Thank you Trent. Bloody legend. Can't wait for the standing ovation when you come off in the last few minutes of the last quarter, victorious again.

Whateley trying to walk both Cotch and Jack out of Punt Road while Hawkins can play till he is 293.

Still brings a tear to my eye 2017. Not sure if this has already been posted, probably has but how great to watch this.

Forgot how fast he was

It's a really decent website, with writers who clearly appreciate the game for what it is. Pretty much the only match reviews I take any notice of nowadays.

Is it worth being a member

I met a current player (midfielder) at a function a couple of years ago and had a chat about footy for 10mins or so. He didn't know I was a Tigers supporter but said Cotchin is the biggest dog in the AFL.
I think it's just cos he plays the game so hard. Like you say Mr nice guy off the field.

Who was the player
Is he bald
Does he have a brother who is also bald

Great interview/ story

Great interview/ story

Not a bad property either.

What a career for the great man!

There's a few standout moments:

• Some of the goals he kicked circa 2014/2015 eg. against the swans lying on the deck getting tackled and slams it through. The soccer through against west coast at a ridiculous angle was also a treat
• absolutely crazy finals series in 2017. The left foot goal against Geelong was unreal.
• 2019 prelim against the cats, the pressure on Stanley in the middle to get the ball forward for a Lynch goal.
• 2019 Grand Final - his goal on the run and celebration I feel represented how we all felt.
• His 2022 season I feel was underrated a little, average disposals went higher than it had been for years and had plenty of impact.
• Last weekend - against Freo he was back to his best. Clean out of the center, every kick feels damaging again. Absolutely love it.

Well done Cotchy! Go well in game 300

I'm not actually a member guru, just read the free ones. Tight arse.

Greatest captain we’ve had in my time. Absolute legend and inspiring leader and human being. Congratulations on 300 games and for being a one club player.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

I implore everyone to watch the interview with Cotch on our website. Grab a tissue. It will give you goosebumps. Our club media nailed it this time. ❤

 

[tunksy]

an absolute champ. nothing would make me happier than watching him play like he did last week and play on as a mid.

hope like hell we get the win

 

[Cotchin 9]

I love him

 

[smasha]

A class act,a champion,loyal to the mighty yellow and black.
Congrats Trent on 300 Tigerriffic games for the mightiest club on this planet,RICHMOND!

All good,,,I like roar and the inner sanctum

 

[lllscroatlll]

this man is an inspiration

his contribution to forging our current culture has been phenomenal

we have been blessed with some pretty good captains in our history, cotch is right up there and in my mind we don't do the dynasty without him

time goes so fast

love ya cap best wishes on the 300

Perfect hair will need to pull out another beauty this week too. He's well capable of causing Lyon and the Aints misery aplenty in the milestone match.

 

[richoplzbreed]

With all the ticket offers I'm getting bombarded with via text and email even though I booked ages ago they must be expecting a lousy turnout. 30k against Port was putrid with no atmosphere. Surely now we're showing something and with Cotchins 300 against a Vic team surely 60k turn up? Probably only 50k will though I reckon.

'Smelling the roses': No retirement thoughts for Tigers' 300-game hero

Richmond triple-premiership captain Trent Cotchin says he still possesses the inner willingness to compete as he prepares for his 300th AFL game

www.afl.com.au

Cotchin should absolutely play again next year, his drop in form this year was purley on the back of positional change. Besides Sonsie & Dow haven't developed fast enough to lose someone like Cotch. All the best for his 300th, Go Tiges

["The Roar Is Back"]

His openness on showing compassion , vulnerability and empathy toward others has not only completely changed the way sporting organisations operate , but the impact it has on the general public is profound albeit immeasurable .
Takes some big balls, courage and severe toughness to go against the trend , particularly the ruthless hard arsed profile which was expected of captains at that time .
