Really not sure why Cotchin doesn’t get the same recognition as Selwood.

The narrative is all about the Geelong fairy tales. Let them have it. Let them turn up emotionally charged.

Was thinking the same thing. But that’s just typical of the media circle jerk around Geelong. Really not sure why Cotchin doesn’t get the same recognition as Selwood. He’s a dual premiership captain. Selwood isn’t. Also Selwood hasn’t done anything like what Cotchin has done as a captain, i.e. lead his team from the abyss of 2016 to 2 premierships and 3 grand finals in 4 years, plus another top 4 finish.

The footy media have no *smile* idea.
Both great captains and IMO a level above Pendlebury as leaders. It's odd how the other two get all the reverence.

Have posted previously - most wins as captain:

It's a veritable who's who of footy, and Cotchin is sold well short of the others.

Looking forward to his first tackle in the 3rd quarter.

Cotchin is our secret weapon.
He will hurt you.
Underrate him at your peril.
I was looking at the Cats forum on Big Footy.The only Tiger they seem to rate is Dusty. Edwards is their vernacular is a "battler", Cotch is apparently no threat. No mention of Lynchy, Basher, Grimesy...I prefer it when teams underrate our skill set.

Reckon Geelong hunt him early, try and rattle him.

Absolute waste of time but Scott will try and take out our biggest hunter.
