Probably not, but a forward line with him, Bauer, Clarke as a permanent forward pocket, Rioli jnr once his hamstring is right, Dusty, Bolton & Jack and the second ruck occasionally (but not Miller) would be the best we can do with current player stocks.Do we win if he plays?

Can’t play Cotchin, Graham and Mansell up there any longer. Too slow and ineffectual. Cotch should be sub to get him to 300 & play midfield minutes when he is on.
MJ may be right for this week. Need speed in our forward line, stop the opposition running out comfortably.Nailed it
Cumberland is only in squad at this stage so not yet back but he better be, enough is enough even though I didn't mind him going back to get some more schooling if we get back a more rounded player but right now we need someone who can kick some #*#*%*! goals.Cumberland sausage is back, I hope he snags 3 or 4 goals.
Yes, a bit presumptuous of me, surely he's at least the sub.Cumberland is only in squad at this stage so not yet back but he better be, enough is enough even though I didn't mind him going back to get some more schooling if we get back a more rounded player but right now we need someone who can kick some #*#*%*! goals.
Agree, however just curious about Cumbo's apparent lack of defensive efforts. Why are no questions being asked about Mansell, Jack Graham and even Cotch's apparent lack of attacking endeavours when they seemingly our forwards who are supposed to kick goals. Defensive pressures are fine when we are winning but are we proving anything when we only get beaten by a goal or so thanks to this pressure when it makes no difference on the ladder.I've said it before I got no problems with him working on his weaknesses , but the same application hasn't applied to other players.
We botched it with him this year was there problems with Dimma who knows , but you can't have your most talented half forward playing vfl with the state of our forward line mystifying.
Tough call. Got two free kicks, had an opportunity for a chest mark running back dropped it but it was his speed and anticipation that gets him into those positions.They've scrambled his brain.
Playing with fear of failure, high expectation and devoid of all the natural instincts he played with last year.
That shot on goal from 4m out was the sign of a confused player.
Won’t play seniors next week based on todays performance. Disappointing for the kid
Didnt do much.
Noticeably with the game on the line the sub with fresh legs was on the bench.
Still needs to work and do the team thing
He wasnt particularly involved. Only on the ground for the laat quarter.As someone who didn't get to watch the game, what team things do you think he needs to do?
Brad Johnston?Tough call. Got two free kicks, had an opportunity for a chest mark running back dropped it but it was his speed and anticipation that gets him into those positions.
Yes the polish wasn’t there coming back into the team and beginning in the last quarter of a hot game. Didn’t play last week either?
Can’t hang him for that miss, nobody else gets hung.
Brad Johnson 380 games objective opinion with 11 minutes left on the clock-
‘gee Cumberland is a dangerous forward, very dangerous…’
That is based on what he saw in first half of that last quarter.
He was commenting on what he saw in first half of last quarter - he was thereBrad Johnston?
The guy who never watches our games?
Next you’ll be agreeing with his rolling AA squad
