*smile* parrot is a fkwit.
Cotchin was cleared by 3 X footballers on the tribunal.
The was contact made while in the action of the game.
Im surprised he isn't wearing a Melbourne jumper

So Clench on Flossy last year n Tommyhawk on May were just unfortunate in play incidents, yet Cotchinator on Sheil four years ago was evil opponent assassination.
It's no wonder I rate sports journo's at about the same level as politicians. Wouldn't stop to *smile* on the bastards if they were on fire in the street.

And there are a few things about the Cotchin Shiel collision that they never mention. When Shiel got up after it, he immediately grabbed at his shoulder, not his head. He was checked, came back on and played very well. He was collected by Astbury and that’s when he was assessed as concussed.

Is Cotch's time near? Looks too slow against good opposition. Thought he's been found out a bit this year.

Cotch, Lynch, Huoli all past it.

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

Move him to a half back flank.

 

[King Kong]

Cotch, Lynch, Huoli all past it.

Only 4 more years of Lynch poetry in slow motion to go after this one. He”ll need a *smile* zimmer frame to get around by then the way he is going.

Slow hands and slow brain too. Took a couple of nice marks early but was badly exposed.

For those at the game, was Cotch tagged?

Seemed to go quite for large parts of the game.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Captain Crunch appears to be struggling at the moment.

Cooked

 

[Tigers2011]

Looks slow. Will be interesting to see how the season plays out for him

 

[TigerForce]

Definitely his last along with Bash, and maybe Astbury.

 

[btoz_01]

If he’s carrying an injury should take off to get himself right
if he isn’t carrying an injury he should contemplate life after footy and retire at seasons end

 

[Punt n Brunton]

I watched him at the game tonight. He's struggling to get to contests. Is very much a burst player now, where he gives his all in one contest, and then goes missing. Can't give repeat efforts, and has lost ability to run and spread and be an offensive option. It's really hurting us against teams that spread from the contest well like Melbourne did tonight.

Can Cotch play more as a permanent small forward? Might suit his burst style. He does have clean hands and can still create opportunities. The Rioli/Castagna/Aarts combo isn't working, so time to try something different. Maybe Cotch can play a role there and we try RCD in the midfield.

If you follow him on Twitter.
He was everywhere today.
At the Gym, at the shops with the kids.
Shouldnt the captain spend the afternoon preparing for the game?
He looked spent tonight.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I've said he's been struggling. Again tonight was poor. They're limiting his minutes but he's really battling to impact the game. Can he work into the season or have we seen his best?

I feel the latter. I think this could easily be his last year, despite his public words to the contrary. Really battled.

 

[Smoking Aces]

The end is coming.

Saw the same and despite us being 2 down he sat on the pine for a lot of the game (think it was about 68% tog). I don't think our interchanges changed in the last 10 minutes or so.

I've been thinking the same as him as a half forward / small forward. He's damn good when the ball hits the ground and his tackling pressure and hurt factor will worry half backs. We could also use him as a run with if someone like Salem got off the chain again.

Feel his time in the middle is coming to an end and I don't think he's a good enough kick to move to half back.

No surprise that he is increasing his thespian credentials
