At the end of their respective careers, Cotchin >>>>>>>>>> J. Selwood

[Flawed Genius]

Tigers fans have got themselves something extremely special in Trent Cotchin.

Without a pre-season, coming off a broken ankle, in his first year of AFL football, he shows more poise and talent than a lot of players on a lot of lists.

This is vs Marc Murphy, son of a champion..

This is not to say that Selwood is going to be a crap player, far from it - nobody wins a NAB Rising star without being very good, but Cotchin will be more highly rated than Selwood when they're both retired.

1) Your avatar speaks more about your idea than your words

2) If you don't stop quoting me in your signature, I'll come around and become your imaginary friend and make you do shyte you don't want to do

3) Selwood will nuke Cotchin over the journey and you know it

Sure. I'll just punch myself in the head a couple hundred times.

Nope. Cotchin, with a full pre-season & 100% fit - dangerous.

When Cotchin proves he can match it in close with the best midfielders in the AFL then come see us

And the "Rising NOSTRADAMIS award" goes to Flawed Genius.

 

[Hodgepodge]

I agree that he will be, but selwood for now anyway.

And you would agree because????

Oh yeah because Selwood plays for Geelong...

Well Im backing that Cotchin will overtake Hodge....Selwood proved on Friday he can play on the big stage, something Hodge hasn't done

I don't have anything against Geelong, and joel selwood was awesome friday night, just think cotchin will be better.

 

[candiehappy]

what's amusing about this thread is that the OP couldn't come up with a norf player to put up against Selwood, or any Geelong player.

Loser.

Nope, Selwood is better than a lot players on North's list.
Brent Harvey & a few others may be the exclusion to that, and there are certainly better players than Cotchin in both Geelong and North's lists.

For this particular thread, I am comparing Trent Cotchin (Richmond) & Joel Selwood (Geelong).

No mention of North players at all. I love watching Cotchin play.

Be like comparing Ablett Jr to Voss.

Talking about potential is useless. What if he never does a proper preseason and keeps getting injured? Fact is Selwood HAS the runs on the board, and Cotchin, while promising has done nothing to suggest he will be great.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Potential is the word, he might never fulfill it, but all indications are that he will. If he does it's cotchin>selwood, but both are guns, don't get on here and tell me that hodge is shit lol

Hmmm

"don't have anything against Geelong"

are you sure about that?

You forget, Cotchin plays for Richmond. And as much as I like them, they are the eternal also-rans... and sadly, they will be again. Their curse is that their senior players will not last the journey needed to play with their "up and comers" and hence will not make that much needed mixture of experience and youth to win a premiership.... Carlton or Essendon will take their place ahead of Richmond. Hence Cotchin will take his place amongst the Weightmans, the Naish's and the Campbells of Tiger lore... good players, but no cigar.

Meanwhile, Joel Selwood might well be a dual premiership player having just played 2 seasons.... who last did that?

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Well, those videos have me convinced

Doesn't make him a better player, just means he played in a better team.

No. If Shannon Byrnes plays in a premiership team this year (yes, I said "if", not putting it "in the bag") then your argument would hold true.

Selwood could actually win the Brownlow this year. Ablett does not poll well because umps have long memories, and Ablett was a habitual whinger to umpires up until 2007 (and before everyone vents on that, this is the exact reason why Wayne Carey never won a Brownlow). Jimmy B could poll well, but his disposal has been below par this year, whilst Selwood has been superb week in week out.

If you've seen both Cotchin and Selwood every game this year, I'll bow to your greater knowledge... but I've seen every game Selwood's played, and more than 1/2 of Cotchin's... and Selwood has him covered... totally

 

[hoss]

Cotchin will be so much better. Selwood is an overrated front runner.
