Welcome Noah Cumberland

Important that he is not played as the third tall forward. He just compete with bigger guys on the lead.

I think I read a while ago that he has kicked his bags without dusty playing, and ineffective when he does play.

Hope this may be the opportunity he needs.

Dunno if anyone else actually watched the game, but Green kicked 4 of his goals in literally a 5 min burst very late in the last Q. He was obviously still working for a crust and you make your own luck yadda yadda, but I didnt think he had an incredible match from what I saw. This Cumba selection to me has a last stand vibe about it. Noah, this is it sunshine.
No he didn't have a great game. I'm pretty sure Cumbo helped setup a couple of his goals too. I don't think Green is ready. Needs to backup with some consistency at VFL level first.Screenshot_2024-07-06-09-53-19-38_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg

People are suggesting he goes into the midfield or on a wing at AFL!

In what world do people think he could actually play there??

They threw him in the midfield for not even 1 quarter in the VFL.

If you want to continue that experiment you do it at VFL level for a few weeks and not AFL.
Yep. No chance of Cumbo being a wingman or midfielder at AFL level. Doesn't have the stamina required. Can only pinch hit in the middle at VFL level let alone AFL.

Has kicked bags of 3 or more goals 5 times and 4 times Dusty was not playing.

Have a look at some of his highlights. He has more athleticism than most afl players
No he hasn't. He is not quicker than most afl players, nor has a level of fitness compared to most afl players

We know he was drilled and drilled to be more defensive. He is more defensive. But has lost any notion of how to get the ball.
