Welcome Noah Cumberland

I was a fan.

Earlier in 2024 when we basically lost our whole forward line the team was crying out for him to show something in the vfl because there was a place waiting for him. He couldn’t do it, never grabbed it.

I remember he had one good match possession wise and had the yips and kicked 1-6

Always something holding him back

Noah's problem seems more psychological in his head. I wonder if doing his knee so early on affecting his desire for a contest. Maybe a new club will help him but it will be a big ask but good luck to the lad anyway

With a better attitude, work ethic and half a brain between them, he and Sydney Stack should already have been a staple in our forward line.

Yeah this seems to be something that people keep saying. The club should have done more. Cumbo was treated poorly. Etc etc etc.

But I don’t get it. What is it exactly that the club should have done?

Does anyone really believe Cumbo wasn’t given a set of very clear expectations and a whole lot of coaching? (Of course he was).

That his VFL form over the last couple of years merited more senior opportunities? (It quite obviously didn’t).

That the ability was somehow coached out of him or that his natural Cumbo vibrancy was stifled by evil boomers who just didn’t dig his style? (Fragile much?)

Or maybe he looked promising when surrounded by triple premiership players drawing the heat away from him, but turned out to be a pretty limited, undersized forward with very few other strings to his bow, who struggled to impact at any level for the last couple of years.

I always liked Cumbo, but it’s not the club’s fault he didn’t make it with us. Correct call to delist.
Yeah, you’re probably right, he was certainly at the club long enough to stake a claim if he really wanted it.
And I was actually never that big a fan, I just think he had more than enough talent and athleticism to be a useful and sometimes exciting AFL footballer. Feels like there might have been a way to drag a bit more out of him, although obviously there are limits on how many resources can be put into one player’s development.

Plus the way Dimma spoke about him publicly never sat well with me, so I guess I had my doubts about how he was managed at the club.

BTW, I don’t think anyone at the club went out of their way to stuff up his career. That would be stupid.

Still reckon he gets picked up as a rookie. Collingwood Macrae cheap as chips backup for Elliot when he invaribly has a back issue during the year. Cheap back up plug and play

Cumbo could be valuable for a club that creates space in their forward line because he is very good at finding that space. That isn’t us and hasn’t been for the last 2 years, the lack of space up forward is something that has characterised our forward half in 2023-24.

I WAS HOPING HE WOULD HAVE ONE AMAZING GAME SO I COULD POST THIS STORY I MADE UP FOR HIM, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. LOL




RICHMOND 19:38​



After Noah successfully saved the Richmond FC and the Tiger Army from mediocrity he could have relaxed and lived out the remainder of his years chilling in his tent and watching his sons create what will become the population of all the nations of the Tiger world.

But Noah was an overachiever, and didn’t stop at simply repopulating the universe as this would be a negative and over defensive reaction. He decided to plant, what is known as the first documented vineyard in Richmond history in front of Punt Road Oval. This ancient art he had learnt from a senior prophet named Dylan,

Rd. 10:02. Dylan suggested to Noah whilst in his younger playing days to have an alternative career path as there were no guarantees he would prosper at this caper known as Aussie Rules Football.

Years after his flood of goals, Noah took to working on the Yarra Gardens. It was during this time that he planted the first vineyard there and produced what we all know as wine.

So, one night, Noah drinks way too much wine and passes out in his tent…. NAKED. Although I do take after his love of the fermented grape, and the side effects that come with drinking too much of it the volume consumed by this great Tiger Prophet can never be seconded.

Now here is the part of Noah’s story that gets a little bizarre. The night that Noah passed out drunk on wine and laid naked in his tent, one of his mates, Joshua, Rd. 21:18, walked in and found him. Joshua left the tent and told his two mates Benjamin, Rd. 17:46 and Jacob, Rd. 22:22 of Noah’s situation. They then went in with a robe, backwards, so they didn’t see their drunk naked mate, and covered him.

When Noah woke up all hungover, he got really pissed off with Joshua for some unknown reason. Maybe because he didn’t cover him or he took his last bottle of red? Nobody really knows, as Tiger gospel does not go into detail about why Noah got so mad. All we know was that he was so angry that he put a curse on Joshua related to a fitness staff member Louie and made him become a cripple for two years like he had previously done in his playing days. He then said how much he loves his two other mates Benjamin and Jacob and hope that they multiply and have amazing lives. It was really uncool of Noah to punish poor Joshua for his neglectful actions, but after planting the first vineyard of all time in Richmond, Noah can do no wrong in my eyes.

Noah continued to consume this blessed wine naked during his entire life of 950 years and his kingdom multiplied. Now, if everyone can celebrate the achievements of this great man, and get drunk on wine tonight and pass out naked in their living rooms after attempting to beget or bring forth offspring for the future Tiger Army, it would be very much appreciated.
