Cotchin was rightful charlie winner at a young age

And a right-jet before we played him with injury. A level above Cambo imo

2 different footballers. Cotchin's game fell away some when the AFL brought the rule in where players dive on the ball. Cotchin was fearless at chucking his body in sliding & taking the players balance away from them. Take a look back at games when he first played & how the rules of football took away a players natural ability to win the hard ball in todays game.
Cotchin needs to use the ball better by penetrating it with longer kicks instead of setting up with his handballs to his team mates who get smashed when they receive it under pressure from him.

My theory is his kicking went Shyte after we played him with the leg injury

Used to kick very well

Yes something is not right with him. l suspect he has some sort of groin issue

Knights and Brodders were better players IMO

Campbell was pretty similar to Cotchin.

Great accumulator of stats that don't really hurt the opposition.

Both had one great year ( Campbell 1995) ( Cotchin 2012 ) and spent the rest of their careers teasing but never really reaching those heights again.

Campbell was good in 1992. I remember a game against Carlton at VFL Park where he had about 41 possessions and kicked about four goals from memory. He was a very good player.

I rated Campbell very highly in his first few years, but as time wore on he slid back.  He is probably one who played a season or two too many ...
Just on Cotch with his kicking & legs, it pays to remember since 2012 Cotch has had both hips operated on, one at a time.  His hip joints had to be pulled apart & the ball on top of his femur scraped & re-shaped before putting the joint back together.  Its fair to say he hasn't been the same since but he is improving each year.  Has it affected his kicking?  You'd have to ask him, but that is quite a procedure to recover from, twice, without missing a game!  Kreuzer has also had the same hip operations done too. 
The things these guys go through just to play football!     :-\

Bout an 8, good player. I agree that knights and Brodders were better players, definitely more damaging whereas he was a running machine and accumulated
