Great win Tigeritis. Gee, capt stood up in the second half. You look like a dumb ass
No he didn't. Very poor game by him. I expect much more from an elite player.
Cotchins first half was woeful
But his 2nd half was very good
I get you don't rate him as a captain and hell I am on record as whacking his poor leadership over the years but credit where it is due.
He improved out of sight in the 2nd half. His inside contested work helped get us back in the game
Take the anti Cotchin goggles off for a minute and you might care to acknowledge it
I'm not anti Cotchin. Had a man crush when he first put on the jumper.
I don't think he should be captain though as I think it's hindered him as a player.
I will acknowledge him when he plays well. Im critical of all players when they play poorly but I have much higher expectations for elite players especially when they are captain of our club.
Granted his second half was twice as good as his first half but only passible by the standards I'd expect from a Brownlow medalist and captain, I didn't like the dinky kick in the third that caused a turnover.
I must admit that unfortunately Hardwicks stupid game plan ruined his natural game and not his fault but he was a fanatical adherent to that stupidity.
I like it when he shows his natural ability to win the contest, break free and pinpoint a pass on a forwards chest.
I want him also to perform in the crunch games against quality opposition and perform in the ultimate test of finals.
I don't expect any of this from Grigg.
