What a gem. Keeps his feet at critical times.

18 snags in his first 8 games.

Just looks a natural footballer. I know hindsight is 20-20 but you just wonder how it took him so long to get a game. I know some pointed to his often selfish play but I haven’t seen many signs of that at senior level.

Yes and not only that but his defensive work looks great. Maybe they were genuine knocks that he's worked on?

Humble pie never tasted so good. I was ready to cull him.

and one of those games he was an unused sub. So it's really 18 from 7. What a gun

Agitates me seeing George lurking around the team still when we have MRJ and Cumberland killing it. We have found our small forwards for the long haul

Elsewhere, there are plenty of positives. Noah Cumberland is key among them.

“When you find a player like this during a season, that‘s when you can really elevate,” Nathan Buckley told Fox Footy.

“We’ve gone from the old Richmond to the new Richmond throughout 2022 and Cumberland is one of those players who has come in and played an important role.

“(Jack) Ross has played one of his career-best halves. Cumberland keeps getting it done. His workrate, his pressure on the opposition and he just loves the moment, he seems to be a young kid that thrives with the big moments.”

It’s actually amazing to see a small forward be able
To execute basic skills and decision making. I don’t mean to poo on Castagna but it has been sorely

Probably had to be selfish because no-one else could kick a goal.

Has been a revelation since being promoted. His all round game has improved out of sight. Well done to him. Makes us a better team that's for sure.

Lloyd compared Cumberland to Hird. Saying he's a very hard match-up for opposition teams. He's a very good mark so you can't play a tall on him; and if you play a tall then he's too quick.

I was so wrong about this kid. Looked at sea in the VFL and his skills by foot were deplorable.

I’m glad he’s proved me wrong and made his selection count.

You're wrong about his skill level in the VFL too. Sounds like a judgement made after seeing him play one poor game.

At least you admit you had no idea though
