Preview 2019 Round 22 - Richmond vs West Coast, Sunday 18th of August @ MCG, 1:10pm

It sucks about Cotchin.

This is actually the first time it’s dawned on me that Cotchin is getting older and probably doesn’t have long left in his career, this makes me really sad.

Hopefully we can make him a 2x premiership captain before he retires. He deserves it, being with us and captaining us through the good times and the bad times.

 

[Coach_Required]

No loss when we haven't had him for half the year anyway.

Richmond losses with Cotchin = 4 from 10
Richmond losses without Cotchin = 2 from 10

Take your time Cotch, no rush.

We have Ross back now, so it doesnt hurt as as much.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Where have you heard this? Daniel I think is definitely on the chopping block but with Cotchin a confirmed out can’t see them making wholesale changes.

If you heard it from here then Shazza_ and biaseddustyfan are always trolling with the Rioli (or Mia or Fevola depending on their mood) out talk.

Having said that I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if our Rioli is omitted he wasn’t great against Carlton.

Not even close.

 

[joelsyt]

Not even close.

I agree with you. I personally think he’ll play, I just said I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t.

play him forward will play for 5 more years easy. imagine that

As exciting as Ross is (based on potential), he is no where near the level Cotchin produces. This includes work off the ball and the hunt to get it.

It's a bit concerning for Cotch considering these are must win games for us to hold a top 4 spot.

Really nervous for this one, as I rate WC highly. Need to bring immense pressure and be on the whole day.

Outs: Chol, Baker
Ins - Soldo, Martin

I'm really on the fence with Chol vs Soldo. I think Chol has a bit of an X factor. However, in finals like pressure, he might crumble. Baker was always a better pressure forward than defender.
Also Bolton should be on notice this game after last week, if it happens again I reckon he will be the one left out for Cotch the following week.

 

[Shazza_]

ross has probably passed cotchin already as a mid

 

[Bazzar]

Reading between the lines then Cotchin will be given another week and Martin will come back and play.

Sucks about Cotchin but we need him for finals.

Stevo's just being melodramatic as usual.

Yeah saw it on the AFL website as a possible out then thought it was confirmed above. Not familiar with the nuances of this board but it seems you have some regular haters like we do on our board. Hope he stays in.

 

[HTT]

Full strength midfield minus Cotch is ok. Still got Dusty and Prestia plus shedda, lambo, Ross and graham.

[joelsyt]

I hope so, because the day he retires it’ll be full on ugly crying from my way, I’ll be inconsolable so the longer we can put off his retirement the better imo!

2017 Graham was first named as emergency in r21 and debuted in r22, fast forward to 2019, Pickett first named as emergency in r21.
History should repeat.

You don't prolong careers by playing blokes forward. Half back. See Matty Boyd. Cotch would be AA.

Said this earlier in thread.
Cotchin Halfback for Baker

 

[TigerTime88]

Cotchin becoming a really big concern. Wanted to see him have to hit outs before finals to test the hammy.

Perhaps we're playing it super safe while also allowing Pickett a chance to show his ability before it's too late.

I'll be the same...Cotch is irreplaceable in my book!

 

[Coach_Required]

I honestly believe Dimma thinks we have a half back role still available in the team, he wants to use Stack up forward & in the centre instead of where he was playing earlier in the year.
It's why I think they might just give Pickett his shot.

 

[peternorth]

Had a dream Robbie Powell kicked two goals for us in a victory against west coast.

 

[cairo tiger]

is cotch cooked? seriously must be doubtful now for the rest of the year. do we bring in mad dog townsend?

The Club expects Cotchin to be available to take on the Brisbane Lions in Round 23.
