38. Noah Cumberland

Tough night to cap off a remarkable back-end to the season. Pounced on a loose Darcy Gardiner kick and snapped a goal to give Richmond the lead late in the second term. That was about it.

Richmond’s national recruiting manager Matthew Clarke has taken great pride in the impact Noah Cumberland had at senior level for the Tigers during the second half of the 2022 season.

By the end of the season, the 21-year-old, left-foot, medium-sized forward had booted 19 goals and stamped himself as a hot prospect at the game’s highest level.

“He’d been doing it at VFL level for a bit of time . . . kicking his twos and threes (goals), but probably never having a huge breakout game,” Clarke said on the final episode for the year of the Club’s podcast Talking Tigers.

“It was really exciting to see and really pleasing for Noah.

“He’s been through a bit since he got here with a knee injury (an ACL) . . .

“He’s always been able to get himself fit and train and prepare, but he just needed that little opening.

“He got it and was able to run with it.

“It added a different sort of dynamic to the forward line.”

RICHMOND

Noah Cumberland

Forcing your way into Richmond’s line up and holding that spot has been a tough feat for youngsters in years gone by. But Noah Cumberland showed plenty of class in his nine-game debut season (with one of those as the unused medi sub). After coming into the line up for Round 17, Cumberland held his own in an attack end featuring the likes of Jack Riewoldt and Tom Lynch. Coach Damien Hardwick even praised the 21-year-old as “Leigh Matthews” like, and labelled him “incredible” despite being “a little bit raw”. It’s clear Cumberland has the willingness to learn and work hard at his game, as he’s seen at the club with note-pad in hand. He looms as the likely long-term replacement for Riewoldt beyond 2023.

Replacement for Riewoldt?

Eh

He's a good 10cm shorter. Not exactly my idea of a key forward size.

Looks a player though, hope he goes to another level or at least maintains it next year.

Something about left footers, they look a million bucks kicking.

Love watching Tivendale and Bowden in full flight too.

It is not unusual for a young player in his second year of seniors to fall off, but from what I saw Noah is primed and will not only avoid the second year blues but will catapult into another level. He looks focussed and ready to go.

I really hope so. It's a big worry for any kid.

Being picky here but while it will be his second year of seniors if they pick him its actually his third season in the system thus it would be hard to get the second year blues.

Just needs to keep working on his kicking because most other areas are pretty good.

I think kicking is a strength myself. Especially in front of goal.

Good mark too.

Just need to make sure he didn't have a purple patch like Towner then go missing.

His kicking is quality. Almost every possession of his was decent quality last season. Only game he didn't perform well in was the final but he wasn't horrible.
