Might be a weird statement but I liked Gordon taking it upon himself to have a shot on goal from 50 on a rough angle. He kicked it out on the full but at least showed a bit of responsibility instead of going with the easy option and kicking it to the top of the square.

True but is should never been passed to him by Dusty. Dusty should have taken the shot or at least kicked to the goal square

That's what White used to do all the time - we all remember those spectacular looking running goals he kicked from near the boundary, but fact is he missed more often than not and most of the time he should've just squared it up. I'd prefer Gordon not continue that theme.

Played his best football 2 seasons ago in that crumbling forward role and I thought that's his home now some reason moved again and has gone backwards.

Should be a sub before he's sacked.

Been saying that since they brought the rule in. Made for him. Though after his efforts in these first three games I'd like to see him in the VFL first.

He is no ablett

But is he the first to go?

Not sure he worse than say Grigg pettard houli etc

8 years of utter tripe judge and yes he should be one of the first to go, nudged out slightly by Newman with grigg third

look at his career and instead of going backwards he has just reverted back to what is normal for him.. have often said when hes at his verybest which isnt often and cant be sustained hes a passable player, as soon as there is any sort of drop away from his best he becomes very ordinary indeed.

Cotchin was 35 metres out running into an open goal and tries to pass to Jackson
WTF
Guy in the Herald Sun gives him 3 votes
Obviously wasn't at the game
i thought he was close to best on ground.
if there is a knock on cotchins game it has always been kicking and goal kicking in particular. perhaps cotchin was trying to play within his limitations and do the right thing.
cotchin will always make mistakes when kicking but i for one think he more than makes up for this weakness in every single other aspect of the game.

Yep. People forget how bad Watson was.

I have issues with every other senior player out there, except Cotchin.
