Is it a plane ? Is it a car? Is it Yaabbbblett? No, it’s Cumbo!!!!

Does it get any more epic here on PRE? Cucumberland must be feeling the heat from the PRE gang this weekend.

About *smile* time
Now let’s see if they give Cumbo a block of games and treat him like everyone else

So let's see. Replayed a couple of decent halves at VFL level. Then he got a game. Shock horror.
All up to him, as it always has been.

Sub. 3 touches.
All posters are up in arms. He didnt get enough game time! No he's still in his head! Argh! Argh! Farce! Fake!

Yeah I can see this.

"Why have him in the 1's if he's sub, may as well have played VFL"

It’s more than some others have done being gifted games in the big league without being dropped for their poor form

Option 1: Cumbo plays a full-game. Goes Boonta; Kicks 6 and we win!
Option 2: Cumbo starts as sub; but is injected into the game tactically and plays a significant role in the win as an energizer bunny tackling machine.
Option 3: Cumbo plays like poo and we lose.

This is a line you've trotted out a lot. Still haven't seen real evidence there's favouritism at play.

Option 3 doesnt exist... we aint gunna lose!

You serious? Banks, Lefau in his first 3 games, Mansell, Campbell and even Junior who didn't have any decent form in the preseason to warrant being picked in the senior side. Lefau to his credit has stepped it up and is playing a lone hand in the forward line and is showing a bit.

Junior last week was not good v Freo but in the previous 3 games, he was quite good. Mansell and Campbell have been dog average for the previous 4 and 6 games respectively but still find themselves in the side.

Just let him bloody play. See ball get ball.

That's against team rules these days. Not allowed.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: “Aggressive both with and without the ball, Cumberland is a midfielder/forward with a terrific mix of inside and outside traits.”

Come on Cumbo! Rip it to shreds, mate!

Mansell and Cumberland - The new Krakouer Brothers

You forgot Kosi had barely touched it in VFL before picked. Not arguing against the selection, just pointing it out

I really don't understand how people who follow footy closely enough to post on a footy forum can fail to understand that coaches will be giving players instructions and will reward those who follow those instructions, or at least try to, and won't reward those who don't.

Now obviously most of us don't know what these instructions are, but I think it is reasonable to assume they more heavily influence selection than coaches playing favourites, or Tim Livingstone being an evil overlord.

Cumbo was tearing it up in pre-season? I missed that

Hope he’s given a decent go and It’s all upto Cumbo to perform

So the instructions under coach number 3 are the same
Mansell just chase backsides all day don’t worry about kicking goals leave that to others
How’s that worked out for us?

Good luck Snags, I hope you snag a few sausage rolls.
