I had a sensational experience with Jack Higgins
He saved the day when my daughter had a shatteringly disappointing experience with Jack Riewoldt .. all always respect Higgins for the great kindness he showed my daughter at a time her idol was pathetic

Cotch did say that Jack Higgins was both good and bad for Richmond, but that's a story for another day.

Haven't read the book and likely won't be but have heard the same thing but more bad than good  :shh

For me one of the problems with Higgins was when he made his rather foolish comments about why he couldn't understand why he was dropped in 2020 and didn't get picked for the 2020 GF. Seriously, if young Jack didn't know then he was clearly delusional.

But glad he was great to your daughter Damo

My mrs set me up with a great IPTV subscription
Been watching fox footy perfectly (no buffering) and another 4000+ channels and a heap of movies

Best present for years, and plenty of Richmond games to watch now without hunting for streams etc

Anyone wanting any details shoot me a PM .. definitely better than missing the Foxtel games or paying high amounts for Kayo or Foxtel

Works on phone/smart tv/computer etc

Cotch does come across as quite whipped

I honestly don’t know one “WAG’s” name without looking it up aside from Nadia Bartel and Brooke Cotchin

Both in the headlines for different reasons

Feel sorry for Nadia

Brooke on the other hand ….

Trent is obviously Mrs Cotchin at home .. amazing considering how tough he was on the field .. what a leader he was and how lucky was the RFC to have him !

But dunno if he’d be the type to “drink with the boys”

A bit harsh , he had interests out of football as he said it kept him grounded and you don’t have to drink with the boys to be a good leader and was always there for the boys when they needed help

Did I say you have to drink with the boys to be a good leader

Reckon I might have said the following -

what a leader he was and how lucky was the RFC to have him !

Dusty ought to be thankful we had a country boy like Trent for a captain. Imagine if we'd had the Melbourne or West Coke leadership.Boy from the wrong side of the tracks could have ended up very badly.
