pettifer certainly wasnt' in the best for me. the only thing he did well was that he covered alot of ground and picked up possessions. but he was way too slow to dispose of the ball after taking a mark. too often bombed the ball aimlessly forward after getting the ball. waste. shouldnt' play for richmond again.
I think you need to consider where he's come from to put in a performance like he did today. He did his knee, around 9 months ago and it was his first game back at this level. Many players don't even make it back in that amount of time and he's already got BOG for Coburg 2nds and then put in a 30+ disposal game today by working his butt off. He was rubbish last year, but credit where credit is due, he's clearly worked hard to get back.
about cotchin, certainly would need to build up a bit more fitness but everytime he got it was clean and decisive with his disposals. one thing i think he needs to change is to be more selfish. too often he gets the ball, has space to work it but automatically gives the ball to a team mate just cos they called for it. in effect, it just wasted his possession when his team mate fumbles or turns it over. that's teh problem when you're too good for some of your team mates.
I wouldn't say he was clean and decisive with every one of his disposals, he had a couple of grubber kicks. He's clearly above this level, but I wouldn't bring him back against Brisbane. He needs more fitness.
