She really can't help herself can she. It's obviously no good their little girl is unwell, but she knew the attention her post would generate. Why not just deal with the situation privately, and then if Trent needs to leave make the announcement then.
She's weaponising it IMO. I find it quite unbelievable someone would send a picture like that to tens of thousands of strangers.
The phenomena of social media and quasi-celebrity status combine to make some people lose sight of where to set boundaries.
After his game Sunday, big loss.
But have full confidence in those that are getting a run.
More opportinity in the lead up to a tough couple of months.
It all just needs to..........click at the right time and we will be unstoppable.

Seriously disgusted in some of the attitudes seeping through regarding the personal choice to put a story post on Instagram. Those story posts last 24 hours. To know it is there you actually have to either follow the person posting or go looking for the post. Young parents today often post whatever is going on in their day - it does not make them attention seeking nor a bad parent. It is simply the current reality of the world.
Children can often need to be hospitalised and as most readers on PRE would have absolutely no inside knowledge of the situation the Cotchin family find themselves in, perhaps an attitude of gratitude in getting the heads up of potentially not having our captain play this weekend along with an empathy for the family would be more in keeping with being true a Richmond Man/Woman.

This is not how some people work in this world any more
I know of someone who seems to froath at the mouth when someone in our family circle gets sick.
She just needs to post about it with an epic long statement.
But i have only just noticed these post she puts up gets the most attention and 'likes'
Makes me wonder if she really does care about the family or is it all about the attention.

Brooke Cotchin is an "influencer" and wants people to follow her - it makes her money, which is fine, but you can't claim she's doing this for a small audience of friends and family.
Not all of them. I've certainly encouraged my son not to which fortunately he's listened to.
One of my very best friends has developed what I think is the strangest behaviour. His mum, who's not been well for a while, is in and out of hospital. Three times now he has posted a pic of her, prone in a hospital bed, on Facebook asking his followers to keep her in their thoughts. Vulnerable and without her usual dignity, it comes across as a public humiliation.
I'm not really bothered by the telegraphing of the captain's likely unavailability (although I reckon some people at the club would be disappointed at the cat being out of the bag), it's the devaluing of a dependant person's privacy that I find very distasteful and totally unnecessary.
Checked the meaning of "influencer" as I had no idea what you are talking about, and is this something you know to be factual or just an assumption?
I made no claim that Brooke Cotchin was 'doing this for a small audience of family and friends' and by that I assume you mean posting an instastory which will disappear 24 hours from the time of posting. So by my understanding of the meaning of "influencer" from the definitions below I really fail to see how the instastory has anything to do with either. Rather it reminded me very much of when my daughter would post either a pic or instastory whenever she had to attend the hospital with one of my grandchildren.
