Trent Cotchin [merged]

[Loui Tufga]

Retire at 27

pee off

Should be played forward

They probably would if he could kick straight 

[Diocletian]

Prestia to the Tigers in 2017 according to Barrett.

There's our inside mid....

Will nominate Collingwood. 

[Andyy]

lol even with Tuck and Jackson there, the need for  inside mids was great , they have even said as much themselves. Their answer so far has been Thomas and this yr when its become even more dire we have taken  what amounts to underachieving players in Moore and Townsend. The complaint is why do they always leave things until they become dire.
No good complaining now dimma you have had 6 yrs to do something about building a balanced list.And to think we gave this chump another two years on the back of what.
Only at Richmond.

In Jackson and especially Tuck we had two very solid big-bodied mids. You'd rather have at least 3 with a depth or 2 backups in the VFL, but honestly having watched the 'Superstar Month' games of Riewoldt's and watching those two play I have to say the midfield looked superior to our current one IMHO. Those blokes really tackled, especially Tuck who just smashed his way around at the clearances...

[Chuck17]

Fancy recruiting midfield types when midfield types fill most positions on the ground.

It's preposterous

[Go Richo 12]

Stop stalking my posts Richo, you little girl.

You'd rather split hairs than face the fact that Hardwick continually defers the blame and is unaccountable for the greater part ...while peanuts like you revel in the propaganda.

I'll stop stalking your posts when the rhetoric stops and the reasoning starts.

I take it that now is the time that my right to free speech is stopping where your feelings begin?

Yes and Treloar was probably going to be another too.

[dwaino]

I thought he was already retired?

[one-eyed]

Dimma backs Cotch to find his best form ...


“He probably didn’t start as well as what he’d like; what we’d like,” Hardwick said on the ABC.

“I think he only had one or two touches in the first quarter.  He got his hands to the ball, but I think, in fairness, the Carlton guys defended him pretty well.

“As the game wore on, he started to get more involved in the contest.

“He’ll continue to get better.”

“There’s no doubt when Trent plays well – if he gets 30 touches – we’re a fair chance of winning the game.  So, we’ve just got to continue to work with him.

“He’s a very important player for us . . .

“He’ll continue to drive himself and drive his team.

“The most important thing – Trent will be the first to tell you this – it’s not how he plays, it’s whether we win or not.

“He wants to be a guy who wins a lot of footy games as a captain, and he’s started to do that.  We’ve won a lot of games . . .

“We’re nowhere near where we want to be, but we’re certainly building to something.”

Yet again Cotchin talks it all up in the pre and then doesn't deliver, just like the finals.

I have always thought he was our best and an absolute gun but I'm really questioning him now.

[Stalin]

more contested touches than any carlton players

outside cripps

[taztiger4]

outside cripps

now now, you know facts aren't welcome here

[Willy]

Sadly, I would swap him for Cripps in a heartbeat.

[Stalin]

I could deal with cripps or hogan or stringer at Richmond too

that doesn't change that chimp goes alright on occasion

I would like him in the forward line more, back in Edwards, miles, corey Ellis. Attempt to extend his football life rather than saying he's done at 27 Dimma you tosser. Should I been fired on the spot

[Penelope]

i thinks you no understand what dimmer was saying

[Stalin]

i didnt read it

i assume it was if we dont get townsend, and grigg doesnt continue to do an admirable job he will be worn out by 27
