It's certainly good to have such promising options.I still think Stack before Cumbo. And Judson's going to make a run at it at some stage too.

I agree.We should be having a look at him this season before we delist him. A decade ago would have played many games.
I hope we don't delist too many of these. We'll have a few oldies moving on, and opportunities will open up for those who are ready to graduate from long COVID-affected apprenticeships. We wouldn't want to see a gaping hole in the 21-23 year age bracket of our list.We should be having a look at him this season before we delist him.
Seems to kick Dusty/ Bolton style goalsAgainst Box Hill Cumberland took a big head knock falling from a marking contest into Jake Aarts. But he got patched up and worked back into it.
Jagged three. He's a bit scrappy at times but he slotted a beautiful goal under pressure. Can find the holes. Smart. Opportunistic. Effective.
He got up the park at times to get into his running game. Did well. Working up as George does these days.
Cumberland gave plenty and when we were well beaten he launched at an impossible spoil and almost pulled it off. That will be in his reel.
For those who are superstitious about such matters it is almost two years since his ACL. Now 21yo.
It's not in the script but he's a chance this week IMO.
George’s only wood at the moment is he can run all dayMy biggest question is about his tank. If he wants to take George’s spot… can he still be running as hard in the last 5mins as the first? Because that’s George’s one wood and for all his flaws (of which there are many), that’s as crucial as any skill in modern football. That skill allowed him to lay a smother and get into space and kick that crucial goal in time on last weekend.
That sounds like Jake Aarts. Aarts has always looked too good for VFL level but can be found at at AFL level.I’d give him a go but I think the things that are gonna hold him back are his lack of speed and finishing. Goes hard. Competes. But in a senior side that might already be considered a tad slow, not sure he’s a fit.
Cumberland could stand still in the goal square foe the most of the game, then run hard for the last 5 minutes. He would probably end up with a similar stat line to George.My biggest question is about his tank. If he wants to take George’s spot… can he still be running as hard in the last 5mins as the first?

May as well make Castagna the sub then.....he did not much for the first three quarters.My biggest question is about his tank.

Nearly as amusing as watching him playlol @ the Melts on Georgie.
Always amusing reading.
