Not according to Christian who was apparently the outlier at the MRP and wanted him rubbed out.
Lucky it wasn't this year and we were about to play his old mob... no doubt he would have stepped aside.... hmmmm, actually, probably not!
It was hard to see on TV but I absolutely loved Cotch repeating his 2017 antics of being the last to let go of the cup during the presentation. For those of you not there, they both put it down casually and Davis kept walking away in same motion - Chimp gripped it tight turned the the crowd and gave a cheeky grin. All the boys in the team cheered, as so did those of us who remembered this from 2017!
Needs to play the game of his life. From the opening bounce. If he does that then we win.
I really hope so. He's become a bit of a bit player, rather than damaging. A very, very talented and inspirational bit player, but one nonetheless.
I'd loved to read the Cotchin wiki profile in 10 years and see Brownlow Medal winner, 2 time Premiership Captain and Norm Smith Medal Winner. That would look fitting against his name.
They’ll target the skipper if they want 21 other Tigers on their arse. We will not be intimidated.
Went to a corporate function tonight, they said there is a rumour Cochin might not play due to being injured. Anyone got any light on this? Also found it interesting in the grand final press conference with both captains and coaches, one of our guys said that both teams might be taking injured players in, i thought we are 100% fit. Anyone got info?
They might be talking about Broad and Whitfield?
Cotchin and Martin had corkies, but I couldn't imagine they'd not play now.

The speakers on stage mentioned Cotchin by name. However one of the speakers was gerard Healy so that probably says alot.
It has always felt to me like he sacrificed his chance to be a 30+ possie clearance machine (Neale, Sidebottom, etc) in favour of being a team leader. Dimma needed an inspirational, inside, grubby, workhorse (perhaps someone a bit like himself as a player?) and Cotch took it on. Says volumes about him I reckon. Skip will get it done.
p.s. If he holds the cup aloft again I would love him to be allowed to step outside and away from the coal face and enjoy the later part of his career in the open spaces a bit. I can see the articles now about "turning back the clock".
Captain Cotch will lead from the front today.
May not get a heap of possessions but will be a battering ram and be an example of commitment to the cause.

Really rapt the skipper kicked that goal in the last quarter
His leaping reaction was an absolute ripper
In Captain Cotch we have a really wonderful man and a very fine leader.
