Player Watch #38 Noah Cumberland

[UncleBob]

Easy enough to get goals when you’re sneaking out the back.

He’s uncompetitive in the air and allows his opponent to go third up and intercept every single week.

7 intercept possessions for Butts this week, 9 for Stewart last week when he manned him up. You just can’t afford to be unaccountable in modern footy.

I’m sorry but he’s not going to make it getting beaten like that each week.

Between those efforts and his lack of discipline which could have cost us the game I don’t think there’s a spot for him once we get a few back from injury.

Yeh I don't fully agree with your first point, kicking only 42, 49, 42, 44 points consecutive weeks suggest we don't get the easy ones out the back.

He's about as competitive in the air as every other small/medium forward (Bolton the exception) we have at the moment. Even the GOAT about to play his 300th can't compete in the air...

How is it remotely comparable to put him up against Stewart? I don't like him as much as the next guy, but he's been one of the best defenders in the league over the last few years. A bloke in what his 25th game is going to need a bit of time to develop.

But I do agree, his discipline does need work, but he's shown he wants to give it a crack.
If he can continue kicking goals and looking dangerous while minimizing the lapses - I'd keep him in.

I like the aggression and the fact that he's sticking up for his team mates. He just needs to channel that in a different way.

 

[Lacustrus]

He need’s to see a phycologist

Are your eyes glued on?

 

[beema limapep]

Right here. His goals have been cheap and opportunistic.
Won’t make it and only gets a game due to injuries.

Yeah but he's a total dreamboat

he kicked 25% of our score lmao

 

[beema limapep]

Let’s you wonder why we haven't played him all season and last season. Just kicks goals.

 

[lizard man]

Cumbo experience

 

[Boston tiger]

That snap from the ball up was a great goal.

 

[YeOldTiger]

Someone has to kick the cheap ones, especially when we haven’t been getting them all year.

If someone said before the game Cumbo will kick 3, you’d absolutely take it

They all count for 6 points in the race to 100

 

[Karp3_dm]

Why !!

3 Goals i think he showed great signs except that free that cost a goal but im ok with that atleast he showed passion tonight
Hope his confidence goes through the roof

Hear hear

Not even gonna bother here…

 

[YeOldTiger]

I live the aggression and the fact that he's sticking up for his team mates. He just needs to channel that in a different way.

Very good call

 

[YeOldTiger]

That's the Cumbo I want to see. Involved, creating, being a menace, defending madly, attacking decisively.

Cumbo has game.

 

[DickieKnee]

Was rapt when Cumbo fired up and gave that free away. We haven't had that intimidator in our FW since Caddy. We need that take no bullshit attitude.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

3 goals, can’t complain, building nicely

And negative 6 in the race for pick 2.

What was this bloke thinking kicking 3.

Yeh our last Pick 3 was the dud of the century lol

Playing his 300th dud game next week actually.

It's not the pick, it's the player.

 

[AstuteTiger]

That was a standard combo game - hit the score board, did some dumb shit, was ineffective in some contests

He’s a tease but should hold his spot

Lol should hold his spot he kicked the most goals for the team with 3. Ill rephrase it for you he definitely holds his spot

 

[AstuteTiger]

He is lucky we ended up winning. I'd still consider dropping him, he is mentally weak and you could see what he cared more about at a critical time of the contest.

Sure, he kicked three goals. Good on ya mate, but I'd rather play someone who actually gives a shit about the team.

Lmao he's the reason we won yes he made a big blew but we won.
Cumbo does give a shit. Guy tries his guts out and went back to the ressies to work on his game. He has never struck me as one who doesnt care.

 

[RJK Tiger]

This guy is a ****ing legend. Seriously - he is brilliant. I have absolutely no ****ing idea how he managed to kick 3 goals tonight. He is something concocted on Dr Moreaus island. Like Marty McGrath had a baby with Kayne Pettifer

You just play this guy, because the goals don't lie. He kicks goals. And we like goals.

So for the last ****ing time, i am going to say it

Play Balta down Back.

Play Cumberland down Forward.

The End.

 

[Madtiger2006]

He would have got a lot of confidence from set shot goal. He didn’t hook it finally

Exactly.
I’d love the next part of his game to use aggression to hold his ground and keep his feet . He does have a very bad habit of going to ground or being pushed aside leaving his opponent to just go free on the rebound on turnovers.
His goal kicking has never been an issue.
