Broken arse ? Geez how many more injuries can we get.
He did, along with everybody else.
The problem is we already have too many turtles in the midfield.
So where is he going to play?
Dimma talked about him playing forward this year, can’t see that working.
Lack of leg speed equals no forward pressure.
He needs to be managed this year and be given less game time.
Not a forward in this modern game of ours. Does not have the legs to play mid.
Geelong's Selwood model of 2022 should be they way to go for the rest of the year.

I won't be surprised to see him rested this week with Hopper back in. He tried his heart out but that's taking a toll.
We got smashed in turnovers coming out of defense. 28 - Huge number.
Leysy knows one way that would fix it...
Leysy knows one way that would fix it...
The problem is that many of his/our opponents are quick! They can beat him to the ball or run away from him with it ... and he has no hope of catching them in open play.
His role has to be revised; can only play inside mid I reckon. Would get caught down back and his disposal is not damaging enough. Still love and respect him forever.
But we look slow and too many sloppy kickers.
He is in big trouble. Lack of speed in today's game I'm sorry to say its a career ender.
Its not Cotchins fault but diving on the ball won't cut it.
He was responsible for 2 goals on Friday that werw caused by lack of speed. Crisp running away from him after Cotchin was only 3-4 metres away from him and then he couldn't get anywhere near McQuerrry.
I think Hardwick gets him to 300 and then they need to reassess what role he plays for the rest of the season.
I would *smile* off McQualter and give the job to Cotchin to work with the kids.
I'm sorry kids but I cannot find a position he could possibly play that could prolong his career.
I thought he was one of the few who was clean in the contest.. attack on the ball never an issue…..the biggest issue for the champ is the spread. Gets slaughtered once the ball gets out .. just can’t go with the young bucks anymore.
Everyone loves the Skip so let's put that to one side.
As hard as he tried on Friday, like Riewoldt it's getting closer.
With Hopper back next week, if it comes down to Sonsie or Cotch then which way do you go?
Not an easy situation.

Uh oh. Sounds like a bunch of bitter, petty Essendon supporters are up in arms.

Triple AFL Premiership winning captain Trent Cotchin is at the centre of a school uniform war after parents were forced to order socks only from his company.
Parents’ eyebrows were raised after the edict was announced at St Therese’s School in Essendon.
Trent and his wife Brooke founded Posisocks, which designs socks with positive messages on them like “I am enough”.
But parents are questioning who approached who to make the deal and why they were being asked to support the business of a multi-millionaire footballer.

All other uniform items – which is strictly imposed by the catholic primary school – are bought from a single supplier with anything bought from Kmart or Big W strictly prohibited.
A mother said: “It would be good to know who suggested this deal to who – is the school making any money from the partnership or are parents just being asked to support a millionaire footballer and his side project?”
Posisocks have positive messages on them like ‘it’s cool to be kind’. Picture: Posisocks website
“The school is very strict on uniforms, nothing can be from any other shop, which makes this all the more bizarre,” she said.
“The messaging on the socks are also mainly on the top of the foot, so no one else sees the words anyway. It’s all just very odd that it’s a demand, not an option.”
The socks costs $9.50 per pair, with parents also being slugged additional shipping costs if they don’t spend more than $60.

St Therese's Primary School Essendon has a strict uniform policy that prohibits items from Kmart or Big W.
A father, whose children attend the school, said a lot of parents felt it was an “odd requirement” being told they had to buy socks from a separate company to the one that provides the school uniform.
“The socks have all these motivational sayings on them, which is a bit much. It all feels a bit woke,” he said
“It doesn’t feel right being forced to order these special socks from this specific company.”
St Therese’s Principal Michael Di Nuzzo said they had carried out consultation when developing the school’s uniform policy – and anyone with concerns should approach him.
“The policy takes into account price point, quality, and providing uniformity across the school,” Mr Di Nuzzo said.
“We also have processes in place to support any family who may be facing financial difficulties.
“We aim to work in partnership with families and are always open to feedback.
“I encourage any concerns with the uniform policy to be raised with me or through the school advisory council.”
Mr Di Nuzzo said the school socks include a “positive message, developed by the students, and connected to the school’s core values, aimed at providing a reminder for the students each morning”.
St Therese’s School in Essendon’s uniform policy states that students can only wear school socks purchased via the Posisocks website.
“Our school socks are purchased via Posisocks,” it says.
“This is a part of an ongoing mindfulness initiative between St Therese’s and Posisocks.
“These socks are to be worn with both the normal uniform and the PE uniform. You can purchase your school socks for home delivery via their website:”
Everything else is supplied by another company, Noone Imagewear.
“Uniform items must be purchased from Noone. This is to ensure that there is consistency across the school in terms of matching uniform and the presence of school logos on clothing – ie, blue shirts, trackpants, shorts, etc. purchased from Target, Kmart, Big W etc. are not accepted as school uniform.”
Posisocks was contacted for comment but didn’t respond by deadline.
