RICHMOND: Trent Cotchin

While he didn't reach his high standards during the first half of the season, captain Trent Cotchin has been building form and could be the Tigers' leading vote-winner. Equal second in the Brownlow Medal last year with 26 votes, he has played 17 games and averaged 26.9 possessions in 2013. Brett Deledio has been hot and cold this year, either taking the game by the scruff of the neck or being tagged out of the contest. Likewise, Dustin Martin has played some superb games but is not expected to poll consistently. Expect the evenness of Richmond's midfield to be reflected in votes also being shared among Brandon Ellis, Daniel Jackson and Reece Conca. - Nathan Schmook

I'd doubt we have a player that polls more than 14 or 15 votes this year but as a club we will probably be in the top 5 for votes.
Nice even spread - perfect.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

I see the Coleman Medal race the same. The fact that we are kicking more goals but with less input/reliance on Jack is the reason the opposition are finding us so difficult to shut down this season as opposed to last. Cotch output is down on last season for many reasons but the midfield is stronger. I'll take that  :thumbsup

Brownlow predictor: We tip your team's contenders

Sunday, September 22, 2013



RICHMOND

Predicted most votes: Powerful midfielder Dustin Martin, who might well be on his way out of the club, is our pick to lead the Tigers' Brownlow charge. Our reporters voted him best on ground in rounds three (10-goal win over the Western Bulldogs), seven (win over Port Adelaide), 13 (another thumping victory over the Dogs) and 22 (big win over Greater Western Sydney).

Consider: Tigers' skipper Trent Cotchin and vice-captain Brett Deledio should both poll a reasonable number of votes. Cotchin polled 26 votes last year, which would have been enough to win the medal in most seasons. Instead, he finished equal second, four behind Essendon's Jobe Watson.

Roughie: Brandon Ellis enjoyed a very impressive second season at the highest level, regularly topping 20 possessions.

Ineligible: Shane Edwards, Steven Morris
