I wasn't a fan of him coming in. But I think he's worth persisting with until we have better options.I would persist and tell him to loosen up and play his natural game.

Yep, should have been a freeSo he gets knocked on his arse, off the ball, unexpected contact by Redmond when the ball isn’t even in play
Obviously watch games with both eyes closed.That game tonight.... One of the worst I've ever seen from a Richmond player.
I would delist him tomorrow.
Could the coaches please ban him from trying to kick the bladder out of the ball?'Natural goal-kicker' misses multiple sodas. Has 6.14 for the year across V/AFL.
What we saw last night was the result of promoting an out of form, down on confidence, young player, and 100% validated the MC's call to leave him in the 2s until robbed of choice.
Not so good in the air? Reckon you are thinking of Ryan?Is ok when the ball is on the deck, not so good when it's in the air. Needs to improve his field and goal kicking. Didn't appear to drop his bundle or get down on himself which is a positive.
Should get a block of games, though I'm starting to think he's not going to make it.
AgreeLefau is 195 cms tall and built like a bull.
Ridley is 195cms tall you think Cumbo is going to outmark him? Blame the coaches for putting a 183 cm on a 195 cms. Just too big and strong.
I blame Tim LivingstonAgree
Why wasn’t Balta playing forward to hold the Bummers to account?
Instead we only had 1 tall Lefau and Ridley 195cm marked everything so it’s Cumbo fault he couldn’t outmark Ridley
I agree particularly over the last few weeks. Now I would prefer getting games into Green and smith.Tried, effort was good, finishing wasn’t there but what have we got to lose playing him?
There is nobody else.
Agree

Most pressure acts on stats.Come on man you can't be serious. Did you see Pickett's game last week, it was putrid. 5 disposals, and 4 turnovers. Gave away 5 free kicks.
Cumberland: 11 disposals. 3 tackles, 2 marks, 0.2
Cumbo tonight put on pressure and had the most pressure acts by any Richmond player (24).
But if I am to be honest he had an almost game. I do like Cumbo but thought he was so-so. Didn't use the ball too well. And missed 1 to 2 goals that he should've nailed.
You can see he is playing to the game plan, running patterns and not getting sucked into the play but I will say let's keep playing him and give him a decent block of games because atm he will be inconsistent due to his lack of senior experience (21 games).
Yeh, he is so scared of *smile* up that's all he did. Clearly overthinking everything. Had his head in his hands multiple times. Gotta get some mindfulness coaching, learn how to stay in the moment.'Natural goal-kicker' misses multiple sodas. Has 6.14 for the year across V/AFL.

He’s a bit all over the shop. Needs to find his kicking boots fast or he won’t survive especially with a poor aerial game. Mid sized forwards are a dime a dozen & only the exceptional ones make it.
I’d probably pick him again next week but the clock is ticking. He’s got to max these opportunities or will be in the exit lounge.
