- Trent Cotchin’s car targeted by thieves this week
- Richmond AFL great left his Mercedes unlocked
- Wife Brooke admitted the family are ‘rattled’
Footy legend Trent Cotchin and his family remain in disbelief after they were victims of a daylight robbery.
The triple-premiership captain with Richmond and Brownlow Medallist had numerous items stolen from his Mercedes outside his Moonee Ponds home, in Melbourne’s north-west, on Thursday.
His wife Brooke later posted security footage of a car pulling up in front of their house around 6pm.
A hooded thief can be seen hovering over Cotchin’s car – which was unlocked – before opening the door and helping himself to a wallet, including an Amex card.
Cotchin has confirmed multiple transactions were made on the card before it was locked.
Victoria Police were then spotted at Cotchin’s house on Friday morning taking statements.

Cotchin’s wife Brooke told Instagram followers her family were left ‘rattled’ by the incident
The footy star’s wife posted on Instagram anything ‘half valuable’ in the vehicle was taken, but Cotchin’s mouthwash, toothbrush and toothpaste were left behind.
She added her family were left ‘rattled’ by the incident.
Cotchin retired at the end of 2023 following a brilliant career with the Tigers, which included flags in 2017, 2019 and 2020.
He captained the team to all three premierships, and also snared three best and fairest gongs at Punt Road during his storied 306-game career.
Away from footy, Cotchin was recently mortified when he appeared on Channel Seven’s Dancing With The Stars.
While he impressed when performing a Cha Cha with Jess Raffa, the decorated midfielder was left with a questionable red lipstick mark on his crotch.
It was all good natured, with Cotchin admitting it was ‘extremely awkward’ before playfully asking host Sonia Kruger to ‘move on’ when questioned about the stain.
Dancing With The Stars fans previously noted Cotchin had been a little hesitant to dance with Raffa during early days of the show.
Many felt the footy star didn’t feel comfortable dancing with another woman who was not his wife and childhood sweetheart, Brooke.
