Welcome Tyler Sonsie
- Thread starter Willo
- Start date
Was named in the best, give him the first half this Friday and he might be right for round one.
Came to the club injured, more injuries last year, injured again this year.
Ditto Brown.
He was about the only player on our list not mentioned in Meehan's injury video so that's a good sign.
To be fair, he’s probably having to remember an interchanging group of 10 or so players every week.
As Caesar said, it’s been a shocking pre season for injuries.
Yep horrendous start to the year. I hope Luke Meehan's getting plenty of support cause he musn't be getting much sleep.
That's how I read it. Some similarities. Hampered by injuries but when he played you could just see the silk from an early stage.

2008 season
Cotchin was drafted by Richmond with the club's first selection and the second overall in the 2007 AFL draft.[11] He was assigned the number nine guernsey, which had remained unused since the retirement of former club captain Wayne Campbell at the end of the 2005 season.[12] Upon joining the club, Cotchin began to rehabilitate his injured foot but suffered the effects of an inflamed Achilles tendon on just his second treadmill run.[13] He missed much of the club's standard pre-season training, forced instead to stick to swimming and exercise bike sessions to maintain fitness.[13] Cotchin returned to full training the week of round 1 but was not declared fit to play for a further four weeks. He subsequently played four matches with Richmond's Victorian Football League (VFL) affiliate side, Coburg.[13] Cotchin made his senior debut in round 8 of the 2008 season in a match against Geelong at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).[4] He recorded sixteen disposals and an equal team-high two goals, one of which came with his first kick. In round 11, Cotchin recorded 17 possessions in the first half of Richmond's match against Adelaide.[13] He finished the match with 25 disposals and a goal to his name. After further impressive performances, Cotchin received the AFL Rising Star nomination for round 12. He kicked a goal and gathered 14 possessions on his way to the nomination.[14] Cotchin did not miss a game after making his debut, finishing the season having played fifteen games, kicking nine goals and averaging 16.4 disposals per game.[15] He ultimately finished third in the AFL Rising Star Award with 21 votes, behind Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli (37 votes) and Fremantle's Rhys Palmer who topped the poll with 44 votes.[16]2009 season
Cotchin in May 2009Cotchin again struggled with Achilles issues in the pre-season and early stages of his second season.[17] He missed the first seven matches of the season, instead playing limited game-time in VFL games with Coburg.[18] He eventually returned to the club's senior side in Richmond's round 8 match with Port Adelaide. Cotchin's season came to an end after sustaining a hip injury in the round 18 match against Melbourne. He would undergo surgery in August that would keep him from training and playing until late October.[19] He finished the season averaging 17.7 disposals and kicking three goals in ten games.[1
I am, as covered by BT.
Remember when we had him pushing cars up hills? At least they told us it was cars. It was probably buses.
No doubt about the silk. Few other differences though style wise.
The Chimp played 19 games his first year in 2008. 4 in the VFL and 15 in the VFL. In 2009 he struck some problems playing a few VFL games and 10 AFL games. After that he played 17 AFL games the next year and 22 plus thereafter.
2009 was his only decently encumbered year.
If Sonsie ends up the same, great but I’m a tad concerned. Unlike Chimp he came IN injured and is still encountering gremlins. And they’re different ones as well. 2021 both knee and ankle injuries. 2022 season couple of minor blips then in rehab again according to Caesar during the pre season after undergoing surgery and now a hip flexor as well in 2023.
Him and Brown need an extended run at their football.
