Hawthorn inquires about Trent Cotchin's contract status (Herald-Sun)

[Chuck17]

Hence why I said "still, no excuse....."

Completely agree Diocletian.

We should have gone hard at the trade table last year while we looked like a team on the up.  Will be a fair bit more challenging to trade for players now without some huge off field changes.

I don't think Cotchin is a guarantee to stay.  Never seems like his heart is at the tigers.  Very conservative footballer.  Players like Riewoldt and Deledio, you know they bleed Richmond (irrespective of their performances).  Never had that feeling about Cotchin.

Gees your a flog

There's no story here, does anyone really think cotch would cash in his destiny of being a premiership captain of one the worlds great clubs for the public shame that would go with conceding it was all too hard and riding on the coat tails of success elsewhere.....you underestimate cotch, yep the bloke that ditched the no 17 and said he wanted to make his own history in no 9 

Really?

Then why did he only sign last year for 2 years instead of the 4/5 yrs that was on the table?

He will re-sign no doubt but could have avoided all this crap if committed long term last year.

And he wants to avoid the circus that's coming up he should tell his manager to get the deal done now so as a leader he makes a statement to his team mates that he is there for the long haul

Agree WP.

To maximize his commercial value of course , why on earth would he sell himself short , this contract will be for at least 4-5 years, 3-4mn

[Diocletian]

Heard a rumour that if he does leave it will be more likely in a westerly direction than an easterly one.

[Yeahright]

Kid needs money and who blames him. P.S Fyfe has done the same thing

Yeah and Fyfe re-signed yesterday for less money than being offered on the east coast

And BTW Cotchin is currently our highest paid player so I don't think he is living on poverty street 

Cotchin signed for less than he was offered elsewhere.

I don't think any of them including the guy holding the specky bag are on poverty street but I bet all of them would take more money if offered.

[Yeahright]

He would round off Port real nicely

Not necessarily that far west.

So are you implying that it's only about the money with Cotchin then? You know about maximising his value of course and getting the best possible deal?

Perhaps it's best you quit now, before you paint him as a mercenary

Trent Cotchin = Richmond Captain
