Damian Cupido. Let's get him here!!!!!

I know Cupido is being judged on history, and that is probably fair enough, but has anyone before making judgement bothered to ask whether he has improved his attitude playing at the lower level this year?  Sometimes a young guy thinks that they are untouchable, and they get a shakeup when they are delisted and no-one else picks them up.  Could this be the case with Cupido, I dont know myself how his attitude has been this year, does anyone else?

Personally only question I would have is at 27 years old next year, is this the age of player we are looking to pick up for the future?  As a PSD pick it might be worthwhile, depending on what else is available.

Cupido will be 25 next March, not 27.
 
Dudes, this must be a hoax. I am in SA, watched him play VS Glenelg last week - he is out of shape and hardly got a kick. Not only that but he has a 5 cent head - he was easily baited into giving away a 50m penalty at one stage. Someone who DID impress in the same game was Aaron Davey's brother (Alwyn??), who also plays for South Adelaide. He carved Glenelg up with is pace, and used the footy pretty well too. The step up from SANFL to AFL is great, but he looked the goods. He is 22, so he's still not a kid, but he can play a bit.

I'm with u judge i'd rather go with some like Alwyn.At least rookie or psd.
Remember aaron was rookied and came straight in and dominated.At the age where he's should be fully developed as far as body goes and u would know in one year whether he's good enough.

thanks for that & probably worth investigating further about Davey's brother. Stuff Cupido just not worth it a young reject from 2 clubs any thought of getting him is ludicrious.
 
cupido`s terrible attitude and work ethic is the last thing a developing side like ours needs,it would spread through the team like a cancer.
i don`t think you can compare tucky being overawed and not making the most of his opportunities to cupido, who had all the talent in the world and was given chance after chance at essendon and blew them all. we should avoid him like the plague
 
this is a joke .yes . :rotfl....... Damian Cupido. Let's get him here!!!!!NOT no way nah

This guy is absolutely carving them up in the SANFL. They're even taking the SANFL to the supreme court to overturn a 1 week suspension to allow him to play in the finals this week.

I reckon we should seriously look at getting him to punt road. Loaded with talent and an amazing physique.

This isn't one of your better suggestions Ita Buttrose.
 
Think Cupido is stamped as damaged stock by all and sundry in the know but the PSD will reveal all.

Think the days of clubs trying to ressurect wayward types are diminishing rapidly.
 
Mathews couldn't get stupido to put in, so they sold him to Essendumb.
Sheedy couldn't get him to put in, so they sold him to the SANFL.
He's been playing some good footy in Adelaide, looks like he has found his niche.
Leave him there.
 
25y.o is he worth a shot. Maybe a year by year contract will force him to put in every year, because that way he wont just put in for the first year of a contract to trick us into signing a *smile* contract and getting stuck.
 
I know this is a great site, but why we would Cupido be interested in posting about the Tigers?
