Trent Cotchin reflects on his CHFL debut with Ballan against Newlyn

Transcript

00:00 25-4, thoughts of coming back maybe?

00:04 Definitely not, not the way my body feels. I think I'll be worse aware tomorrow and the day after as well.

00:10 How did you find it out there? It looks like a pretty tough footy out there.

00:14 I'm not sure there's too many uncontested possessions across the whole field to be fair.

00:19 It was very contested but that's why we play footy isn't it? It's good fun.

00:23 Tell me a little bit about your week here with Bland and what you've learnt from playing with these boys out here.

00:29 I take my hat off to them playing every week because I'm not sure that I could do it.

00:35 To work a full-time job, still show up during the week in the freezing cold and then come out and put on a show.

00:41 I know the boys are a little bit disappointed with the performance today but credit to Newland, they're a bloody good side for a reason.

00:47 I don't think I'll be taking it up every week at this stage.

00:53 No full-time comeback you don't think?

00:55 No, no, tennis court is way easier. I recover a lot quicker.

00:59 What about potential coaching down the track then? Is that something you might be looking at?

01:02 Probably not. I'm enjoying my time in the media but that's probably enough footy for me.

01:08 What happens to the rest of the season? I heard you might be going up to Port Douglas for a few weeks?

01:13 I've got about eight weeks to recover for that and I'll need every one of them.

01:18 No worries, will you go down to Geelong tonight?

01:20 No, I've got a function here at the club and then I'll head home with the fam.
