where is cotchin?

[me]

why isn't this guy in everyone's teams? at the end of last year after week upon week of sheer dominance and brilliance, seemed like every man and his dog had this guy locked in for 2013. now it appears he's unique!? (dont have assistant coach to verify his "uniquity" but from looking at teams being posted it appears so) =/

***pauline hanson voice*** - please explain!?

[Windigo]

I don't think he is that unique TBH.

Deledio on the other hand....

He's a good player, you're not wrong on that. But there is just more upside to similarly priced players. People like JPK and Dangerfield have a higher ceiling, so are more likely to be chosen.

Hes in like 30% of teams... so hmmmmmm

the hype has died down, people have had all preseason to look over everyone and realised he isnt that good a pick. worried about tags, my stat of 104 against top 8 teams 115 against bottom 10 teams is damming.

especially when he plays 4/5 teams that i rate top 8 early.

SC Paige said this:
"Trent Cotchin couldn't break a tag from Nick Lower, and had little influence on the game."

Personally that worried me enough to ditch him today..
IN: Lids.

yeah but gotta remember that it's nab cup, heaps of the premos haven't been firing or showing much enthusiasm, but that all changes when they hit round 1

from what i remember last year, cotchin obliterated the tag whenever he got it

[tbagrocks]

Taking a player a year after their big breakout is a risk, bottom line...!

Anyway Dangerfield is cheaper and better!

[Barra17]

LOL. Didn't Dangerfield have a "breakout" year last year?

[me]

believe me i'm happy if people don't have him lol, just wanted to gauge how ppl are feeling about the mighty cotch  - seems like heaps of ppl have fallen off him just cos he hasn't blitzed the nab (despite a full uninterrupted preseason and now captaincy which really is DELICIOUS proposition)

[tbagrocks]

LOL. Didn't Dangerfield have a "breakout" year last year?

Kind of, wasnt the 110 that the Murphy, Redden, Rockliff and Selwood all fell from though

The Dangerman = The only way is up! 8)

This is why people are off Cotchin, i've been saying Danger is better for 5 weeks ;D

[Barra17]

Captaincy mans nothing. Joel Selwood lowered his average after gaining captaincy.

There are alot of people on Cotchin.

Captaincy mans nothing.

disagree.

You are by far the most bias person I have encountered on fanfooty forums. I personally haven't chose Cotchin but I would still rather Cotchin over Danger any day of the week. He only broke out last year and your basis for selecting him is that he didn't average 110+.... Yes maybe Beams did it but may I remind you of Liam Shiels... I have Danger pinned for 100-105 if I had to guess and can potentially go 110+ but no way will he beat Cotchin. He is in the exact same boat except he is a sailor compared to Cotchin as a captain. Same league.. Lower Rank....

You just can't rate the two as equals. I wouldn't be surprised if he failed to reach 100. Just state 3 factual and evidential reasons why and how Dangerfield is better than Cotchin... Not personally or opinion based but factual and based on evidence... Here's Cotchin's 3:
1: Cotchin scored more points
2: Cotchin had a higher average
3: Cotchin had 10 consecutive 100+ scores and you know won't ever be moved out of his position as a set midfielder

Don't say the tagging shower either because Dangerfield is now just as likely to receive the tag as Cotchin...

If I had to have them in my team I'd have Cotchin M4-5 and would only select Dangerfield as a M7-8

the strain on running the team good results will get to him early. he'll sought it out but it could hamper his fantasy scores.
