All NicNat has proved to date is that he was a better choice than Jack Watts.
Where's your sarcasm icon Baloo?
NicNat to quote the legendary Thorpey creates a disturbance in the minds of opposition sides. Kid doesn't string games together just yet but is capable of just about anything in any given moment.

Got my doubts about the Kruze missile. Seems to be having a fair few technical problems, hips, knee, deadleg syndrome. May stop him ever reaching and maintaining the peaks most thought he was capable of.
 
Way down in the congo land sitting in a coconut tree,
there was a monkey and a chimp--and Lordy how she loved him.
Everynight in the pale moonlight sitting in the coconut tree,
these love words she always said to he...

"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the monkey to the chimp.
"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimpee to the monk.
All night long they chattered away.
All day long they were happy and gay,
swinging and swaying in a honky, tonky way.

"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimp, "I love but you."
Abba dabba dabba in monkey talk means
"Chimp, I love you too."
Then the ol' baboon, one night in June,
married them and very soon,
they sailed away on an abba dabba honeymoon.

It's called the Jason Laycock Principle

Just on Laycock, he's back playing in Tassie & is absolutely dominating the state league. Easily the best player in the State. BOG in the GF last week as well.

Was asked by some clubs to nominate for the draft, but declined.

Is that the equivalent of the Amateurs here in Victoria Leysy?

Yes and no. Overall would be the equivalent. But the best players would be right at home in the VFL / SANFL / WAFL. Not overly strong on depth, but the good are pretty good.

Dont know the local standards in Vic well enough Phil, but at a guess something like the Eastern.

As Rob said, some very good players there (Howe & Mohr have come through in recent years), but unlike cricket in the state it isn't well run.
 
In Round 1 next year we should all start yelling out "they didn't want you Cotch, they didn't think you were good enough to go number 1".

Do the same about Martin when we play Melb.

Sometimes chronology is a funny thing......

By 1990, our team was on it's knees with the SOS campaign building up but as I continued supporting the club as a member along with buying and selling raffle tickets and giving money for donations, being a naive 23 year old, I sometimes wondered if we would get any better.

On the night of APRIL 6, 1990 I left work and walked to the G to watch us play at home to North hoping we would make up for that embarassing loss to the Bears at Carrara in Round 1. The small crowd was depressing enough to see, but after a good start with an opening goal to Michael Mitchell, we got slaughtered and ended up losing by 141 points. I was angry, ran out, stood near other angry supporters at the players rooms door with some supporters banging on the door and yelling out the f word. They wouldn't let anyone in and so I stormed out of the G and nearly threw my membership card in a bin close by. As I was angrily walking to the train station, a lady walked past, saw me looking upset and said "Don't worry love tomorrow will be a better day".........and then on APRIL 7, 1990, a future Tiger legend was born. ;D

Very nice. I was there too TF. I'd arranged to meet some mates from Ballarat, their car broke down and they didn't show, pre-mobile phones of course. My girlfriend had left me not long before. It was so bad it was transcendental. I had an out of body experience watching myself watching the tiges get flogged, alone in the old southern stand, thinking, why are you sitting there? Stayed until the final siren, then stayed another 20 minutes after that. Thinking why am I sitting here? It must have been the spirit of Cotchy

Every cloud really does have a silver lining snake. You owe me $50 and you better restrain yourself from posting in the wee hours of the morning or another girlfriend will leave. ;)
 
Trent Cotchin is the one , born to lead , born to drag this great club to glory ........ His arrival was sent from the footy gods (thanks Capt Blood)
 
Would like to see a fully-fit Kreuzer take to the field for once, rather than playing under injury clouds. Has been the case since his first year - did not make his debut until Round 3 2008. I'm not going to write him off...who knows what he could be capable of if he can catch a break with the injury gods.

corrected :spin
 
Kreuzer was super impressive before he did his knee. Of course I'd still take Cotchin ahead of him and am wrapped that we did pick him but it is unfair to label the Blues with 'stuffing up their pick' IMO.
 
I'm more than happy that at the time, the club addressed the ruck situation. Our rucks were terrible....you know you have a big problem if your top two ruckmen are Cain Ackland and Cam Cloke....the latter couldn't even survive on Port's list during a bleak period in their club's history. To say the Blues stuffed their pick up is showing a very limited knowledge of all angles of the situation, and about as intelligent-sounding as the old "my dad is better than your dad" argument.....
 
Would you take gary ablett or dean cox?

Would you take chris judd or brad ottens?

Personally, I'd have cotchin, because... he's cotchin. No matter how good kreuzer gets (And there's no guarantee he ever will become a dominant consistent ruckman), I'd still rather have cotchin.

Although, draft picks are essentially a lottery, if you have a ruck deficiency, I guess you take a ruckman. There was no guarantee cotchin was going to be... cotchin.
