Player Watch #9: Trent Cotchin is an obscenely good 3 x Premiership Captain, Victorian Captain & Brownlow Medalist

Great to have him back, his attack on the ball is 2nd to none and he is massively important to our midfield.

I think he plays against the Lions next week given we have a 6 day break, the following game against Port is probably the one he will miss with a 4 day break before the trip to Adelaide.
Only played 65% of game time tonight (of an already shortened format) too, I think you're right about the Lions

His attack on the ball was ferocious but he lacked a step IMO and I even thought he looked a bit thick around the middle compared to his usual self. Wouldn't be surprised if he's carrying an extra 2-3 kilos than he was before the injury. All understandable given the circumstances.

Who hasn’t put on a few kg’s when on the Gold Coast with the footy team ?
 
Disappointing to see that his wife is the focus of the protocol breach at the hub having gone to a beauty salon then returning to the hub. Should pay any fine out if their pockets.
 
This campaigner is an absolute menace out there when the balls in dispute 😳😳

hes a human missile on the footy field

you see the ball in dispute with 6 or 7 guys around it and then some campaigner just streams into the picture with his arm tucked in trying to absolutely lay someone out

It was Cotch’s wife was it? Man was really hoping it wasn’t.

I love the Cotchin’s but you’re right they should pay the fine.

On a brighter note good to see the skip back out there. Still a bit rusty but hopefully he gets his touch back sooner rather than later, still had a good game though. He’s had a good year for the most part.

Yeah not sure why she would do that. Pretty dumb.

Gonna cost the club $50k.
Stevo reported on 7 that fines are going to be at the minor end of the scale if they are issued and that it may just end up being a stern warning that they're on egg shells

Honestly not sure how I feel about that. I just know if it were the wife of another club’s skipper I probably would be reacting worse than I am now. I know she’s not the only one under investigation but she (and any others that break covid restrictions) could have put the whole competition in jeopardy and as the wife of a clubs captain she probably should have known better.

I don’t want to seem like I’m having a go at anyone though, she made a mistake, it happens, hopefully it doesn’t happen again.

They should send her home tbh. Glad they aren’t because we are now in form and ready to rumble.
