Noah Cumberland [merged]

[Andyy]

He stuffed a couple of opportunities for sure but he presents well and knows where to position himself. If he'd kicked 1 more it would have been a semi decent game.

Forward line looks better with him in it IMO.

[Diocletian]

Finally - someone who actually watched the game. 

[one-eyed]

Cumberland's first game back:

13 disposals (8k, 5h, 4c, 9u, 38.5% eff.)
6 marks (1 contested mark)
4 tackles
4 inside 50s
264 metres gained
2 intercepts
4 score involvements
1 goal
2 behinds (plus 1 OOTF)
82% time on ground.

His fault we lost apparently....

His fault we lost apparently....

Yep
With his Dan Connor’ish vibes

I just don't see what is so good about this guy. Probably made more errors than anybody on the park tonight and doesn't seem to make the right choices often. To all those so bouyant on him, what do you see?

Hey Fluffy, I no way profess to be an expert but:
He is a decent size, not getting ragdolled
Is competitive offensively
Plays taller than his height
Defensively improving
Has plenty of upside, just needs time and experience
Who else is there?
We have a lot of project small link players, none with genuine speed
We let Mrakov go, he would be going ok now
We somehow failed with our talls selections but there is some upside if we are patient
Our list is looking pretty bad tbh

So we need to invest in some players and be patient with their development.
I feel Cumberland is one of those players on our list to invest time into.

The negativity of supporters is amazing.

Just wait until we hit the wall of considering trading our top players to regenerate our list, then the crying will really start.

At this stage it is going to get worse before it gets better.

So FT, do you think we should be playing Cumberland??

[The Machine]

WP said it perfectly. Take the goggles off he is not up to it.

It’s true. But, that’s probably unfair to say as it’s his first game for weeks. There’s plenty of others who have plenty more opportunities that were as bad or worse. It was just a little disappointing is all.

[Tigeritis™©®]

I can handle (barely) the goal misses, can almost handle the dropping of simply marks but I can't handle whe  blokes either pull out of contests or refuse to attack a contest.

He did both tonight, not that he was the only one I might add and it cost us.

Had a massive opportunity tonight to make a statement about where he wants to get to on his career and he blew it

Well there's a new one. Being called negative. I am usually called the opposite. But back to Noah.

I don't see the positives in his game that some here do. He seems to make the wrong choice most of the time and that's the biggest negative I have. As far as playing him, yep now go for it. Let him change my mind and prove I'm wrong. I'm generally happy to be proven wrong on these sort of things.

His fault we lost apparently....

Certainly not solely his fault we lost last night

He had 22 mates that joined that party. It was pathetic effort by the entire side.

I've backed him this year even defended him but last night after the first qtr he was so disappointing. Some of his 3rd qtr "efforts" were and I hate saying this non-competitive. But let me be clear he wasn't only one.

The bloke has all the skill in the world, that's not in dispute but question is quickly becoming does he have the will and desire to take that skill and make the most of it

I see with his stats he had 4 tackles. 3 of them were in the 1st half.

Just pointing out he would be the worst kick in the squad. Horrendous kick of the footy. He disrupts our game style, noting our game style is currently broken anyway but the point being, he has limited footy IQ and this point should send him packing.

He's usually a good kick for goal.

Had a shocker.

Jack missed easy ones too, also normally a good kick.

I'd play him the rest of the year before making a call because he is a proper forward, unlike Pickett.

Fluffy, the negative comment was not directed at you at all

Cumberland out and to miss the next two games due to concussion protocols.
