But watching the game it looked like Taylor Adams in a Richmond jumper. Handballs missing targets and kicks to nowhere.
He was 50 times better in the fosters cup game against the little pies.
Very ordinary game, but "champion data' have him going at 70%

The Skip just cruised around in 3rd all day , just clicking up a gear when needed , love the Skip
I thought it was a real mixed bag from the Captain today. Ball use pretty poor I thought. 11 turnovers said as much.
Not according to the double page spread in the HS today, he said he hopes he has a couple of good years left in him.
agree, Very tentative with his kicking. however I love him, and thought it was a decent first showing, I'm now off to say 3 hail dusty's for my first comments. As you were.
Shocking. His kicking is getting worse as he gets older. He almost could have made Hawks best it was that bad.
his kicking has been very poor for quite a while, it stands out moreso this season due to the time and space players have to hit targets
hardwick even mentioned his poor disposal in this game in his press conference
i will be very surprised if he appears in the coaches votes

Maybe the hammy issues have made him reluctant to really kick through the ball?
I found the way he was used yesterday very interesting.
Only had 7 contested possessions & 19 uncontested. That is a far different ratio to Cotchy's usual output where he's winning a heap of contested ball in close.
With much of his footy won in the back half, my sense was they were trialing him in a half back type role much like Hodge was later in his career.
Maybe a sign that we are looking to open up opportunities for our other younger inside mids in Ross, Dow, RCD & Martyn as Trent enters the twilight of his career.
I guess that was why I was slightly critical of his performance because his ball use in more of an outside role wasn't all that great. Even if rusty. Can tolerate him blasting it onto the boot at the coal face in heavily contested situations (his bread & butter) but in more open play the turnovers stood out. Cotchy has been a superstar but he's at an interesting stage of his career with the changing face of the game..

I'm happy to trial him in different roles, I feel he would be better used though as a half forward / pressure forward. His manic attack on the ball would be great in our forward 50. I think we have much better kicks to use off half back.
