Cotchin has been going missing all year, particularly when the going gets tough. If the captain of your football club is incapable of shaking the tag of a kid, then Richmond fans have every right to call him out on it.
He does not work nearly hard enough. He spends more time playing for free kicks than going to the footy. His disposal and goal kicking is sub par and as an on-field leader of this football club, he has been found wanting this year.
i like Cotchin as an individual and a player, but he needs to pull his finger out and stop being a big baby expecting the football to be handed to him on a silver platter. He gives up way to easy.
"doesn't work hard enough" - are you high? stuff me heard it all now....or perhaps you think should he step up and do the work of 6 players as opposed to only doing the work of 3 that he currently does? "Expects the ball to be handed to him on a silver platter" - you're taking he pee - who's he expecting this silver service from - all the softies who just stand around expecting him to do everything?
Just about the only player who works hard all game, every game. Pretty much responsible for over half our wins since Hardwick has been coach and practically worth 15 percentage points to us on his own.
All the stuffing useless, lazy, unaccountable pootrucks in our side and nupties are bitching about Cotchin - the bloke who's been carrying them all for 4-5 years- because he hasn't put on an enough of a show for a couple of matches and he got tagged out once - nevermind he's had half a dozen players swarm all over him every time he goes near it since he was 20. Boggles the mind. All you Cotchin baggers are like our midfield - you just expect him to always get us out of the poo by himself win games single-handedly.
Time to plug yourself back in champ....or better yet just stay unplugged from the internet altogether.
