Cumberland was terrible yesterday- most disappointing is the only word. As Dimma said, he has some things to work on to make him a better player. This would include not being so selfish and defensive running being added to his game. Nail this and he could be something special.
And yet he was superb in the 8 games he played last year. You want a goal kicker then you want them to be just a bit selfish.
Have seen nothing wrong with his defensive running when in the seniors.
Reckon its a bit of the Dimma said so so it must be so mentality.
Keep going the way we have Cumberland will be another who will just want to play somewhere else. Reckon anyone would be deflated in Cumberlands shoes Just about every one bar Dimma thinks he should have been picked.
8 goals from 66 fwd entries we don't hear dimma talk about that do we. And where was all this so called defensive poo from Mansell who replaced him..
Really wish posters would look for themselves rather than just following what the club puts out.
Hardwick was copping it over not selecting Cumberland and he comes up with the oh we think he has to work on a few things line to justify the decision.
Watch is what I do and did that's how I ascertained he was very ordinary in his performance Thursday. You need team balance as you can't have too many who don't run defensively- it's worked well enough for 3 flags since 2017 
The practice match against the Dees a few weeks ago, Jack was trying to direct him all game, both positioning and set ups. It was compelling viewing as Jack was getting somewhat frustrated at the continued bad positioning by Noah. I think he needs to study the game plan
Again, at the game Mansell played his role as requested. This is not to say he can't be replaced, it's saying he played his role as a team player.
Just made me chuckle so much. Clearly you have not been watching and are placing your opnion on a micky mouse practice game and what ever the coaches are saying at the time..
Lol team balance ive heard it all now and its hilarious you bring up JR having another tantrum in a practice game.
what you didnt like Cumberlands positioning in the 8 cracking games he played last year. That positioning enabled him to average well well well 2.4 goals a game and also enabled him to lay some cracking tackles. There was no talk about about a lack of defensive pressure because there was no lack of pressure.
Fair dinkum talk about someone who is doing nothing but listening to what the coach is saying rather then opening their eyes and having a proper look for themselves.
Go ahead and judge players on practice games if you like but most of us will happily judge em on what they do in the real stuff.
Most of us can tell when Coaches are deflecting as well. Dont believe a word they say you will be much better informed if you do.
