Trent Cotchin retirement
Richmond legend Trent Cotchin has retired.
The club’s recent dynasty has been brought to an end with the former Tigers captain’s decision to leave, just weeks after former coach Damian Hardwicke also announced his decision to leave.
The 33-year-old had been widely tipped to retire at the end of the year – but his decision has still rocked the football club.
Cotchin, a three-time premiership captain, Brownlow Medalist and three-time Jack Dyer Medal winner, has played 305 AFL games, including a club-record 188 as captain.

Wife
Brooke, the wife of Richmond star Trent Cotchin, has posted CCTV footage of an Essendon fan’s bizarre act in front of their home at 1.45am after the Tigers’ narrow defeat to the Bombers.
Essendon’s 10.11 (71) to 10.10 (70) win on Saturday night broke a 13-game losing streak against Richmond in their Dreamtime ‘G clash’.
It also ended the Bombers’ four-game losing streak and ended Richmond’s streak of eight Dreamtime wins.
After the match, three Tigers fans were caught on video passing by the Cotchin family home, one of whom decided to return and wrap Bombers Guernsey over the front gate for a few seconds and Then took her back and went away.
Cotchin, a mother of three, posted the bizarre footage to Instagram the next day with the comment: ‘1.45am – they’re hanging the Essendon jumper over our fence.’
Joel selwood
The show will be anchored by Seven commentator and former Channel 9 footy show host James Brayshaw, and will feature a panel of premiership captains including Joel Selwood and Trent Cotchin.
The Cochins Tigers are still in the running for the finals, but with three rounds left in the regular season, are 13th on the AFL ladder, six points off eighth place.
The Herald Sun reports that Seven has spent several months trying to establish the right formula for the show and that it will follow a similar format to Talking Footy.
Talking Footy was Channel 7’s flagship panel show, which originally aired in 1994.
It ran for 10 years before it was discontinued and was hosted by Bruce McAvennie, before returning for the 2013 final series.
The following year, Luke Darcy moved from panelist to host.
But both Talking Footy and the channel’s Sunday review show Game Day were shelved during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time, Lewis Martin, Seven’s head of network sport, announced that it was only a “temporary hiatus” for both programs at the time.
However, this has not been seen since the network declined to bring anyone back due to reported “budget issues”.
Brownlow
Former Hawthorns star Sam Mitchell would not say whether Job Watson deserved to lose his Brownlow Medal. But he and Richmond captain Trent Cotchin never thought of taking back the joint award when the AFL officially stripped Watson of the 2012 Brownlow for his role in the Essendon supplements saga.
“I think in this game you take the umpire’s call,” Mitchell said during a press conference with Cotchin on Thursday. “We are both very proud to be Brownlow Medalists. We are not going to get into (whether Watson’s clearance was justified). It is not for us to decide.
The pair, who were originally runners-up to Watson for the AFL’s highest individual accolade, will receive their medals at a private ceremony next month. Cotchin was holidaying in Noosa with his family when he received a panicked phone call from AFL chief Gillon McLachlan on Tuesday to confirm the league’s decision.
Cochrane joked, “We were waiting for Gill’s call at four o’clock and we were wondering if he had a watch.” “It is mixed feelings. We are still playing and it has been a four year process but we have still won the most prestigious individual award under different circumstances. It is definitely something we will consider post career as well.
