MRJ 22 games No. 51, 2020 AFL draft
NC 16 games. No. 43, 2019 AFL National Draft: Richmond
one has played 6 more games and has done SFA in my opinion apart from being lazy at this stage of his career, but we better not criticize
Nice try though.
Throw in Cumberlands early seasons were basically ruined thru injury.
Im accused of being stubborn pig headed and locked in and won't change.
Sheesh plenty of others are far more guilty than me.
They are guilty of far worse and that is being blinkered when it comes to what the club may have got wrong nd gets wrong.
When Noah finally overcame his knee issues last year he forced his way into the team on the back of kicking goals in the vfl and by the way from what i saw there was nothing wrong with the defensive part of his game.
Yep he got into the team and who could possibly complain about his first 8 games which is officially 9 games as he was sub in his first game and did not get on the ground.????.
Sub first actual game game got on early and kicked 2.3 in what was a great debut.Not a lot of disposals or tackles but he still should have kicked 4. and of the ten disposals, he had to win 6 of em for himself. he looked great not just offensively but defensively.
second game 3.4, 4 tackles 7 i50's 9 c/p with good game time fmd a kid kicking goals and tackling and applying pressure.
Third game only 1.1 but 6 tackles 4 i/50 and 7 c/p. who said he is defensively poor. it was a lie.
4th game against brisbane not a lot of ball but fmd kicks 5 straight and lays 3 tackles only the one i/50 but half of his disposals are contested.
I can go on but wtf needless to say probably his worst game for the year was the elimination final. Having kicked 5 against them last time they were going to put some work into him.
He had a quite one but still managed to hit the scoreboard and only had just over 2/3 game time.
Just my opinion but the club have mishandled him poorly ever since. I think the club are still stuck on something that worked for us 4 yrs ago but is clearly a player wrecker and no longer the way the game is. Some supporters defend this when there are so many examples of playing just defensive fwds is no longer enough.
