Won’t want to look at the tape. Lots of sooking, arms flapping, non chasing… that 50 against him cost us a goal. Plenty to like though… but plenty to work on.

Welcome Noah Cumberland
- Thread starter Berwick boy
- Start date
Yep - welcome to the real game son. You’ve got the tools, now time to do some work to dominate this part of the season.
I think he'll get to work. They may have to disable his access to Punt Road so he takes time off.
Yeah wasn’t great but allowances for his inexperience ,
In a way he reminds me of a young jack in his personality , mix of skills and excitement levels , jack had a few of these in the beginning too
After a fantastic purple patch of games was probably the most disappointing of our kids & genuinely appeared overawed by the big stage. His skills somewhat deserted him & not sure who his opponent was but they did an awesome job.
Hopefully it steels him to improve over preseason.

Agree ToO.
First time also playing with Dusty in the forward line who might have taken his role would have made it awkward as well.
Good point. Perhaps felt like he didn't want to get in Dusty's way.
Could he evolve into a part time mid? I think he has the smarts and agility.
Yes an excellent point.In a pregame interview with Vlastuin it was joked by Nick what Noah would do if Dusty asked him to clear out. Said he probably would..he may have been a little bit intimidated because of the great man's presence.
The reality is Cumberland thrived because of opportunities in Dusty's absence. They play a similar role these days late in Martin's career. Going forward here's hoping it can work better..
Great year for Lazer Beam. Rapt we have him and cant wait to see how he goes next year.
I reckon he would have struggled to back up again the following week. After the hit to the shoulder he couldnt raise his arm properly on the affected side.
Shame to end his season this way but had a magnificent past 6 weeks. Has locked away that medium forward role and reckon he could have the ability to wander into the midfield next year and beyond. Played all his NAB LEAGUE as a midfielder
I reported that in the final training session that Cumberland clutched his shoulder in what appeared agony so maybe he went into the game with a slight shoulder issue?

He fumbled at least three times that I can recall. If he was cleaner, at each of those times, he was moving well and heading towards goal. Game of millimeters between looking good and playing his worse game.
Nerves and/or shoulder impacting.
It was a classic choke to me. Bet he thought about it too much before going out there. Very fixable.
