For me, the story is the same as the team today. I like what I saw but I want to see it in a game against good opposition.
Doesn't surprise me Cotchin is a good player still, I want to know if he is still a great one.
All hail Chimp. Bow down peasants.Anyone still posting about The Chimp's decline as a footballer? There have been plenty on here doing so recently....
That's what happens who you write Champions off.....they inevitably prove you wrong.
BTW how good was he was showing off one of his great underrated strengths today - bringing a teammate into the right space by foot.

Maybe so Ezy, but that's where I sit.
Does it surprise me that Cotchin can dominate GWS? Not at all.
Can he still do it against Melbourne, the Bulldogs or even Carlton? Not so sure. Hope so but not sure.
This has to be his main job at the club now. If our burgeoning mids become half the player Cotch is, they will be more than OKChimp does as champs do.
It's a massive privilege to have a player of his quality there to teach and lead by example for our next generation of midfielders.
