Northern Knights 2006-07 Squad Member Trent Cotchin was nominated
as the Round 12 NAB AFL Rising Star. Cotchin showed plenty of the class that he has become renowned for by collecting 14 disposals in an important win for Richmond against Melbourne.
Cotchin was selected by Richmond with Pick 2 in the 2007 AFL National Draft and debuted in Round 8 of the 2008 season against Geelong, when he was a late inclusion for Adam Pattison. He kicked a goal with his first kick in AFL football, becoming the third former Knight to achieve that rare feat in 2008 behind Matthew Kreuzer and John Anthony.
During his career with the Knights Trent played 13 games and was the club Vice Captain in 2007 before being drafted as a bottom aged player. He represented Vic Metro U/18 in 2007 and was Captain of the Vic Metro U/16 side in 2006. His play in the 2006 U/16 National Championships earned him an AIS/AFL Scholarship for 2006/07.
Congratulations to Trent on his Round 12 Rising Star nomination.
