New era next year.

Chaplin, Morris, Batchelor, maybe Grigg all gone, maybe Vickery traded, Hampson gone, Conca traded, Houli traded.....

Been saying this for ages!

Good player, says all the right things, looks like a boy scout to the rest of the world.

Clearly can't captain for $h!+. Was a far better player beforehand. I'm not even convinced a lot of his team mates respect him all that much.

Has tried to be more damaging with his disposals in his last 2-3 games but generally doesn't hurt the opposition with or without the ball in hand.


Jack for me. Something tells me Rance would certainly not want it - bloke just wants to play footy and have some semblance of a life outside of the club.

Cotch would get a break from the taggers if he played back pocket.

Maybe not

Sometimes bak pockets/flanks get tagged

For example Geelong tagged b smith and killed Adelaide as the other hbf was out hurt

I don't mind the idea on Cotchin back. Someone's gotta play with

Rance grimes yarren
Bachelor? Astbury? Cantstandya?

Better it Cotchin than Morris  or hunt ..

But his disposal is so woeful we would need 24 blokes on the field to cover

I still believe Cotchin can captain. (eg. first meeting with Collingwood and Syd last year) but like everyone else I dream of him recapturing 2012 form. For this reason, I think Lids should be captain. has been good against Hawthorn and Syd and he's running around with a <100% quad

Look, the automatic instinct is to dismiss this two week data set as coincidental.

But, when you think about it in a considered and measured manner, there's certainly a fair bit of merit involved.

Questions should be asked.

Got belted vs hawthorn

Won when rance and grimes returned ...

What's stopping jack rance deledio and that doing leadership when Cotchin is playing?

Interesting take especially considering the players elected him captain so it's hard to imagine the majority don't respect him

Having said IMESHO i think being captain has become detrimental to his game. And that's why I look at making a change

Though I cannot see him relinquishing it on his accord

Big Bad Benny Griffo for captain!  Every time he kicks 5, we win!    :clapping
Besides, that helmet just exudes leadership!  You'd have to be captain to wear a helmet like that ...    :P
