I wasn't a fan of him coming in. But I think he's worth persisting with until we have better options.

Was a fan of his
Unfortunately unless he is going to try and put his hands on a high ball and make it a contest he can be moved on
Needs to stop talking to himself on the ground
Where is Emma Murray when you need her ?
Would be a good challenge for Emma

Persist.
Adds speed to the front 50
1 day he will once again kick a bag.
He looks like he is trying too hard.
Just Relax Jack

'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.

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.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Could the coaches please ban him from trying to kick the bladder out of the ball?
Agree
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.
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.

Cumbo doesn't have to outmark Ridley. Contest and get the ball to ground.
THats the expectation.
Pickett had a similar role. Mansell does it. Castagna did it and helped win premierships.
something Cumbo has to improve on.
FWIW At times we had Ryan forward so we did play 2 talls at stages.
Most pressure acts on stats.
But at the ground I didn't see a major influence with the pressure.
AT times he was caught flat footed as his oppo ran it out, he duly chased but didn't shut off the outlet.
Gotta concentrate 100%.
To be fair that happened to all players, so i'm not criticising.
I just don't see that 24 pressure acts gave a lot or made an impact to our game.
Overall he was average.
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.
But his goal kicking is a real worry. That bullet pass to KMac was a thing of beauty but everyhting else was cinderella after midnight.
Does find himself in some dangerous spots.
The same should be said to Balta who just tries to kick it as far as possible unfortunately many times into the hands of the bombers
Thats a fair call need to see whether he can get to being the player we have seen in the past. Thought last week v Lions he showed a lot and was our best forward. Last night was so-so so but to put him on Ridley was just plain and utterly stupid.
We have given Mansell many games when I have thought drop him due to many mediocre games. So i say the same for Cumbo give him more games, because if he can't take his chance fully then back to the ressies and as you know I say this about many players who seem to get games but aren't playing to the level.
Campbell, I liked his game last night but previous 7 he was goalless. Played higher up the ground and was a link-up player who used his speed to run the lines.
