Trent Cotchin (Merged)

[artball]

I don't want to see the almighty Chimp running around like a busted up veteran who is getting beat by players with half his talent.

me either, and I'll support him whatever he chooses to do ..

 

[Tiger Pops]

his style of play has a used by date... he no doubt needs the work/life balance and the last 3 weeks would not have been good for his head space. Expect him to be his most influential post the bye (assuming we can resume the fixture as per normal). 2022? maybe - respect whatever call he makes - he is our triple premiership captain

Looks done and dusted.

 

[Barkdog]

Thought he did everything he could to be reported tonight.....

 

[immorta]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but maybe should have finished up last year on a high?

 

[zgod]

Love him.
It's his choice.
If he goes again, great, if not than wow. What a career.
Picked us up off the canvas.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

He goes out on his terms, we owe him that, but drop off is significant.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Captain Crunch is lacking his usual punch
Don't want to believe that it might all be over

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Captain Crunch is certainly lacing his usual punch.
Don't want to believe that it has come to an end

 

[Baloo]

Captain Crunch is certainly lacing his usual punch.
Don't want to believe that it has come to an end

you can say that again

He has earned the right to go out on his trems.
Living legend of our football club ! Sick of the supports at the ground who where bagging him, he had 21 other team mates who where also *smile* house tonight !

Total agree. Been a great player and captain.
should retire this week

To paraphase Leigh Matthews, if Cotch is done, which looks the case, he will have to settle with only being the greatest, most successful captain the club has ever seen and probably the best we will ever see.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Play him behind the ball. Half back.

 

[Scoop]

The best captain we will ever see but it’s time. Don’t want him to tarnish his legacy, go out on top.

 

[Ghost of 29]

Drop off is a cliff. He can’t run at all, his kicking is terrible and he turns it over far too often. Agree has earned the right to go out on his terms but if he gets offered or takes a 1 yr contract we as a club is stuffed

 

[zippadeee]

He looks exhausted.
his mind is sound but his body can't do what he wants it to do anymore.
Greatest captain ive seen at the club alongside Matty knights.
When the day he does call it quits it truly will be a sad sad day.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

He’s become just a battering ram now. His disposal no longer hurts opposition or puts teammates in the clear.

 

[Tigermad2005]

On tonight’s game he should be dropped.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Inside mids have been hurt by the new rules. Cotch has been as affected as any.
Couple that with repeated soft tissue injuries (& possibly a lack of hunger?) & what you see is the result.
He's the barometer of our team & it's not happening.
A great champion & a great captain but as I've said all year it's close.
