Description

Three time Richmond premiership captain Trent Cotchin joins Abbey and Georgie fresh from a front row seat to Brisbane’s latest flag, having watched the Grand Final from inside the Lions coaches’ box. Cotchin takes them behind the scenes of the comeback, explains what separates great teams from merely good ones and compares the culture driving Brisbane’s remarkable run with the Richmond dynasty he helped build. There’s plenty of love for Will Ashcroft, too, as Trent reveals the personality behind Brisbane’s young superstar, why his All Australian snub may have unleashed something dangerous and what makes him such a relentless competitor. He also weighs in on the Lions’ frighteningly young list, whether they can keep the dynasty rolling, and the challenge of finding motivation when you’ve already climbed the mountain again and again. Then comes the Grand Final’s most talked-about tactical move. Trent breaks down the now infamous “Wharfie Time” call, why he actually likes the idea despite how brutally it backfired on Fremantle, and whether the Dockers can turn Grand Final heartbreak into a Richmond 2017-style launchpad next season. Plus, he gives an emphatic answer on whether senior coaching is in his future, explains why he’s much happier exploring life outside football and opens up on finding his place in podcasting after being told to become more opinionated in traditional media.
