Trent Cotchin's year of challenges and lessons

Cotchin had also been among the players who had raised the possibility of leaving the hub, a fact that emerged in a comment from Jane Gale, the wife of Richmond’s chief executive.

Cotchin’s three young children, including his school-aged six-year-old daughter, have been in the hub for 100-plus days, a situation that he found both ‘‘amazing’’ in terms of life lessons, but also challenging. ‘‘It’s certainly something that I think we’ll reflect on for years to come ... you know, having the kids around and for the boys and Brooke, for that matter, just to get to experience what I get to experience every day back in Melbourne has been special and unique and has given them a total appreciation of, you know, what footy clubs are about, particularly our footy club.

Did Cotchin think the season, about to be completed, would actually cross the finish line, as it will on Saturday night at the Gabba.‘‘To be honest, I had no idea. Once we got up here it seemed as though things were going pretty well but there was definitely times where I think the AFL was fearful.’’

He felt his own hard-edged play, which has been evident for some years, was ‘‘just part and parcel’’ of playing footy.

Hey intern, check your text. He hadn’t played in a Grand final in the past, so he was right to think that he hadn’t.
