Jeez how the **** do you lose to the top-ups?

Although tbf Melbourne tend to suck for whatever reason when favourites.

Still, how bad does this make GWS despite all those draft picks?

Good to see Hardwick standing up for Cotchin.

Robinson started this during pre-season before a game was played about whether or not he was the best choice, funnily enough pointing out Jack Riewoldt now that he's going on AFL360. Jack, who doesn't even get voted into the Richmond leadership group...

International Captain
Iirc David King pumped up Jack as a potential captain during the fox footy round table discussions. He got perplexed looks from the rest of the panel as expected.

It seems like many critics have an unrealistic idea of how Cotchin has to play (somehow the best of: Hodge + Fyfe + Danger), when they might actually be better off asking his coach what he wants, and then holding him to that standard.

Love Dimma, and Jack on 360.

That's how you stick up for your skipper.

Anyway Cotch hasn't reached his 2012 heights again because he was robbed of his Brownlow from the cheating scum. Give it back to him and his magical powers will return.

The normal awards that everyone else has
Thought at the end of last year we should have looked into replacing Hardwick. I think he's done well but he's taken us as far as he can. I'll be happy if I eat my words but I'm not sure I will. Other teams are playing a better structure than us and not crumbling under pressure. Deledio being out really kills us tbf tho.

Still unsure if Cotchin should be captain. Is our best player (along with Lids) but maybe he should be allowed to concentrate on being that. Nothing in him screams "leader" in the same way Hodge and other captains can lift/direct their team as required. It's a shame Maric is a bit old/injury prone because I think he'd be a brilliant captain and other guys'd run thru a brick wall for him (to use a cliche).

Dropping Cotchin as captain because isn't as good a captain as Hodge is like dropping Warner because he's not as good as Lara.

Hodge is an ATG captain with two Norm Smiths. Its a friggin high bar.
