Thank you Carlton Football Club for selecting Kruezer. Always wanted Cotchin pre that draft, we needed gun onballers and boy what a gun he is. Kruezer is a good big man and will be a very good player but you'd think the blues midfield would be almost unstoppable if they had chosen Cotch instead of Kruezer. TRENT COTCHIN...YOU'RE A STAR!

 

[Rustof]

Love. You. Trent.

...Full homo.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Give this guy the captaincy already.

Head and shoulders above the rest of the side on a regular basis.

 

[Wood_Duck]

He's a serious gun. One of the best individual performances of the season tonight.

Starting to be a splitting image of GAJ... absolute superstar of the game already... serious love for him even as a non-richmind supporter .

Very similar in how they shrug off tackles and can kick a goal too

 

[Big Bryza]

Wow, I love my footy but this bloke takes the enjoyment of watching footy to another level. He's just an out and star. Scary thing is he's only 22. A few full pre seasons under his belt and he'll be the best player in the game by the the times he's 25.

Cotchin is sublime. I have no words. He does so much work and he does it so well, so cleanly. He's amazing. I love him.

That handball on the wing that led to the Vickery goal Two on him and he stands up in the tackle and nails a team mate 5 metres in the clear => Vickery kicks the crucial goal.

Next centre bounce he wins another clearance, this time a quick kick forward. The result: another goal and a decisive break.


I always wondered what it would be like to see Gary Ablett kick the thing rather than handball. I now know.


Thread needs to be stickied.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Thread is a bit sticky tbh Barry.

 

[Torz]

Will win a brownlow, no doubt.

LMFAO!! Absolutely took the words right outta my mouth. Just spat my drink all over the keyboard.

Trent Cotchin is now elite

Cotchin is sublime. I have no words. He does so much work and he does it so well, so cleanly. He's amazing. I love him.

Sublime is a fair call...love Cotch's super quick disposals...quick thinking......

And those kicks he manages to do so quickly and effectively in pack situations...

He drops the ball to his foot fast with his hands...so as to reduce the time between ball drop and foot so as to complete the kick and avoid being tackled...

I think i have only seen Cousins do that a few times...

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

shut up! shut up!
aww its too late its out, we gots a genius

 

[Jedstar]

Truly amazing player. Will be just about the best in the comp by this or next season's end. Easily my favourite non-Hawthorn player. Just fantastic to watch.

 

[Cotchin 9]

Where's the Brett Deledio thread?

 

[The_Eagles]

He reminds me of those world class athletes like nadal lebron slater in the way they move, like wild animals in nature

 

[Greggy]

How he can run through a pack at speed with his hands at his feet is mind blowing, chimp like dexterity.

HAHAHAHAAHaaa...Hey...........

The Tigers have been ridiculed for some previous drafting but they got this 100% right, his balance is unbelievable and I'd be surprised if he's not rated as a top 5 player in the game by the end of the year.

Mike Sheahan in his pre season top 50 , predicted he'd be the 32nd best player in the AFL this year .

 

[Heisenberg_]

He just plays footy how it is meant to be played and is a great representative of the footy club off the field as well.
He is just the perfect person

Just love how hard he runs to provide another option as soon as he passes the ball off.

 

[Watson_my_mind]

Very impressed not just with your drafting of Cotchin and Martin, but your clubs development of them as well.

Cotchin and Martin running around in 3 years will be like Gary Ablett and Ben Cousins in the same midfield, freakish

 

[fpm84]

Absolute superstar, seems like a real gentleman and easily one of my favorite non-Cats.

Congrats on last night!
