AFLW: Richmond have kept their AFLW finals hopes alive after a win against the Hawks in Cairns.
Retired Tigers champion Trent Cotchin has lifted the lid on when he sensed something was off with former coach Damien Hardwick during an emotional and fiery spray to players after his final game.
“He pointed to the Essendon team that was displayed on the whiteboard and said, ‘To be honest with you, I reckon this team is a bunch of spuds, and you aren’t even as good as they are’. “When I caught up with them, I think they sensed it at that night when I didn’t go into that room. I didn’t start pencilling in what was the plan of attack for the review and I think they probably sensed that it was time.”Cotchin also revealed he first officially learned his long-time coach was leaving Punt Road the Monday after the loss to Essendon after agreeing to meet up with Hardwick at the 51-year old’s home.
