Swan is criminally overrated.
I reckon his average disposal length would be about 35cm.

So you think Cotchin would be a better player if he pushed up into the goalsquare and got some easy goals working over some midfielder who has been forced to stick on him? Nah, Cotchin does his best work in the middle, evaluate his performances there.
I also find it interesting that Cotchin has shown the ability to shake tags yet that doesn't count, yet even though Dangerfield has struggled a bit with tags, because he kicks goals, he's not criticised. This is the analysis of people who watch highlights and look at stats, not people who actually understand football.

Cotchin is not overrated.
He's not better than Pendles nor is he close to Ablett, don't think anyone is really.
Pendlebury missed 5 games in the middle of the year due to his leg injury, so even though it was possibly in jest, that argument sucks.
Cotch is a gun.

That's because Swan isn't a criminal.

Are you taking the piss? I'm not directly responding to your thread, I'm responding to your swipe at Richmond supporters defending Cotchin and how you're asking for feedback on an unpopular opinion then wondering why you don't have 100% backing from everyone.

What did you expect after setting up this troll thread to get this exact response?

id take Cotchin over Pendlebury and swan any day of the week.
Pendlebury is a very smoth player with silky skill, & swan has good skills as well, but are greatly over rated, they are possession accumulators, buy shot kicks and hand balls back and forth to team mates.
Cotchin can have half the touches yet seill have a greater influence on the game

He's down a bit on last year, particularly since injuring his knee against Freo. So if you're comparing him to his rating of last year, when he was the consensus best player in the game, then yes, he is overrated. If you're comparing him against a rating of a very very good player, then no, he's not.
it's very easy to look at the stats and ignore everything else

And conversely underrated in 2010. Brownlow votes reflect how someone is "rated" far more than most other awards

It's Time!
He will get better as the year goes on.
Cotchin is a superstar!
Cotchin is a superstar!
Even the best players have form patches.
Last year there was a stage where Cotchin was near unstoppable.
This year he's back down to mortal level. Same thing for Dangerfield who's found form after a quiet start. It happens to Pendlebury. Even Selwood who is having a huge start to the year at some stages of the past few years has had up and down periods you just don't notice because the rest of the Geelong team keep the winning going!
I'd also like to look at the captaincy effect. Stats guru's want to look at Watson and Selwood and see if they took a little hit when they first took over.

Bit generous on Swan......you wanna watch a bloke run around and get cheap possessions and butcher the footy.
Keep your money in your pocket son, or just go to watch Pendlebury
