Richmond captain Trent Cotchin has become just the fifth player in the Club’s history to poll 100 Brownlow Medal votes.

Cotchin reached the milestone at last night’s 2015 Brownlow count, when he finished in equal 11th place with 17 votes.

He now has exactly 100 votes in his eight-year AFL career.

Five-time Richmond premiership hero and Club ‘Immortal’, Kevin Bartlett, is the Tigers’ leading Brownlow vote-getter with 160, followed by Matthew Richardson on 140 votes, Francis Bourke 139 votes, Matthew Knights 114 votes, and now Cotchin on 100 votes.

Cotchin maintained his remarkable level of consistency in the Brownlow Medal.

He has polled 15 Brownlow votes or more for five consecutive years – 15 in 2011, 26 in 2012, 19 in 2013, 18 in 2014 and 17 in 2015.

That’s a total of 95 votes, which have come in his past 108 home-and-away games.

Last year, Cotchin became the first player in Tigerland history to poll 15 votes or more in the Brownlow Medal on four occasions, and that was achieved four years in-a-row.

He’s gone one better in 2015, with a fifth successive 15-vote-plus polling performance.

Five Richmond players have polled 15 Brownlow votes or more three times all-up – Bill Morris (winner of the 1948 Brownlow), Roy Wright (a dual Brownlow winner – 1952 and 1954), Francis Bourke, Kevin Bartlett and Matthew Knights.
