Statistically he was in the top handful, but he is a death by a thousand cuts type player so often goes unnoticed.
We were discussing with a Richmond supporter with us, and the concensus was that the 3 should go to Cotchin for Round 1. 2 to either of Cripps or Martin, and the other one will get the 1. Given the Tigers won, Cripps will get 1 vote.
I agree about Cotchin, he played a Hodge type game, him being the Captain is a bonus, not sure he was BoG though.
Don't agree about Dusty, I thought he as average at best, well below his best. I wouldn't have even had him in their top 5!
I thought Nankervis was BoG, he also had "a presence" and was all over the ground as much if not more than Cotchin. Lambert was pretty good when it mattered, as was Houli and Edwards.
Back onto this weeks game, I'm not sure those changes help us much. None of the three inclusions, Levi, Marchbank and O'Brien, are what you would call physical, and the Swans are mostly gritty physical types.
Maybe we are going to run them off their feet with our silky skills?
Excuse me while I head on the back to slap myself! ;D
