Most would agree the RFC haven't got the agetts to stand Cotch down from captain but would they consider a dual captaincy? In true Richmond style they could hedge their bet.

I personally love Cotch but I do agree some things need to change at the club. Robbo's idea isn't as bad as it sounds. Let Cotch go back to just playing footy without the distraction,  and for a player like Jack I think the position could take him to a new level... And maybe the club.

Great post

Maybe Robbo should rewatch ...

Rd 7 Richmond vs Collingwood
Rd 13 Sydney vs Richmond
Rd 18 Hawthorn vs Richmond

If that's not a captain , I don't know what one is .

Agree with you on the 3 games but it actual highlights part of the issue. Granted everyone is entitled to an off day but that standard in those 3 games should be the norm and not the exception

And IMHO games like the ones you've highlighted have become less frequent over the last 2 seasons.

But the biggest problem again IMHO has been his 3 finals, the last 2 have been woeful, makes you forget the brilliant 3 pretty easily

Has cotch's game improved, stagnated or gone backwards since getting the captaincy?

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Cotchin would be far better than fyfe

if he played at the sydney game standard, week in week out

you have high expectations

so therein lies the answer to the bigger question, does it not?

Agreed.

They wouldn't demote Cotchin.

It's too politically incorrect and sends an almost ruthless message.

This is a club that are more hell bent on sticking with an American woman as president, to appease the leftie and cater to an otherwise useless agenda, than making it about footy.

Well done Benny Gayle.

That's right

Stability in mediocrity is really just stagnancy with another, more politically manipulative name.

can you name one thing that the American woman president has done so wrong to undo what all the other presidents have achieved over the last 33 years?

I think the captaincy should be held by Cotch. I actually think that knee injury a couple years back is what's stopped his ascendancy into Ablett like playing ability.

If we had to pick someone else though I would pick Lids as he has been in the system long enough to get the players preparation right and maybe more players will take the game on and actually run and bounce the ball with Lids as captain my

You're right.

I can't name one thing she's done.

You haven't answered my question
you're good at using race and gender as a bench mark for quality or lack of but nothing else.
