Danger the better athlete. Cotchin the better footballer. Danger consistent. Cotchin inconsistent. Danger Brownlow medalist. Cotchin Brownlow Medalist* & Premiership Captain. Give me Cotch everyday of the week.
Dangerfield vs. Cotchin, who will be the better player in 2012 and beyond?

He looked like he'd be one of the best in the game early on in his career.

Unfortunately for the football purist, his development as a player took a backseat to his role as captain. In retrospect, and by his own admission, he took things too seriously and tried to do too much.
He's still a handy Premiership Captain though.
Went to another level this season and beast mode in the finals where reputations are made(and ruined)- still one of the better mids going around in the league

Wouldn't trade Cotchin for Dangerfield TBH. One is a leader, the other is not. One is about the team, the other is not. One is a premiership captain, the other is not.
The thread is about playing ability.

And I rate Cotchin higher than Dangerfield. Cotch does the team things. Dangerfield tries to get the votes.

That's why two of them have premierships and two don't?
Shannon Byrnes won two flags and Richo won nil. Who was better?

Not the same argument, as the gulf in talent isn't as big.
Cotchin kept to under 20 possessions 3 times this year out of 8.... Top 3 player for sure

It is exactly the same argument.
Anyway, you guys won the flag, be happy with that because your man is not ahead of Danger as a player.

As a player, you'd take Dangerfield 9.98 times out of 10.
Knowing what you know about them now though, if you were building a team from scratch and had to pick between them I think that 5 times out of 10 I would take Trent.
There are a lot of intangibles in football, with leadership being the biggest. I truly believe that it was the leadership of Trent & Damien last year that got a pretty good side to win the flag.
In the same approach, I would be split on taking Trent or Dusty first based on their ability to get the most out of other players.

Okay, I'll bite. Which two have Premierships and which two don't?
Do you recall what was said about that so called leadership before halfway through last year? It was constantly questioned, his misses even had to rant to the football community about leaving him alone.
Absolutely. If you are lacking leadership, Cotchin. Otherwise, Dangerfield.
