If this was any other player the angst would be through the roof.
Turnover merchant atm.
Last qtr was closer to what we know the champ can do.

Give him the next 6 weeks off to work with the sculptor and absolutely NAIL his punt Rd statue. Really get it perfect.
Then play him in the prelim

Is it lack of a pre season? Injuries catching up? Changing game? Prestia missing? I don't know what it is but he's a shadow of his best as he has been for most of the season.
We got beat up again badly in the midfield today & Cotch was largely ineffective yet again. This is not a POV I'm enjoying writing.

Another reason Cotch is struggling is the game has moved dramatically. His kicking is not good enough to survive IMHO.
Probably a little bit of all of the above n then some. Certainly hasn't helped the ageing Cotchinator having a rolling combination of Prestygiocomo, Shedda, Lamblett, Nank n the Dusty one all missing at times throughout the season. Top it up with his own injuries and the load just gradually crushes any player.
Midfields been smashed all year injury wise. Back half's been smashed second half of the year and the forward half has struggled to get any sort of decent incoming ball to work with or maintain a functioning forward structure due to being sucked to far up the ground trying to support the mids.
An immortal among Richmond's legends.
Body needs a huge rest.
Give him an extended off-season and get him primed for one last surging charge for next season.

When I was a teenager we were so hungry we ate em pretty much raw
From season 2011 up to 2018 Captain Courageous played 22, 22, 22, 23, 22, 20, 25 and 22 games.
From 2019 -2021 he has played 14, 17 and 14, the warhorse has put his body on the line every game and it has taken a toll.
If we do miss the finals, the extended break will freshen him up for one last crack at it next year.

What could be more concerning us that if we do manage to go deep in finals he may not be able to get out on the ground say prelim day.
Hit the wall big time this year. Is it just a massive rest he needs or is the Cotchinator cooked? For mine, it's time to put the tired n struggling out for an extended spell with a view to next year n just throw some games into our youngsters. Cummerbund, R2D2, Not Dusty, Cujo, Raaaalphh, Naish, Millertime, Dow, even Biggie n Moju should all be played. Given the way some of our experienced n more mature players have been travelling this year, we can't go any worse.
