Trade Cotchin

Cotchin is a Top 10 player in the competition for contested possessions.
He's a midfielder, not a flanker :duh

Trent was going to be the next Gary Ablett Jnr 3 years ago. Forget that, now he's probably our 3rd best player in the club.
Cotchin simply should have removed himself from the contest and moved into FF. Take Jacobs with him. All he needs to do is kick one, maybe two goals and he works himself into the game.
That is what we lack in high pressure games, the mental capability to switch things around on the fly to turn the game around.

To be consistent, many on this board have called for Chaplin and Houli to be traded because of their poor finals' campaigns, why should Trent be spared the same comments. Titch has also flattered to deceive in finals. Of the four I've mentioned at least Bachar has worked on his deficiencies this year. It's sad to say but Trent was a better player years ago. I hope it's just above the shoulders.
Joe, Cotchin has just signed a 5 year contract at the start of this year which kicks off next year. It's not going to happen.
I agree it's not going to happen, but my point is we have to be ruthless to improve, we are no better than 2 years ago despite what everyone says. We have serial offenders in finals, and sadly our captain and our coach are two of them. My only two untouchables are our bookends, Jack and Rance. Everyone else is tradeable for the right deal.Tigers of Old said:

I've always believed all ideas were good ideas.
Ideas provoke discussion which may help a plan evolve even its not a blueprint of the original idea.
Its a concept I've always had faith in.
And it's now been utterly destroyed.

The sentimentalist in me hates seeing players leave. The realist says no player is untradeable in the ruthless, business world of footy these days. Just a matter of gaining a lot more than we lose. Can't see the slightest chance of Cotch being traded but it's reasonable to ponder for those who are that way inclined. Same with all our players really. I mightn't like it but everything we do should be to improve our chances of success.

Exactly
Everyone has a value
The buyer always wants to pay less, the vendor always wants more.
There is the odd player, though like Richo and Knights spring to mind, that you want to remain pure tiger - like Jack dyer.
I put $100 on them to get knocked out first week of finals and not make the 8 next season.
Lets just say my ROI is good enough to personally pay Treloar anything outside of the salary cap.
The Bullfrogs are the biggest DOWNHILL SKIIERS in THE AFL. Unlucky for them, it doesnt snow in September.
