From the AFL website...Cotchin said the Tigers had set themselves to have a season-best week of training in preparation for Saturday night's 'Dreamtime at the 'G' clash against Essendon with plenty at stake.
The Tigers have lost big matches at the MCG this season to Geelong and Collingwood, and Cotchin said the team needed to erase short lapses within games that had cost them dearly.
"We've probably let ourselves down in a couple of the big clashes this season so it's our focus to make sure that our training sessions this week have been the best they've been all season," he said.
"It's important that we continue to rise to the challenges and set the standard.
"We've performed in those games for periods, we've just let ourselves down, whether it's for five or 10 minutes, and that's where the margin gets blown out."
Shane Edwards, who has spent more time in the midfield in an impressive start to the season, said he was looking forward to playing in the 'Dreamtime' match and recognising past Indigenous players.
The 24-year-old, who is the Tigers' only Aboriginal player, said Cotchin and vice-captain Brett Deledio had been crucial in making his move to the midfield a success.
"The coaches have given me a bit more responsibility and I'm just trying to repay that," he said.
