Hodge is a closet Tiger fan, takes him back to his youth !! But yes Cotchin was sharp last night for sure
Actually I thought he was the most fair dinkum of anyone on the field and his tackling was testament to that. Would have been a deserved winner of the medal imo. Looking in great nick too.

Watching the 3rd qtr of the Prelim against the Cats, the Skip so instrumental in setting up victory, in our finals victories i thinks his defiantly on apr with Dusty , huge big game player is the skip
Great player, great great leader... I think our best captain since Royce.
I wonder however if it is time to put a succession plan in place.
While that player will take time to close the space between them, I think his great mate Dusty should be next?
Cheers Cotch.. will open a nice red tonight in your honour.

Did you see the massive Ice Packs on the back of both Hammies after the game. Precautionary obviously but he will need to be managed especially against weaker teams
I reckon one was on the hammy, and one was on the back of a knee,
but yeah, he's not a young warhorse anymore.
I reckon hes gonna win the Brownlow this year.
yep, hes one of the most predictable footballers playing.
if there's a ball to be won within his vicinity, or even a bit out of his vicinity,
Cotchy will shift his weight forward and stay balanced through explosive forward motion,
he will go over and around blokes, changing direction like a jack Russell chasing a rat,
with no regard for the safety of himself or the bloke in between him and the ball.
and even after hes dived from a foot further away than any other bloke, and hes on the ground,
if he hasn't got the ball, he'll keep moving towards the ball, horizontally somehow,
in a kind of high speed commando crawl, a little bit like a flathead after a burrowing crustacean
the only other bloke Ive seen do it so predictably was Michael Voss

nice description Ezy and it's true. the Voss comparison is more than valid, they're very similar football brains. Hard at it ,and more than able to design proceedings on the field. Not just with the attitude at the ball, but in acting like a conductor of a orchestra does. Being a 'captain' in the proper sense of the word. Cotchin is one of the best I've seen. So is Voss.
Cotchin was brilliant. Only thing holding him back is his quality of disposal, just 10 effective despite 23 disposals. Sometimes I feel he could just hold it a bit longer and make a better decision. Wasn't on his lonesome of course, I thought overall we were very poor with our disposal on Thursday.
Didnt he just set the tone for us!
Like a freight train rumbling down the track, 80 tonne of power that aint stopping.
He is the firestarter for the team.
He might do it for another 2 years.
We need someone from the younger brigade to start and prepare for the transition
It might be Ross.

True TLove he was very shaggy by foot. So many players in all matches either had timing problems or flat hands or were just off... i reckon there was a bit of that for Cotch but he was smart enough to just go bang
