Noah Cumberland

medium utility
Brisbane Lions Academy/Allies.
Height 183cm
Weight 79kg
Birthday: March 15, 2001

DRAFT ANALYSIS: “Aggressive both with and without the ball, Cumberland is a midfielder/forward with a terrific mix of inside and outside traits.”

BRISBANE Lions Academy product Noah Cumberland showed great improvement this year at both Under-18 and senior level to throw his name into the hat as a potential top 40 pick. Originally a pressure forward, Cumberland has grown to have an impact up the field and excelled for the Allies during the National Carnival – crowned by his 18 disposals and two goals against South Australia. Cumberland’s impact also extends beyond the common stat line, with his defensive pressure, aggression around the ball and fend-offs all things which catch the eye of close watchers. The one-percenters helped Cumberland fit the mould of a role player, but his extended damage with ball in hand made him much more than that as the year progressed. His five-game experience against mature bodies in the Lions’ premiership-winning NEAFL side also bodes well, with Cumberland finding the goals in three of those outings. While the Lions will be happy to have produced another promising academy member, they may find themselves having to pay up in points come draft night.

STRENGTHS:

Agility
Speed
Footy smarts
Tackling/Aggression
Inside/outside mix

IMPROVEMENTS:

Accumulation
Kicking consistency

Cumberland’s National Draft Combine performance has propelled his value once again, finishing fifth in the 20m sprint (2.931 seconds) and eighth in the agility test (8.208 seconds). His speed shows on-field too as he breaks the lines on the outside and takes on his opponents at will. The agility aspect is more obvious in-close as Cumberland combines his power with being fleet of foot to bustle through congestion. Together, these elements make up much of the Maroochydore junior’s aggressive style of play, which is evident both with and without the ball. His willingness to take the game on and use his penetrating kick going forward is one aspect, while his bullocking style around the stoppages going both ways is the other. Cumberland’s average of almost five tackles per national carnival game is right up there, as is his ability to score in almost every outing and it gives him that desirable mix of inside and outside play.

While his effort and rate of improvement cannot be denied, there are still areas of improvement for such raw players, and especially ones who have spent time on the sidelines due to injury. Cumberland’s penetrating kick is definitely an asset – more than 50 per cent of his effective kicks are long – but it is those short, 45-degree kicks and overall lowering of the eyes that will make Cumberland a more complete forward mover. He is quite kick-happy and often does so on the end of bursting runs, so can become really damaging with some sharpening up, finishing the Academy Series with a 52.5 per cent kicking efficiency. The other area of improvement is building that consistency and finding the ball more often though, with Cumberland breaking the 10-disposal mark at NEAFL level just once – to his credit, in the Grand Final – and he has the potential to do so, as seen in his 26-disposal effort against Dandenong in the NAB League. He may well enter the elite level as a pressure forward, but has the scope to become an effective inside midfielder with some work.

Welcome to Richmond, Noah Cumberland

richmondfc.com.au
 Nov 28, 2019 8:31PM


Richmond has used its second selection (No. 43 overall) in the 2019 national draft to recruit left-footed forward, Noah Cumberland.

Here is a summary of what Richmond fans can expect to see from Noah on-field...

Club: Brisbane Lions Academy
Height: 183cm
Weight: 79kg

Noah was a member of the Brisbane Lions academy and had a breakout season after not competing at that level before this year. After his NAB league games he was selected and played all 4 games for the Allies before finishing his season with 5 games at senior NEAFL level including playing in the Lions premiership side. For the Lions he averaged 15 possessions and a goal a game and included 9 contested possessions, 4 clearances and 4 tackles per game. The highlight was a 26 possession game including 13 contested possessions against Dandenong when playing more of a midfield role.

His progress and improvement continued through the national carnival and he completed his carnival with a 18 possession and 2 goal game against SA playing a mix of half back and half forward. He averaged 7 contested possessions and 5 tackles per game across the carnival.

Noah has some exciting traits and is very early in his development clock having little exposure to the elite pathway before this year. He has elite speed and loves to tackle but also has some class with his penetrating left foot kick and goal sense. We look forward to him continuing to develop his football in our system in the coming years.

as I said in the other thread the fact that Brisbane weren't prepared to match with 59 is a big concern.
not writing the two boys off as draft picks but if they were up to standard Fagan and co. wouldn't have let them go.

42. Noah CUMBERLAND

Clubs: Brisbane Lions Academy/Allies

Position: Medium Utility

Size: 183cm, 79kg

Bio: A Daniel Rich clone, the Brisbane Lions Academy member might be the first player from the Queensland state that receives a bid, with his dash across the ground catching the eye of club recruiters. He isn’t just a zippy player, with Cumberland able to impact the play in the contest and lay fierce tackles. Cumberland played a variety of roles across the year, but might be best on the wing where he can break the lines and boot the ball long inside 50.

47. NOAH CUMBERLAND

183cm, 79kg, Allies/Brisbane Lions Academy, utility

Buckenara says: Cumberland is a Brisbane Lions Academy member who can play in a variety of positions but will be best suited as a rebound defender or outside midfielder at AFL level where he can use his speed to break the lines and kick the ball long inside 50 and be that 60-80m ball carrier.

Plays like: Daniel Rich

Stats: Disposals 11.0, clearances 2.3, tackles 4.5, pressure acts 17.0, goals 0.8, score involvements 2.5, ranking points 74
