Now that we've secured Cumming can anyone explain to me where he fits in our team and what he's good at?

7 games this year, basically no highlights videos, can't even find any draft videos from back in 2016, dropped mark late in their last attacking play this year. What's the thinking?
Go away.

I reckon they'd done it long before we heard about it. Their choice of announcement was bewildering. Was it bedwetting? possibly.
There is no positive way you can look at the club jumping the shark to reappoint Nicks.

Remember this says everything about how poor our key decision makers are at the club... which is the biggest reason why our club continues to not contend.
 
Bed wetters are the supporters who find a negative view of anything that happens, and get upset about things that haven't even happened yet.

Happy clappers are those who call in defending the boys, no matter how they've played or what they've done.

The club is a mix of mostly competent people trying to improve, and sometimes taking as many steps back as they do forward.

BigFooty is mostly a group of well informed posters and a place you can normally get accurate info, so it's pretty valuable - sometimes it just gets VERY emotional ...
I would strongly disagree that the club contains mostly competent people in the key roles.

Imo, we have a very weak board & senior management compared to successful clubs.
 
If Houston leaves and they don't get a replacement, then yeah.

Houston - out
Solo - out
Lord - being chased by two vic clubs
Dixon - Retired
McKenzie - Retired
Marshall - concussion shakey ground
Boak - will struggle with another year

Both Perryman and Ted Richard’s likely to reject port.

There depth wasn’t great this year, next year it looks worse
