Dougie Cochrane Shines in Return to AFL Field

Dougie Cochrane returned to the field last weekend, marking his first appearance of the year and showcasing his skills with 31 disposals in a match against West Adelaide.

Although his statistics were somewhat boosted by taking kick-ins, Cochrane stood out in a challenging 98-point loss, demonstrating resilience and leadership in just his second game with the Power.

Positioned in the backline to increase his involvement, he played regular minutes after being managed in the previous week. His performance included gaining significant territory and initiating offensive plays, even amid adverse weather conditions. Cochrane has two games left this season, which will serve as a preview for his official joining of the club next year.
