Trent Cotchin Biography

Trent Cotchin is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on April 7, 1990 in Melbourne, Australia. Australian Rules Football player who was named the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year in 2012.

He and Jack Reiwolt became two of the AFL’s premier players in 2011.

At the end of the home & away season, Cotchin had led Richmond to its first top four finish in 16 years. Facing Geelong in a qualifying final, Cotchin delivered a “blistering captain’s performance” to see his side to victory. He finished with 20 disposals, seven clearances, a goal and a game-high nine tackles in what was the club’s first finals win under his leadership. Cotchin backed it up the following week when his Tigers won a preliminary final and progressed to the Grand Final for the first time in 35 years. His path to play in the match was under a cloud however, with a bump on Greater Western Sydney’s Dylan Shiel coming under some scrutiny after the Giant finished the game with concussion. Having been fined twice prior in the season, a fine of any amount would see Cotchin automatically suspended under the three strike rule. The Match Review Panel ultimately cleared him of all charges however, determining his hit came in the process of contesting the ball and was not eligible for any sanction. It was a highly controversial decision at the time, with media experts and the public-at-large split on the decision. Cotchin’s Richmond entered the Grand Final as underdogs the following week, facing minor premiers Adelaide. Despite the odds, Cotchin lead the team to an historic 48 point victory, captaining the club to its first premiership since 1980. He set a new club record for tackles in a season (139), and placed fourth in the club’s best and fairest count.

He won two consecutive Jack Dyer Medals to end the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Cotchin started the season slowly, recording just seventeen disposals and one clearance in the club’s round 1 win against Carlton. In April, he received criticism from Herald Sun journalist Mark Robinson for a “safe” play-style. Robinson scolded Cotchin for his inability to impact the scoreboard with goals and goal assists and questioned his recent history of defensive kicking, specifically his average of just five metres gained per kick in round 2. When Coach Hardwick labelled the club’s round 4 loss to Melbourne as “insipid”, Cotchin responded by promising the media that his team would “make sure we’re more consistent.” It would prove an empty promise, with the Tigers again falling, this time at the hand of Geelong. To this point, Cotchin ranked 66th in the league for metres gained and 18th for lateral or backward kicks. AFL Media’s Peter Ryan suggested this was an underachievement for Cotchin, but more specifically that he was not damaging enough to be considered “a great player”.
