Ha ha - that’s why I never believe anything that gets posted on here.
I tell you the odd thing about this.
Brendan Gale announced on Twitter that Cotchin was definitely going around again as Captain when I posted it.
It was a clear announcement.
Something has changed since or someone hacked his account.
I think the former

He was the key to our 2017 flag. His on-field finals impact was second only to Dusty. Off-field immeasurable.

Like Cotchin changed his mind after a few weeks off and away from the club?
 
Can't believe it.
Should've waited 1 more year.
Who's the replacement McIntosh?
No-one at the club is a better option.
Stupid decision considering we are still a chance to snag another flag.
 
Legend. One of the most important people in our club's history. Interesting to see who gets the role.

It's a big burden, he accepted it while very young (too young?) and has carried it longer than anyone in club history. I see it as a positive - the club moving forward. Let him enjoy a final season unencumbered.

Undoubtedly a future Immortal.

Best captain we’ve ever had, and this action of stepping down to guide a new captain through it underlines it. Puts the team before himself.

Richmond Icon. Changed the clubs history by changing and remarkably being himself.



Dylan & Dusty for me. Dusty VC.
Just said similar.
Whether the club thinks a younger player needs more time to develop and they go the older stop gap measure.

Wonderful leader.

Like others have said, deserves his last season to be free of the captaincy and also to be a mentor to whoever takes over.

I think Nank should be skipper, but not sure he wants to.

Thankyou Trent, said at the end of last season that I thought this would be your last as captain.

Vlastuin or Grimes will be the next captain IMO, probably Vlastuin.
