Its common knowledge that an organisation whatever its size, resonates from the top down.
Cotchin embodies our culture and his stamp on our club is undeniable.
He is completely different to captains like Taylor Walker or even Nick Riewoldt... their styles are so gung-ho, angryman, imploring 'til red in the face.
Cotch is just as tough, just as stoic but he is calm and measured in the heat of the moment.
Every successful captain is different but Cotch's tenancy is a dream appointment on so many levels.
