Hmm, well if you read that post then you'll note I made sure to point out that it WASN'T regarding possessions with my last line.

But if its NOT about possessions, then his game v North was acceptable? (6 of his 9 were contested from memory).

Your last line contradicted the whole point of the rest of your post so I chose to ignore it.

Why are you trying to quantify leadership into one statistic? There's obviously a lot people don't see so as outsiders you can never make a truly accurate opinion but surely even you can walk away from a game thinking either a) Cotch played a game that benefited and lifted the team or b) Cotch was way too selfish looking for the hand ball receives, one-twos and dinky side way kicks

What some fail to acknowledge is, this thread was created at a time that it was justifiable.

We all know he can b a good player....and that's the point.

Oh, it's been happening for three years now, some can all crap on as much as you want about it being unwarranted.

What other captain made so many errors in so many games for so long???

Making a lot of posters look really foolish
WP for one.
But I'm sure he will have something really intelligent to say.  :wallywink

Why? And another cheapshot I see. Can't help yourself can you  :wallywink

He had less possessions last than the week before but his game was just as good. Thought  he was excellent again last night. Backed up a great captains game with another one

Which actually highlights my point from the week before that you clearly didn't or perhaps refuse to acknowledge and that was his game last week wasn't great just because he had 39 possessions it was the influence he had on those around him which was happened again last night.

Get it? He had less possessions but just as much influence as a leader, as i said great game.

So go ahead, take a few more cheap sgots from the cheap seats while i go and tie my shoe laces  :wallywink
Hardly a cheap shot.
I think in this thread you are talking crap and the more you talk the smellier it gets.
Try owning what you said and stop trying to twist it so you don't look stupid.
How can you possibly say the 39 touches of the footy last week weren't the reason he played an excellent game. The other stuff you are talking about he does every week, the difference is he doesn't always get 39 and we don't always win. The only thing that is different in those occasions is your thinking.
I don't think his hardness at the footy or his effort can ever be questioned, ever. Not in the entire time he has been at the club.
That's what leadership is, leading from the front. He may not always be BOG and he may miss a goal here and there. But effort and hardness can never be questioned.
Is there any other player at our club that is as hard at the contest and gives a better effort than Cotch?... Maybe Rance would be his equal but that is it.
Anyway it seems you and I are miles apart on this one and I'm sure you'll be the first to jump on him when we lose the next close game.

That's a really good post

It's been an absolute disgrace tonight watching Cotch bust his gut in the middle and then have to chase and pressure multiple North players on the outside because his so-called teammates can't/won't do it.
