Should have done a wayne campbell ans retire at 297. When your time is up your time is up.
Prediction How will Cotchin's career pan out for remainder of 2023?

Who is he keeping out of the team? No one is bashing the door down.
We play too many slow mids who are resting in the forwardline. We need to bring back speed in the team. Definitely should be playing an extra fast small.
Agree with that. But you have to have guys banging the door down, which we don't.
Fair enough. Hes lucky hopper is injured because thats his position. Graham is also borderline.
Yeah Graham isn't offering any more than Cotchin is this year.

I doubt the club or Cotch care. It’s just people on here carrying on about it

Sending Jack and Cotch off will be a sad day.
Cotchin is not holding any younger player out of the position he is playing
14 touches on 64% game time he is still getting enough of the ball to keep his spot
Only thing he is holding up is development of the younger players but they have to earn that spot first and currently its Sonsie's spot to take of cotchin and he has not done that

I tell ya what id love to see him play a few VFL games in the 2nd half of the season. Get him to 300 then once were into the last 4-6 weeks we need to play the likes of Sonsie in the 1's. Would be an amazing gesture towards the club if he went out that way
will retired at the end of the year with his 4th premiership.

Get him to 300, then he will have lots of rests and sub games IMO. Probably finish on about 303-305 games.
Fair enough point about 300 games of anything getting a player AFL life membership. No one got the memo
we have Buddy playing 350, while the swans were in a grand final last year.
The milestone this week is Rioli 150 games for Richmond.
Edwards last year dropped off in form. This year the club is going poorly yet selectors keep picking Cotch and Jack.
Not dropping any role players either.
I guess list management considers people some times.
No retirement of Tarrant either mid year.
I guess 3 retire at year end a few get delisted.
At least the VFL team is playing well hope a few from there step into the 22.

Earn your spot? But it's ok to be putrid to retain a spot in the ones? MRJ, Mansell, Cotchin, Graham and McIntosh have all had shocking years yet only MRJ was dropped once then brought straight back in on the back of a poor performance. Quality players play better when surrounded by good players and many lift when playing seniors. It's hard to sore like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys after all.
I think Cotchin has earned his spot
The plan would have been for him to be rested regularly injuries haven't allowed that to happen, the kids though have to work hard if they want in and Sonsie just hasn't been great this year so far, the others you mention have all performed better IMO.

What a champion this guy has been for our club.
People often talk about pillars.. Coach, Captain, CEO, President and Recruiting Manager.
Yes, we were blessed to have a great Coach, an incredibly intelligent CEO, a trail blazing President, and a reliable and trustworthy Recruiting Manager, but my goodness we were lucky to have Trent Cotchin as our fearless leader.
He made the club what it is today.
I love Dusty, Rance, Dimma, Peggy, Brendan, Balmey as much as anyone.. but if they are making one statue and one statue only, it's of this guy.
Make sure you are there on Saturday Night.

I'll bet you $1000 there's gonna be a Dusty statue but no Cotchin statue. Royce and St Francis don't even have statues and they were in AFL team of the century and are Legends.
This is questionable to me.
I would question the clean part. I have seen Cotchin turn the ball over through simple foot skill errors this year and last moreso than what feels like his previous 10+ years combined
Some games he is a best 22 level player and maybe even closer to our top 10-15 performed players. But some he's been a liability over 4 quarters. He has lost his consistency and plays in bursts.
I think he's suited to being the sub. And I have said so since the preseason

Another brilliant game by our spiritual leader.
He has wound back the clock in the last couple of weeks. The great thing is he is not limping to his 300th. He is an important part of our team still.
