

[Owl]

Yes I must not say chub or chimp toucher in certain contexts I suppose.

[Judge Roughneck]

Cotch is a good player. But he's not in another class to lids.

[Coach]

Yes he is. Chimp is a stuffing star

[Judge Roughneck]

Deledio has the more weapons than chimp; faster/bigger/longerkick
lids has potential to hit kouta-like form and blow teams apart.
Cotchin might end up better but he's not in another ball park to deledio. Voss>Simon black

[Coach]

Deledio might have those weapons but he doesn't impact on a game like Chimp does. Chimp is 21 FFS and he's already VC and has a B&F under his belt. Has only had 1 full pre-season as well I believe. He's a superstar. Definitely our best player by a long way. Deledio is good but not Chimp good

[Ox]

Chimp is the best name ever.

LMAO @ The little chimp stuff!

Is that a club name or a Davey?

[one-eyed]

Nice to see on group that is not carried away with Cotchin fever.
