You missed his best bit of play. It was off screen, so only those at the ground could see it.Magnificent Hair has high footy IQ to impact our score at least half a dozen times in 3 quarters of footy.
The KB like rove off a contest.
The tackle to get the incorrect disposal or ball up.
The 20 to 30m pass to a teammate in space.
The chess master of the small forwards / mids movement inside and around the forward arc to get blocks for JR8 and Goat.
Would expect him to have Tross like knowledge of Oppo transition set ups and strategies.
Would not have him playing mid or expecting him to chase a great deal, rather front on close pressure yielding 1-3 personal sausages per match.
Reports into runners for on field info that relayed back to coaching staff.
Early in the fourth quarter he engaged Jake Kolodjashnij in a conversation about the war in the Ukraine. Cotchin told Kolodjashnij that the counter-offensive would begin in Bakhmut. Kolodjashnij strongly disagreed, and began a 5 minute diatribe about the strategic importance of Vuhledar. Cotchin knew this of course, but Kolodjashnij was so distracted he forgot to man up with Riewoldt and Martin both scoring goals during this critical period of the game.
He's a natural forward.
