Player Watch #9: Trent Cotchin is an obscenely good 3 x Premiership Captain, Victorian Captain & Brownlow Medalist

As I said before, Trent is shaping as one of the greatest players in the history of the Richmond Football Club.
18 contested possessions, only 4 turnovers.
I think with his 3 premierships as captain and his influence on our change of culture the only person who comes close IMO (and I never seen him play) is Jack Dyer.

This man has to become a 300 game player

I dont give a feck if we have to carry him there on our backs , We just cannot allow such a great of this club to fall short after all he has done and still doing.

He was massive tonight

He should have a statue

It amazes me that the narrative of the media during recent Richmond games has all been "will they go on, or won't they", when referring to Cotch and Jack at 32 and 33 respectively. Yet there's none of the same gobshyte during Geelong games about Selwood and Hawkins, despite the fact they're both 34 and in at least. I'm tipping Cotchin will be far higher placed in his B&F than Selwood for starters.
 

The Tackle: Mark Robinson’s likes and dislikes from round 21 of the 2022 AFL season​

In a week Mick Malthouse put a line through his name, Tigers’ great Trent Cotchin responded with his best game of the season. He’s on track for 300 games, Mark Robinson writes.

Mick should retire more players​

Don’t ever tell us a) players don’t read the newspapers and b) they are not stung by criticism. Trent Cotchin is an iconic Tiger and for him to be told that he should retire by Mick Malthouse was a slap to the face that probably/maybe jolted the former skipper ahead of Saturday night. This line from Malthouse was most pointed: “He has slowed up considerably, and is easily frustrated and undisciplined.’’ Cotchin responded with his best game of the season, turning back the clock to gather 29 disposals. He was in the thick of everything against Port and proved, if he even had to, that season No.16 and 300 games will welcome him with open arms. The Tigers have to stagger their retirements and father time hasn’t got Cotchin just yet.
