Trent Cotchin (Merged)

Anyone hear mark Williams on sen . ?

Didn't he have a dig.

Cotchin should have been rubbed out.

Anyone ask how Shiel is? Felt cheated he said. Only played a quarter.

Missing Mumford, Cameron and list Shiel.

Cotchin caused the concussion.


But he is wearing his Richmond cap, dusty and Grimes badge.

He said callers will call in and winge but fair is fair. Cotchin went to bump while Shiel was reaching for the ball.


We don't want your support Mark. Get on the Adelaide train not ours.
Was funny when he asked somebody who backed Cotch if he had ever played the game. Wonder if he'd ask Leigh Matthews that question? Wasn't Shiel the one going out with his daughter?

Might have something to do with his daughter being in a relationship with Shiel for several years.

The decision to let Cotch play is a trade off for us wearing the clash jumper.

Nothing else.

I see it as Adelaide getting Jake King rubbed out over a delayed concussion thing coming back to bite them. Call it poetic justice or karma or whatever.

Speak for yourself ... he spoke his mind about what he thought about it and he was right, Cotch didn't have his arms out to pick up the ball. Cotch was a little bit lucky that he wasn't rubbed out, just as Shiel was a little bit unlucky to get concussed.

Chocco was shafted by the club last year, so to have his support is pretty remarkable really, he was extremely bitter about it and his coaching career is now pretty much shot.

remind me again how he was shafted ?
 
Just choko cracking the *smile* cos his not apart of the RFC anymore and his new son inlaw got touched up lol

getting sacked on the phone, when all indications were that he was going to get offered an extension, albeit possibly in a different role. there wasn't any indication that from the club that he hadn't performed in his role and wasn't any indication that there wouldn't be another role offered. that's how he feels he has been shafted.
 
Now Choco, Cotch did have both hands on the footy at the moment his shoulder ACCIDENTALLY contacted Dylan's jaw! Have a look at the pic in today's Age http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-grand-final-match-review-panel-to-decide-tiger-skipper-trent-cotchins-fate-20170925-gynzgz.html
Cotch's aggressive attack on the footy has been his greatest asset this year and he made the correct decision to get his body between Dylan and the footy rather than let Dylan get an easy possession. We're not playing netball so accidental head knocks may still happen and Cotch had no alternative but interfere with Dylan's attempt to take possession. Choco is too close to Dylan and has lost touch with the highly contested modern game.

Schwarz and Allen on SEN are just as bad saying if it had been Round 6 he would have got a week! On what basis can they say that? MRP said he had no case to answer bc he was going for the footy so how can that be different in Round 6? Gee I hope there aren't any idiots in the crowd that will boo Cotch when he goes near the ball on Sat. Great to see some toughness and tenacity coming back into our team, we've been playing like pussy cats for too long.
I can sense a bit of Graeme Richmond coming back into our team, fantastic.

The Tigers sacked 5 players that weekend and Chocco was interstate. The word would have got out anyway so the right thing to do was to tell him over the phone. Not the ideal way but none of the coaches were required to come to work on Monday. He may feel shafted but that's business. I think Chocco has a soft spot for the Tigers still, he certainly helped Martin become the player he is now.

right, so the radio interview I heard with him when he said he had no issues with the way he was let go , he was lying ?

He was in the middle of SA for a funeral FFS & had told Dan Richardson prior to leaving that he wanted to know sooner rather than later

I think you have put 2 & 2 together & came up with something that aint 4

his issue was less about it being done on the phone and more about there being no indication that there not be another role offered. he definitely has a soft spot for number of the players, particularly players like butler who was heading for delisting last year until chocco set him straight. his relationship with dusty is very strong ... dusty is pretty much a part of their family.

Allan is Carlton flog and a hater, Schwarz is just sour grapes because he wanted the Dees in the finals, never has a good word for us.

Mark Robinson saying it's scandalous the Cotchin got off. He is now the biggest moron of all time
I saw him on Swan St after the game. I was one beer away from telling him what a flog he was. He had his missus with him. Poor woman ;D

Allan is actually a Collingwood flog, but he's definitely a Richmond hating flog & has stated that quite often.
I don't bother listening to SEN, apart from KB.
 
tigerlove said:
Mark Robinson is clueless. Can't even put a sentence together without mumbling and bumbling. How do guys like him get media gigs?

Haven't listened to him for ages, I turn the radio off when he comes on and don't watch 360 simply because he is so annoying. Whateley does nothing for me either but robbo is simply too much.
 
Imagine if he was suspended.

Come next year, what sort of footy would you expect to be played during the two preliminary finals?

If i was playing i'd be worried sick i might accidentally hurt someone who is running around thinking contact doesn't happen in AFL football.
 
Hey backbone sounds like you Mark Williams.!

Your daughter dates Shiel that's your gripe.

Matthews of all people who did some things wrong said that Cotchin was going for the ball with ferocity and wanted it . That's whose opinion I value.

Why was your boy clutching his shoulder?
Why wasnt your boy clutching his jaw that Cotchin hit? Sorry his no 9 hit him )
Oh that's right he couldn't see and grab his shoulder not jaw.

Your gripe should be with GWS who let him back on the field again if he couldn't see!

Your gripe is with the RFC for letting you go.!


See ya.

To all the Richmond haters we are back.
Wait till we win Saturday and Cotchin is BOG against plastic tough guy Walker.


David( who wanted to come to the tigers after his knee injuries but the tigers didn't want you, Robbo( the drunk Robinson), Mark( the nobody cares golfer), Ralphy( fake tiger supporter who only wants to sell news for his paper) and all P... O..
