out of a line-up.

If he can be a pressure forward then I'm all for it. Anything else seems pointless.

Delisted/Fringe player club

 

[Caj]

He’s a pacy midfielder but his body has never let him have a good shot at it

Not sure our medicos will do any better than Carlton’s

I don't think he ever played as a forward for a long period of time.

My knowledge of him is he is a good kick and fast. Body regularly fell apart

What sort of a role would we envision him playing for us though?

 

[BloodySwan]

Depth. His ability to play a number of roles is his plus but I don't think we see him as making our 23

 

[Caj]

If you read his player thread on the Blues board it looks like a long shot but worth investigating

Very highly rated wing/ half forward fast silky with great skills, able to hit the ball at extreme pace (Judd like!)

He should probably go to Brisbane though, their medicos seem to be able to work miracles

Do any of those roles specialise in defensive pressure or the contest?

He's a shorter version of Fox

 

[Bloods86]

Flanker

Who is David Cuningham?

Worth the punt talent isn’t questioned his body is

Plays mid fwd basically

Keeping the medical staff busy

The 27-year-old failed to play more than 12 games in a single season and managed just five appearances in 2024

 

[bedford]

Maybe not, but it still feels like an odd thing to be going onto another team's board to discuss.

Cochran is likely a 50+ pick or rookie draft selection. Dunno why another team's supporter would care.

And his troll post yesterday was about when they get Chad

 

[BloodySwan]

Posters get too focused on a recruits position. Players roles change to fit the teams needs

History will record this as the only point in time at which David Cunningham was compared to Chris Judd.

A truly momentous occasion.

LOL I’m only repeating what the Blues fans said

In fairness, if you watch his highlights he does move similar to Judd with that breakaway pace from the contest

 

[Tjblues]

Cuningham (yes with 1 n) is one of the great “what ifs” we’ve had over the last 8 years.

Supremely talented, skilful and quick.

Could never find consistency, body let him down countless times and when he was fit he was a guy who’d light up 5 minutes and then be anonymous for the rest of the quarter.

On talent he’s worth a spot, but I wouldn’t hold out hope he can stay on the park

Alas, 58 games in 9 seasons is Sam Reid-esque.

Perhaps our medicos are bored in a post-Reid world?

 

[caesar88]

Posters get too focused on a recruits position. Players roles change to fit the teams needs

The team's needs, IMO, are more players suited to the contest, players who offer defensive pressure, and tall forwards. I think any recruit who doesn't tick any of these boxes is not filling a need and actually risks becoming surplus to needs. So I don't think we can just discard the positions they've played. It informs who they are as players and what they can and can't do for us.

I agree. We have a very soft underbelly and often wilt under pressure, whether that's from teams like Tigers to the very best like Brisbane.

If he is not part of a team that has lost two Grand Finals in 24 months by 60 & 80 points then we'll take him.
At least he isn't head f k d.
That's a good starting point.

 

[Bloods86]

He's a shorter version of Fox

So a shorter version of someone who despite actually turning up in grand finals, would be out of most people's Best 22s (because we want to be successful apparently).

And to be clear, I think Fox is Best 22 if we're serious about winning a flag.

He spent 9 years at Carlton.

If that doesn’t mess with your head, I don’t know what will.
