Barring injury and a horrendous drop in form I'd expect Noah to play all 23 H&A games

I'd expect 2 maybe 3 goals a game

He needs to be prepared for opposition teams to put more more into curtailing his influence. I reckon that will be his biggest test, coping with the extra attention

Don't think he'll be kicking 46-69 goals myself.

Agree with the extra attention although tbh that might be hard for an opposition team when our forward line has Bolton, Dusty, Rioli as well as our talls.

I reckon 35 goals would be a decent year (at 1.5/game), any more than that would be great.

[Gracie]

Looking for him to take the step up. Plenty of players who had a short flame in performance then fizzled out.

I expect Noah to be one of the few to go on with it. A 30+ goal season would be excellent.

[Damo]

Reckon for him there will be no middle ground

He will either kick right on , or drop off

Im going with the former and reckon he will have a really good year

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Big big fan of him. If he plays with the same intensity and effort,  it'll come. All he has to do is at least function well with the other forwards and apply pressure. We know what he can do ball in hand and it's far better than any small forward we've had for a long long time

[the claw]

He basically played just 8 games being non playing sub in one. Kid averaged 2.4 goals a game that equates to around 50 goals a season.
Reckon 40 goals is possible and realistic. Why well i expect the ball to be coming inside 50 more often and hopefully quicker when we improve at c/c and stoppages with the advent of TT and JH.

The area id like to see get better is his tackle numbers and pressure. Reckon Noah and MRJ will have their work cut out with young Clarke sniffing about the place.
There is plenty of room for two GENUINE small forwards and the three mentioned are the go. Surely they play in front of everyone as a small fwd except Bolton who is an important part of midfield rotations.

Personally i dont think just Hopper and Taranto will deliver a flag we need some youthful regeneration as well..

And with Jack Riewoldt in his twilight years, will we see Noah Cumberland step up and become Richmond’s genuine No. 2 option up forward alongside Tom Lynch?

I’m just trying to work out his spot.
Lynch, Jack as talls
Dusty and Shai swapping with mids as medium forwards
MRJ and Cotchin round it out.

[Tiger Khosh]

Replace Cotchin with him and you’ve worked out his place….

Cotchin will be a mid who rests fwd rotating with the other mids resting in the fwd line i.e. dusty, Bolton, TT.

[Stripes]

I'm not as concerned as others about him receiving more attention from the opposition. Our forward line as a whole is going to be very challenging for defenses. If defenders try and shut him down then Dusty and Bolton get off the leash. I actually feel that Dusty and Bolton will be more of a focus than Cumberland so he'll be afforded more space and time to score freely. He's certainly not shy about his hunger for a goal or his ability to find a way to impact the F50 either. I'm expecting a season of 25+ goals from the lad only because we have so many options forward now.

Who will both be rotating with dusty and shai…
