The players have come up with their own top 50. Only 41-50 have been revealed so far. By the silhouettes, it looks like Cotch is #37.

Either Cotch is in the top 10 according his peers or he misses out on their top 50.

Cotch chosen as the 9th best player in the AFL by his peers  :clapping.


9. Trent Cotchin

Richmond
Midfielder
Official AFL Player Rating: 33
Debut: 2008
Games: 110

One of the game’s leading midfielders, Cotchin was below his best for parts of 2013, but built form leading into September and was outstanding in the club’s first final since 2001, finishing with 26 possessions and two goals. He missed just one game (knee injury) and led the club in kicks (365), disposals (571), clearances (118) and contested possessions (259).

Strengths
Is a contested-ball specialist, evades tacklers, balanced, clever and consistent.

Weaknesses
Not as efficient with the ball as he could be.

What the players said
"To be able to go down forward and be dangerous down there too is what sets him apart." - Travis Boak

"He's a player that young footballers should aspire to be like because he's so good on both sides of his body, he's very balanced, very clean and can also go forward and kick goals." - Lenny Hayes

For me the best KPP is Harry Taylor. I watch a few GFC games because the gf and her family go for the cats and they never poo themselves when the ball ends up in the back half when Harry is there. I can't say the same when the ball enters our D50. There's something about Taylor's composure and pretty decent kicking I wish we had in Chaplin and/or Rance. That being said post sorting out the stalker issues last year he has been very servicable to the club.

agree lamington, Taylor, McPharlin I rate as the best KPD's in the game. Thompson and Henderson are quality too. I rate Mackenzie from wce as an up and comer too. Rance is very good but not better than those guys imo

Rance isn't even the best defender at Richmond.

Yeah but apparently people make too many excuses for him....
