This is one of those rare occasions where we have an intelligent and informed Collingwood supporter and it's the Richmond guy who is the tosser. Or t@@ser, if you prefer.

Can someone remind me again why we didnt draft this kid?

Cotchin is going to have to be d@mn good otherwise it will go down as a terrible recruiting error. I think recruiters complicate things a lot. Palmer dominates against his peers at the Carnival = pretty good chance he will be an out an out star at AFL level (after development time). Yet he is overlooked by us and a few other clubs.

Maybe Cotchin will be better and prove me wrong, but from all accounts, we have likely made another terrible recruiting bungle.

Bump.

What's your opinion now eays?

Give me the "COTCH" thanks :thumbsu:

The level headness of this kid makes me happy that we ended up with pick 2 last year. ;)
 
Palmer is a terrific player to have in your dreamteam but the reason he went as low as he did is that his disposal is not always first class. Cotchin is as good as they come on both his left and right side which is clearly something the tigers need. How many times have we dropped games, not because of endeavour/effort, but because of costly turnovers. We don't have any trouble winning the ball. Last year we finished bottom and yet had two of the top 6 clearance players in our side (Foley, Tuck) it is clear that what we need is players with skill. ie Cotchin ahead of Palmer.

I wrote it in another thread after, but i am happy to say i have eaten my words. Cotchin is a rolls royce and even if he doesnt turn out to be better than Palmer it is worth the risk. Cotchin looks a million bucks, quick, clever, spotless disposal. I can see him becoming one of the best 1-2 mids in the competition in 3-4 years provided he doesnt cop any injuries and can sufficiently boost his fitness. Most pleased.
 
by the way
palmer is 19 or so while cotchin was bottom aged in last years draft

cotch cleary has better skills, i love the way he breaks tackles

Big enough to admit your mistake - impressive.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, THREAD.
Palmer is already playing as well as he ever will.
Don't be so short sighted.
Cotchin has played just 5 games in the last 10 months and has already shown that he is a rare talent. He had no preseason and only started full training 7 weeks ago.

And on who's account have we made a recruiting bungle.
Cotchin will have the best AFL career out of the 2007 draft by a long way. He is on his way to being a superstar.

Dude, i already admitted i was wrong what do you want me to write it in blood?

Happy to say Cotchin is a beauty. Go Tigs.
 
Kudos on admitting you were wrong.

But it was extremely reactionary to go and say what you did in the first place. I mean we've made some bungles in the past, granted, but cotchin was clearly the best player (kreuzer was always going to go first because he was a rare talent for a ruckman) in last years draft. If he doesnt reach the levels we all hope he does, that wont be our recruiting departments fault.

Too many richmond supporters are hung up on franklin v tambling. But ask anyone, including hawthorn, who they would have taken with our pick and it was always going to be bling.

Fiora and JON, however, were more "project" picks...which is always super risky that early in the draft.

The difference between the 2 at the moment is Palmer has had a preseason and Cotchin has not. Surely Cotchin has shown enough in 2 games to say he will be as good as palmer.

Maybe so, but you were still a complete ________ to say it in the first place before Cotchin had even played a game for Coburg:rolleyes:

Good onya mate. I didn't bump this to make you look like a flog, more making the point that it's best to wait until a player plays until forming an opinion on him. It happens all to regulary that players are shit canned even before they start.
 
eays said:
all i am saying is how much better can he possibly be? Palmer has already had 17 possessions in the first half of his second game. Simple question is, why didnt we go the safe option and draft Palmer since we are trying to rebuild our club.

dude, do yourself a favour. Take a good close look at Cotch's first game against the benchmark. You might see why we took him. Broderick like gives in the heat of battle, that cuts open the path. ;)

Cotchin will be a gun, but please don't compare him to Broderick. Guy had the heart of a pea

WTF!

There was a reason why he was so well known for his handball...its because he was always at the bottom of packs getting crunched and unable to kick.

He is the 3rd best richmond midfielder i have seen in my life after knights and campbell (probably will be surpassed by deledio, foley and cotchin too)

Screw this and Screw you - why dont you read the entire thread before putting in you 2c worth ... i have officially stated numerous times that i was out of line for posting that, and am very happy with Cotchin -he is going to be a gun.

But i am not going to keep apologizing for writing my opinion and especially to people who appear to be reading the very first post from several weeks ago and then commenting after all this water has gone under the bridge.

I WAS WRONG - I'M SORRY - NOW BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT.
