Deserved to go again, but I could understand the decision either way
Not many 3 time premiership captains in the history of the game
Thanks Cotch, hope this decision can help extend your career and get you to 300

 

[Tigers Time]

End of an era. ******* legend.

 

[ImaBeliever!]

What a Captain! Right up there with our best. Thankfully we haven’t lost his leadership just yet.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Will always be the skip in my eyes

[Sir_Loin]

My youngest has just turned 9.
I remember I wanted to name him Cotch.
He was flying in his Brownlow year of 2012. Thought this is a player we can build a team around.
But been so much better as a Captain than I could have expected.
Copped a lot in his first few years as leader but stuck to it and stuck it up them all.
Great man.

Well done on your captaincy Cotch, been an absolute rock for us and deserves nothing but praise and admiration

 

[brett15]

Amazing bloke and captain, here's to him helping our next in line win our 14 flag

[Sir_Loin]

Dave Astbury was lucky he didn’t get rubbed out

 

[Sir_Loin]

that was the best

Dave Astbury was lucky he didn’t get rubbed out

concussions can be cumulative

Sad news
But not surprised
Last year of his contract next year
Can mentor our next skipper in his last year so he can continue when cotch finishes up next year

Id love to see Dusty take over. If we want to stay hungry and in flag mode I think he would leave no stone unturned to become the goat if they gave him the captaincy. He’d want a flag as skipper so if that’s our aim id go for that. If we’re thinking the future I can see vlastuin taking over but would love Nank out of that age bracket. Don’t ride off lynch as skipper too. Would be unpopular from an outside perspective but from the players side of things at Richmond they absolutely love him and he has done it at the infants in gold coast land where he actually played his best footy as skipper. If we’re looking completely at rebuilding we’ll see a Graham take over and grow into the role. But if we do that Id be surprised. Think the club know we’re still in a window for 2 years and we’ll need someone to inspire that from the top and Dusty would be perfect imo

When I first saw the article I thought he’d hung up the boots and was so devo. Glad it’s just passing the baton, hope it extends his career. But might be an indication he’ll only go 1 more year

Didn’t this one cause some salty tears
