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.
What a champion.

Genuine. I wouldn't be sarcastic about our captain.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Thought he was great tonight

Led from the front

But let down terribly from so many of his pathetic teammates

He had a good game. Tried his guts out all game.

I would like to see him conquer Jacobs though and play well in a final



.... And lift the cup over his head on grand final day, which is the only thing that can vindicate this bunch of poofs after losing to the 9th place scum.

Ironic that you said you'd like to see him play well in a final, then referred to the one final he actually did play well in.

And there is the problem.

If any of our senior players need him to "inspire them" to play football with passion and commitment, they need to be shown the door immediately.

What a load of hogwash Dooks. Good footballers have what is called pride in their own performance. They will give multiple efforts continuously without the need of "inspiration" from the captain.

For a self proclaimed expert on this forum, you sometimes come up with very strange comments.

This guy has been excellent since returning from his broken cheek.

I've been a very harsh critic of him but he's playing very good, tough football and is hurting the opposition more with his disposals or at least trying to. Shame he hasn't got more help.

Still think Rance or Jack should be captain though.

Nearly every other captain in the league, particularly the ones who are mids, also have the distinct advantage of playing in sides that actually block & shepherd and now how to do it effectively.
