Also led brilliantly to a Gibcus kick in the last quarter, would have marked about 30 out dead in front and he slipped. Ball sailed over his head and they cleared.
It just wasn't his night.

Also led brilliantly to a Gibcus kick in the last quarter, would have marked about 30 out dead in front and he slipped. Ball sailed over his head and they cleared.
It just wasn't his night.
Cumberland's interview with Flossy the day before showed how nervous he was. Watching him in the lineup for the anthem, he really looked nervous.
First final, weight of expectations, then throw in the first time his family and friends would have been there to watch him play in his home town and you can understand how a kid can get overawed.
No drama. We bloodied the kids in this Final to get them settled for the next finals. But we got fARC'd over so the next finals are 12 months away.

You always hope a kid will play like a champion in a final. But the pressure, the bigger bodies, the lack of time and space - always hard. Doing badly is, if not normal, then at least unsurprising. So yes - they can wear that pain for the home and away next year and build. "So that's what the standard is..." There are no shortcuts. You have to pay the Piper.
Unsure of his role with Dusty there too I reckon contributed. We need to sort out how they play together when Dusty is forward. Cumberland reads the play very well and can find space, Dusty can create space where there is none, we just need to sort out how their respective attributes can be used in tandem.

Sydney Stack take noteI'm excitedafter his break-out season I can't wait to see Cumberland in 2023 :

Yeah, we got one when we didn't expect (Noah) when didn't get one when we expecting (Sydney). As I said before, it's a win win for us, found a new young forward and have an opportunity to select someone with hunger and right attitude. As for Sydney, we all love this kid, I hope he does make it elsewhere.
Must be out of Melbourne looking at that skyI'm excited

I do that at my local pub 3 times per week
Cumbo's from the Sunshine Coast and he's training with this guy up thereMust be out of Melbourne looking at that sky
Yeah its fantastic seeing posts on Insta like that for Cumbo. Meanwhile, Stacky would do his usualy of sitting around the pool. Just 2 completely different attitudes and why 1 is on our list and why the other isn't.
Really excited for this guy.
You can see who thinks they belong or not, some take that 4-5 years or 70-100 games in the system to believe they're AFL standard.
Others believe early on. Martin, Judd, Ablett. You could tell Noah believed he belonged once given the chance.
What I like in his 8 games he 'played', he had one game with 7 shots, three games with 5 shots, a 4, and a 3. Six of his 8 games he had at least 3 shots or more.
His 19 goals in 8 games, is equivalent to 57 in 24 games (with a couple of finals thrown in).
Only four guys kicked more than that this year - Hawkins, Cameron, Curnow, Lynch.
They're all big, tall marking forwards, not 183cm flankers like Noah, Really good signs that for the future.
And with Taranto, Hopper, Martin, Bolton, D Rioli, Baker all capable off getting the ball to our forwards quickly, we could well have three, maybe Shai can make it four players with 50+ goals next year!!
That would be freaking amazing to get three to 50, let alone four!!

Correct ! Thank god there are posters on here who understand what’s required to be an AFL player
This kid can be really special. I'm still shocked that Brisbane didn't match the bid, what were they thinking?
