No Zac Merrett, Ollie Wines or Clayton Oliver yet they have Trent Cotchin as the starting rover? 

Would have to be the most overrated player in the competition is Cotchin. Im amazed how much football love thise bloke gets.

Tend to agree that he's been very overrated over the past few years, but he did have a pretty good game on Thursday. 

Clarrie stiff not to go back to back.

I saw his game Thursday but Merrett and Wines were a step above.

I thought Roos nicely put the kybosh on this conversation permanently by saying at the time we would not have taken Kelly anyway and offered no clue as to who we would take - that makes comparisons rather hard.

Very happy with Tyson and Salem - we got what we needed.

Cotchin is the closest other player to Jack Watts in the league as a favoured whipping boy. 

Cotchin's 2 last quater bone crunching tackles were pivotal in the result  (even though one was probably around the neck).

Played a great game. His silky skills reminded me of Robert Flower at times. 

I hope we get a full season out of Salem. 

Guys like him win games

Agreed Cotchin played a beauty last friday

amongst complete mediocrity from everyone else.

Slight aside, but GWS Josh Kelly apparently has a 9 year $9mill deal on the table from Norf.

Did Salem actually play off half-back or was he a true midfielder? I was at the game and couldn't tell.

Clayton oliver should be in just for the 14 touches he got in the first q

Looked like HB to me. He was doing a fair bit of the work Bernie usually does.

With Lewis out, one of them will probably go inside this weekend. Bernie to Dangerfield makes the most sense, which means Salem can doing exactly what he did against the Blues.
