Cotchin's captaincy [merged]

[🏅Dooks]

Cotch had a good game. Lets see if he backs it up in the next few.

Quite a few silly looking people tonight

Plenty of silly posters here
They will be screaming for Ivan to be brought back in next week 😉😜

Funny Jack for memory you've been critical of him being captain over time 

Thought he was very good last evening but that must be yhe norm and sadly it isnt always

39 touches must be the norm....if he wants to be goat.

Its one thing to say he was not good enough in Elim finals, but to expect 40 touches a game is totally unfair.

Better than the first 7 weeks but whoops Doo.

He still promotes a poo brand of football in the guts and can't kick for poo.

Come on WP!
Just you trying to defend your comments of late on Cotch.
Cotch has had a pretty decent year to date. In our best 3 I'd say.
But getting 40 touches for anyone isn't going to be the norm.
No need to keep pushing your point as it was clearly wrong.

Would indeed end up the greatest of all time

If he plays like that weekly

High expectations some people.

[TigerMonk]

A captain is only as good as the team mates who believe & play for him. If they play as a team it don't matter who is the captain.

I have actually
But last night he wasn't getting the cheap possessions behind the ball
Also the issue of being more " user friendly " has obviously been addressed

Excuse me?

Wasnt talking about the number of possessions I was talking solely about his leadership. Which was excellent last night

Unlike the media and it seems some on here i dont get seduced by the number of possessions someone has. If I did Ellis B would be in the bests every week

Have been saying it for years it's not about quantity its about quality

So please dont twist what i posted to suit, i was talking about leadership, which is what i thought this thread was about; ccaptaincy

Please refer to my response above, will repeat i am not talking about the number of possessions i was am only talking about his leadership, seeing the thread is about captaincy

As leader last night he was excellent because as Jack correclty pointed out he was not getting cheap possessions out the back.

Thats what I was iwas talking about. It needs to be the norm. Can i make it any clearer 

As for pushing a point, it's an opinion and I stand by it. Last time i checked we are allowed to have them and we don't have to agree with each other all the time. Doesnt mean the people are wrong just mean we disagree. Unfortunately you don't agree and you always say the other person is wrong.

But back to the topic

His leadership is at time very inconsisitent.

Last night, last year against Sydney, last year against C'wood were outstanding efforts and for this club to go forward it needs to be the norm. Or dont you see ot that way?

And pray tell, what is your measuring stick for quality captaincy? (underlined quote focuses qualifier on possession, which contradicts thesis of quote)

You've admonished him for inconsistency, but begged that arguably 3 of the most outstanding captains games played by any captain for this club in the last 30 years must become the NORM??

Righto mate....

Yep you jumped on the number of posssions suggestong i was saying  39 possessions needed to be the norm.

When i made no reference to the number of possessions he had

 As i said last time I checked this thread was/is about his captaincy not the number of kicks he gets or handballs he has in a game and that was the only thing i was referring to. 

[Yeahright]

None of your underlined quotes actually back up what you are trying to say

Righto mate....

Thanks I don't need to again highlight what I think quality leadership is about because you have repeated what I've already said focused on what he needs to do more of. 

Unless of course you want more of the Elim Finals (2014 & 2015) and C'wood rd 2 this year as the norm?
