Welcome Noah Cumberland

[craig]

Like Stack before him, really thought we had a player here. Oh well.

Stack was a player just had his focus elsewhere unfortunately.

 

[K3]

Put Cumbo into the middle for a full game and see how he goes.

a. Has gone pretty well in the guts previously, and
b. Should give more than plonked up forward.

Worth a shot

Unfortunately it's been like this all year Tigerman in the VFL. He's unsighted for much of the game and then puts in a scintillating spurt as if he better do something before the game ends. We know he can and should be killing it at VFL level. It shouldn't really matter where he's played, quality floats to the top. It's in the head for sure.

A touch of the Shai Boltons...

Huge game for Cumberland v. Freo... best performances have been in Dusty's striker role when the great man has been out... really hope he's given a run for the full game rather than sub, a dusty exit could almost buy him another year if he shows some steel with this opportunity... Now or not.

His best football has been when Dusty hasn’t played.

Don’t bother playing him if he’s going to be sub.

 

[Jewell]

Time is up for cumbo. Maybe he will succeed somewhere else but it wont be here. Move on and give someone else a go

Can’t believe he got a game after playing o e quarter of footy against a bottom VFL side. Last throw at the stumps for him.

One piece of play he broke 3 tackles and delivered a bullet pass resulting in a goal.

Amazing we had to wait three quarters for the bloke to wake up . Standards are low at the moment as we are gifting games to blokes who put in a solid quarter of vfl football against a bottom side. I can’t see this bloke being more than suburban footballer or bush footballer. Too one dimensional for me and not enough tricks . Poor vertical leap, only kicks with one foot, constantly loses his man, goes missing for long periods, misses tackles and not a smart footballer.
He’s the can’t bat , can’t field , can’t wicket keep and can’t bowl player.

 

[ToraToraTora]

He was AWFUL in the first half, did a couple of things in the third Q, then woke up in the last. Look there's still an AFL player in there somewhere, who knows if we find it.

That is just a very poor assessment. He may end up in the suburbs however he does have talent no one can deny that.

Someone has to play the sub.
Last man on so it makes sense he is.
Its up to Cumbo to give his best shot now

No it’s not as it’s closer to reality. Every AFL player has talent and this is why they’re on lists. Sadly some don’t get to produce it often enough because a more talented opponent exploits their weaknesses and dismantles them.

 

[code yellow and black]

What a joke. How can he be given a game before green? You might say selection shouldn’t be based on one game (last week) which is fair enough but Cumbo has done bugger all in the VFL all year.

Why the hell would you play this guy midfield? It's not his bag.

Forward or bust and it looks like a bust.

At this late stage I don't see why you wouldn't try it? May as well squeeze all the juice out before casting aside the rind.

Why play a guy in midfield who has never played there before? He won't have the tank and clearly doesn't have the mental strength.

Re your first Q Sam Durham immediately springs to mind.

Cumberland would only have short bursts through there.
He can interchange with Shai.
It's worth a crack even if it fails.

Wouldn't mind seeing Cumbers given a run on the wing, he can rotate with Kamdyn in the forward line if he hasn't got the tank to play on the wing.
