I'm a Tony but I can guarantee it wasn't me. Definately not a real Fluffy like post.

Probably because she earns some money through advertising products on her social media. I know If I could make money for posting pictures of random clothes/items I sure as hell would.

Is it possible to turn off comments?

Maybe she shouldn’t ever read them

Terrible and really poor game from our cap.

Didn’t give us that usual spark and lift that we almost take for granted and got beaten for most of the night.

Very disappointing.

[Diocletian]

Badly needs the bye and a return to Melbourne...

I wonder if Cotch is trying to protect his hammies for the rest of the H/A season and not over-extend himself. I can only think of one or two times tonight he threw himself at the ball in the contest at a stoppage.

Jonathan Brown said Cotch has got to lift the side as Richmond is in a rut at the moment. Said Cotch was trying too hard to stand up to opposition players and he needed to control his ego as he's giving away frees (Brown stipulated there's nothing wrong with having an ego as Voss as captain did too). Garry Lyon added that Cotch's output is down on previous years.

Can thank his wife for ending his career

[the claw]

signs have not been good for a fair while now, hate to criticise this bloke because hes one who has been great for us for a long time.
Unfortunately father time catches up with everyone and last night was about the worst ive seen the captain.

[FooffooValve]

Little doubt in my mind that he will step down as captain at the end of this year, and possibly retire. He owes us nothing and has been truly great, and it will be a very sad day when he makes that announcement. But everything, including his business interests outside footy, and his form and fitness, point to the end.

‘Control your ego’: Tigers skipper Trent Cotchin cops it for ‘trying too hard’ in faceplant loss

Max Laughton
Fox Sports
June 26th, 2021

Trent Cotchin must “control his ego” and stop “trying too hard” after several contentious moments as his Tigers slumped to an awful loss to St Kilda, says Jonathan Brown.

The Richmond captain had 22 disposals, going at a poor 54.5 per cent efficiency, with three clearances in a horrendous team performance as his side kicked just two goals.

It marks a continued difficult campaign for Cotchin, who is averaging his lowest disposal count since 2009.

But Brisbane great Brown argued the Brownlow medallist also needed to show more leadership after getting involved in a couple of scuffles with the Saints, showing his frustration amid a difficult night.

“It’s his lowest-rated year since 2009, but I’m more worried about his impact on the game,” Brown said post-game on Fox Footy.

“It’s almost like he’s trying too hard. He should wear the frustration and think, I’m the captain, I’ve got to get us back into the game, but it’s got to be that controlled aggression.

“You can’t tip over, you’ve got to control your ego ... especially when your team’s back is to the wall.

“He’s got to be able to lead the players out of this hole they’re in at the moment.”
