Love seeing Cotchin smile so much after that performance. Taking the pee out of members and supporters.

He's a champion

But the last 2 weeks season on the line to see him smiling when we are in so much trouble has me questioning my respect of him

It that makes sense

It just looks like bar a few that they don’t really care. Have just put the cue in the rack for the year.

Shouldn’t be thinking about any trades this year. Hit the draft and hit it hard. Need a new wave of young talent to come in.

No that doesn't make sense. Who knows what he was smiling about? If you are questioning your respect for a triple premiership captain and hero after a couple of smiles, you didn't have much respect to begin with.

I totally agree with this.  It really looks as though the don't care. 
As for Bolton, I reckon he might be leaving.  Seems a different player from last few years.

We're lucky we're playing an undermanned Freo side who have missed more shots. We should be 10 goals down.

You get what you deserve when you play a 2016 stagnant & long aimless bomb inside 50 "gameplan" plus the selection committee continues to pick blokes like Aarts and George who should've been dropped weeks ago. We are playing two man short from the first bounce every week.

Sadly I think it's best for us to lose this game. Whoever the forward coach is sack them.

Bit of any overreaction there mate.

Cotch is cooked but he should have all of our respect after what he has delivered.

I have the utmost respect for him but right now we need him to stand up and lead us

In that qtr he marked and passed it off rather than taking the shot.  As Captain he had to seize that moment

Last week as we lost a game without giving a yelp he was sitting on the bench laughing as players came off. Not the best look

Now today with our season on the line he's smiling after the most atrocious first half this season when he should bringing his side in and challenging them to fight

It's not a great look

It feels that way. We've only turned up once to play (for Jack's 300th over) the past two months. Workrate off the ball is poor. Too many passengers. Slow movement of the footy allowing the opposition to flood back. No run from behind for handball receives to break the lines and as already mentioned our small forwards are MIA.

Shouldn’t be thinking about any trades this year. Hit the draft and hit it hard. Need a new wave of young talent to come in.
Agree. Bring in some youth and new enthusiasm and hunger.

Clearly I haven't explained myself well

Hence the whacks

I get that

Never said I had lost respect for him or that I no longer respect him or that I don't respect him

Just bloody frustrated

Did Astbury just fall over too easily?

Poor by Astbury. Softly goes to ground in the contest and Taberner pulls one out of his wazzoo.
