Analysis Best captain moving forward..

[Joey longshadow]

The only other candidate for the job is Deledio. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

Seriously Jack and Rance are no where near captaincy material. Good leaders in some areas but severely lacking in others, whilst the weight of captaincy would have a much greater effect on them than it does for Cotchin or would for Deledio.

Think a fair few were saying similar things about Taylor Walker ...that's turned out okay

Captains don't jump back fences or sook on the field. I love his passion but he's no captain.

Missed this whole season did you?

 

[TigerImposter]

Genuinely interested in everyone's thoughts..
I reckon give it to Jack and let Cotchin just play..

You're thread title suggests we be need to be moving forward to get The best captain
Since we haven't moved anywhere in three years then Cotchin doesn't movelol

 

[RememberRoyce]

Dusty.

Get around him boys!

Someone prepared to wear #17 would be a good start.

More importantly someone who can live up to it.

Every young player should be looking at that number and thinking that's what it means to play for Richmond.

To old school thinking for me, they wanted to creat a new culture and succeeded IMO.

Leave it to Cotch, unless he actually steps down himself which would be disappointing, in which case Lids is next in line for me

 

[smasha]

Cotchin for mine.
Had one bad game in the final when Norf put half a team on him.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Cotch for me to hold da cup.

According to all reports it was Cotchin's decision to not wear #17.

Nothing to do with the club or changing culture. #17 is the legacy of Jack Dyer - who our B&F is still named after.

But Cotchin got it right - he's no Captain Blood.

Not at all.
Did you see the way he carried on after Houli's kick in? It's in his dna and it still comes out now and then.

Cotch until Floss is ready

Shows passion. Would make a great captain IMO.

Still rubbish article from Robbo and therefore rubbish thread.

It's Cotchins job until he dosent want it or a standout and I mean absolute standout candidate put their hand up. He's come along way in the three years he's had the job from a leadership perspective, he'll even floggo was pumping him up about showing a bit of s**t in his game earlier in the year by roughing up opposition.

We were weak as piss in how not one person stuck up and gave Cotch a chop out in that EF. Hopefully we have learnt from that, hopefully Townsends main objective is to serve and protect our mids.

Did you see how he played in the final? Did you see how every single game he tried his heart out? Do you see how he handles himself in interviews? How he talks to the players? How he leads by example?
He would be a brilliant captain.

This thread is resembling

#9: Trent Cotchin is an obscenely good footballer

Did I see did I see did I see did I see...yes mate. I saw. And I have a different opinion to you. Get over it.

 

[Tiggytigers]

Riewoldt would thrive off being captain. Cotchin isn't a natural leader, just watch the chosen few doco....

 

[Tiggytigers]

Jack is the best player at lifting the team, he does that by his emotions. When jack is up and about and gets goals and starts getting excited and celebrating the team then starts to lift and play better

 

[Roachy8]

Voted for Rwnce - seems like a quality individual.

 

[Tigers69]

If, and only if, Cotch steps aside then a bit left field but dual captaincy for a couple of years between Chaplin and B Ellis.

Chaplin is an experienced old head who is general of the backline while B Ellis would have a more natural affiliation with our younger group and absolutely leads by example in fitness, training and attacking the pill.

After 2 years Ellis takes over sole captaincy.

 

[Tango67]

ELLIS........WTF
Biggest downhill skier in the side, runs all day but won't get a hard ball and disposal is average
He gets plenty of it because of his fitness but don't see him being an inspirational leader

 

[tiggywigs]

Interesting moment in the club's history.
I'm a huge Cotchin fan, but he has gone missing at the pointy end.
And Jack does have that 'follow me' kind of energy.
Cotchin's star is very much hitched to Dimma's wagon.
Doubt that Dimma would ditch Cotchin as captain - that would undercut Dimma's emphasis on loyalty.
It would also undermine Dimma's judgment in choosing Cotchin in the first place.
And even if Cotchin pulled the pin, I couldn't see Jack getting the gig.
Dimma's already made it clear he considers Jack a loose cannon.
On the other hand, if Dimma was to get the flick....

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Really surprised nobody has backed mighty Maric... he is a true leader who leads by example. Maric has also been instrumental in lifting the players standards since joining the club... tough as nails and cool under pressure, Maric would absorb the pressure that consumes his younger contemporaries.

In saying all that I think Cotch will improve every year and should remain as captain.

Losing hurts for sone
