Trent Cotchin

[jamfrank]

What are we expecting from the Tige's Captain this week?

Last Three Against Essendon: 99, 145, 143 (129 av.)
Last Three Rounds: 52 (subbed in Q3), 51 (Curnow tag), 105 (69.3 av.)
Last Three at MCG: 51, 105, 137 (97.7 av.)

Great record against the Dons and unlikely to be tagged with Hocking missing. Super form against Essendon, but been pretty inconsistent this year. Do you back him in, or is it time to go Cotch?

________________________________________

The reason I ask is I have the option of going Bartel-->Stokes (effectively) or Cotchin--->Libba. Which is the best option?

Yeah I'm very unsure on what to do with him,

- a hunch says he'll get 120+ - but then there's another side to me saying he'll do shiit.

[jamfrank]

There's such a big question mark over him. Sure he did get subbed off last week but he only scored 19 in Q1, 25 in Q2 and 8 in Q3 (not sure how far through Q3 he got subbed, though).

It's still quite the predicament. If he had continued with his first and second quarter form last week he probably would've ended up with a 90-something...if not more.

I'm backing him in this week. With Hocking out means no hard tag and i think both him and Lids will ton up :)

Is Cotchin carrying injury - knee?

Is Cotchin carrying injury - knee?

Yeah, I thought I heard rumours of this, also. This is an important game for Richmond to win and hold on to 5th spot, so he should play. Which is kind of bad news: I almost wish it was an easy game to win so if he was carrying an injury he'd get rested and we'd all know, then I could rest assured in trading him out.

He didn't ice up or anything when he was subbed out last week. So it can't be that bad
