Trent Cotchin (Merged)

[TigerMasochist]

We carried a completely shot Sheds to 300 over more than 8 games and I am happy for the Tigers to do the same for the great Chimp.

We did and it was sad and bloody frustrating to see, as it will be if we have to carry the Cotchinator to 300. I'd rather the player and club call it, yeah / nah I'm cooked than see and hear the death of 1000 cuts the player gets put through by the commercial media and anti social media.
There's always been plenty of champion players left the game slightly short of games played milestones, if the bodies cooked then it's cooked *smile* happens.
No-one ever gets to take away or ignore the 3 flags n from my perspective they far far outweigh any other milestone for players.

He is playing better than M Rioli apart from the chase downs.

At least Moju would've caught that Swannies player that took a thirty metre prance through our midfield with Grampa Cotch shuffling along behind.

Take it easy mate . Be careful

U ungrateful person

 

[MD Jazz]

Don't understand why we don't let him win some easy ball in the backline.

 

[22nd Man]

So is it 300 and self retire or club retired?

 

[22nd Man]

Oldie said it best - Cotch won’t wanna be nursed. He’ll walk before that happens

He might not think he is being nursed. Doubt Duma will be saying we are nursing you to 300 Cothch

Before that happens he has to have a hail mary through the midfield.
Carried us through there last year.
I think they have gone over conservative saving him for the long year. Just got to use him better for a while through the middle.
If that doesn’t work then yeah exit strategy

This time last year I thought he was finished but ended playing very consistent valuable games. Hopefully the same pattern.

 

[TheCan]

I think he has 10 cracking games in him ,is he been nursed to after the bye for run into end of season.. dunno plausible thus..
Allowing hopper and taranto time to learn and gel before we get rotations happening with cotch
He isn’t that busted but definitely not going hard atm

Better than Hugo at least he'd win contested footy.

 

[The_General]

Just signed a 9 yr deal

As a leadership consultant, and club hairdresser perhaps.

 

[Tigermad2005]

Was one of our best in our only win this year. Still has plenty to offer.

Because SFs and mid-size have speed, that's how they can play there. We'd leak even more goals. See the Florent 'chase.'.

 

[leon]

Cotch may still have a bit left only as an inside mid - get ball and get it out to someone - the role Taranto plays now. I'm really keen to see him make the 300 games because he absolutely deserves that right as an all-time great of the club. If that involves some ordinary games as sub too, I'm prepared to accept it.

Hoping with 22nd Man that he has a little bit left. He gets to make the choice. But the end may be nigh.

 

[The_General]

I think he's being kept out of the middle because him trying to get a clearance, bending over full stretch, is a hamstring risk. No point him coming back and then sitting out 6 games, and missing the 300.

 

[Carter]

He might not think he is being nursed. Doubt Duma will be saying we are nursing you to 300 Cothch

he was subbed out and will know he was largely ineffective

 

[Smoking Aces]

If we have any selection integrity he can’t play in the 22 this week.

 

[Tenacious]

If we have any selection integrity he can’t play in the 22 this week.

The precedent was established last year when we basically gifted games to allow Shedda to get to his 300.
