Nearing the end of the year, I though it would be interesting to gauge with the flock which players you respect less given their on and off field performances this year.

Perhaps Cotchin, for his miserable 9 possessions vs Norf and failing to fire again in finals.

Perhaps Dusty, for the alleged behaviour last weekend.

Alex Rance for taking so much time off?

Reece Conca for percieved fitness issues.

Griffiths, for failing to come on?

Discuss.

Cotch, Lids, Ellis, Edwards. Didn't deliver when it counted.
Don't hate them, just don't respect them as much as I did. Don't see how anyone could really. It's all about finals.

Cotchin has at least stood up in one final when the chips were down....which still puts him in a very small but elite group at RFC of him, Vlastuin, Maric (2013), Miles, Rance & Riewoldt (2015)

Hunt - didn't expect the world but thought he'd be a handy pick up but has been pretty disappointing.
Cotchin - everyone has a dog day but 9 possessions? Gee wiz.

On another tangent 2 players have earnt more of my respect
Grimes - I know Claw thinks he's soft but I disagree. May not be big bodied but he isn't scared to put it on the line
Miles - liked him last year, loved him this year. You can always trust him in the centre and does quite well defensively too.

I respect anyone for being good enough to play footy at the highest level.

I was disappointed in a few senior players for not standing up when it counted last September .

We were good enough to beat North . Chance to play in a preliminary final went begging .

I think you will find lids averages 24 possies per final and nearly a goal per final, I'll bet there are many , many afl players and (not good enough to tie bootlaces) supporters who would love to do that.

That's a decent average but I wouldn't call that standing up when the chips are down

We have had more than a few senior players fail to stand up in september. every year  it is almost an epidemic come september.

Yeah you re-watch them then tell us again not how good he was when we were overrunning Carlton and 5 goals up , not how good he was in second half v Port when they were 10 goals up and the horse had bolted, but how good he was when those matches were on the line and Carlton, Port & North were overrunning us....

Despite the early goal, Lids sucked against North. No impact. I expected more because he is talented.

They're all idiots.

It should be, what players have gained your respect in 2015.

I'd say Miles, Rance .... That's it
Caracella and Balmey.

+ Jack for me, because he stood up in the final.
