Trent Cotchin (Merged)

Hopefully he can get the respect he deserves leading up to his 300th. He doesn't get celebrated nearly enough, even by Tigers fans in recent times. The notion that we're carrying him to 300 is and always has been ridiculous. He's best 22 still.

Chimp still got it

(as we already knew)

I think the secret to his powers is the hair.

Great lead in game for his three hundredth.
Such a gun footballer and person for Richmond.
Best captain in my more than fifty years of watching football.

He's played heaps midfield last week and this week.

Two wins.


Hmmm.
New coach and its not development but turning back the clock.

Bump !

Plays his bloody 300th and this thread is pages back. Even though there is a bit going on with MP and the MRP and poor Bachar, this is the thread that should be top of mind this week !

Triple Premiership Captain of the biggest Club in the country. Redifined a generation of footballers not just in our team but across the league, through vulnerability and connection, key words now in building any football team.

None of that happens without the skipper sacrificing his own game to become elite at winning the hard ball and never a hair out of place !

Even now, giving his all for the Yellow and Black. Was right in the thick of it on the weekend again.

Let's get behind him and make his 300th match for the Tigers something to remember in rough times.

Trent Cotchin you are a star and a bloody inspiration ! Thanks for everything !

Let's face it, Cotch has been played out of position most of the season due to Hopper, Taranto and a fit Prestia.
 
All hail the Mighty Trent Chimpian, the Simian Tiger Champion, the equal greatest skipper in Richmond history, champion of the game, legend of the club, a leader by deed, the most ferocious Tiger I've seen, to whom we owe a vast debt for the joy he drove his mates to deliver to us. Immortal. Beloved.

Get there if you can. If you can, you must.

I thought it fitting to dig up the original Chimp Kazoo explanation. While it wasn't @wayne's first mention of Chimp Kazoo, this is the first time he explained the backstory of the name. One of the all time PRE Classics.

His mother is a zoo keeper.

The zoo had a sick chimpanzee which Trent's mother took home to care for and it used to enjoy when a young Trent played the kazoo for it.
