Return of the Cotch

[partycorolla]

People want him to play outside.... wow. Games like tonight are made for Cotch... got it going our way tonight. Great game by the skipper

 

[The Goon]

Well. Thread has been shown up for the poorly thought out piece of shit is always was.

 

[Bltiger]

Play a great great last night coming back into the side. Cotch keep the helmet on for good luck.

Take out his injury affected 19 touches against Port and he is averaging nearly 32 touches a game this year. 4 higher than his 2012 year.

Yeah but your forgetting they are all cheap kicks, he is a shite captain and doesn't gain enough meters

Got to be close to career best right now doesn't he?

Might have more of the footy this season but he's been nowhere near as damaging as he was in 2012.

Although if he does get back to that level any time soon I think the hype train will grow wings and fly us into the top 8.

I missed the game; however, theyellowsash you looked like you were watching Cotch pretty closely. How did he go all game?

if miles and dusty can continue to find a bit inside it forces opposition to put time into them rather than just sitting on cotchin .
has anyone ever received two brownlows in the one calender year ?

Thoughts on Cotch's return?

Midfield has functioned better without him the last 2 weeks. Does he play medium forward/deep with stints on the ball making us less predictable and passing on some of the responsibility he has shouldered on his own in there all year. Others have lifted without him. Similar vein to moving Richo out of the forward line for the development of others???

lol stupid post. he is and always should be a core member of our midfield, this game proved it, whats with idiots on here having digs at cotch when he is playing well anyway? are you jealous of his hair or something

Started a total shit truck. Had 3 of the first 5 possessions or something like that but completely muffed then (two were under no pressure). First half of the first quarter he was doing everything he has been criticised for. Then he set Grigg up with a bullet pass and after that was great. He was incredibly clean and he was using his possessions to be attacking and very damaging, actually putting teammates into space to run. His kicks were back to being bullet passes rather than the dinky crap he does so much. If he played like that all year he wins the brownlow. I can't help but think a few weeks out let him get his head together a bit.

Thanks for that, good response.
I think that Cotchin is as commited a Tiger as I've seen, and I've seen a lot. He's played injured to his detriment (the cheekbone a good example) and has never shirked a contest.

 

[Sol23]

Got a lot of the ball... But as I've said before he makes way to many mistakes.
Putting blokes under pressure with handballs and chip kick missing targets. Needs to clean up his ball use.

Did you read the post properly ya peanut. I didn't criticize him, I suggested making some subtle changes that may have helped the team grow.


Speaking of grow. Grow up

those changes were not needed though as cotch is quite clearly one of our top midfielders, why would you give your top midfielders less midfield time? goes against logic, and top teams need a deep midfield anyway so the more we can rotate through there the better. cotchin on saturday proved that, BOG or 2nd BOG at least and was great under those conditions. i think its time people like you understand why you should stop downgrading or criticizing him. he has never been the problem.

Where did I criticize him? Instead of flying the flag maybe stop and read first.

Richo was moved to a wing to allow other forwards to grow, and maybe our other mids need more responsibility. Or maybe I'm wrong but if you stop thinking of ways
To Improve then you might aswell
Give up.

 

[Bltiger]

Stop it you boys, we just had a good win.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

fight , fight , fight !!!

 

[Bltiger]

Cotch to get 28+ possessions 3+ tackles this week to lead the boy's to another win.

fight , fight , fight !!!

I got my money on the man in the blue corner.

yes but the guy is 26... in the prime of his career and playing well richo was 33..., your idea is just wrong sorry, and most people would agree too, give him small stints up forward for a rest but cotch is mainly a midfielder

we need more rotations through the midfield anyway but you put your best mids in there first, that includes cotch
