I'm loving the way they both attack the ball, Cotch hit the pack against Brisbane at full pace a few times and grabbed it with one touch but got tackled because he couldn't find an option, he gets to the drop of the ball or gets to the half volley better than anyone i've seen, when his body matures look out.
Dusty, well he also reads the ball well, but ATM is relying on his strength and aggression to get him out of trouble, which isn't a bad thing.
I think Cotchin has more naturally ability and cleaner hands, but Martin's pretty close to him with his clearance work.
Martin's disposal has a lot more penetration, more Buckley like, Cotchin's is more of your Robert Harvey type. I see Martin more than Cotchin as a goal kicking midfielder in the future.
Cotch has a good pair of hands on him when it comes to marking, and showed earlier this year that he can take a good grab. Martin hasn't really found a lot of space to take a leading grab, as he's normally at the drop of the ball. I've seen Martin take some marks at training and he has a natural soft handed mark, not sure of his leap though, his thighs are huge.
The thing that seperates them the most in my eyes is thier off field demeanour, Cotch is far more confident ATM in front of a camera, and looks a natural leader. However I really like the way Martin gets to the player on the bottom of the pack and helps him up and does those little things.
But why choose, we have them both
