Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben - defender or forward? CC T5 in the AFL for avg.intercept marks p/game - re-signed until end of 2027

[The Nostradamus]

We need to keep persisting and pump games into him

Structured our list management around this guy

 

[AnEmptyChair]

he got through and honestly that's enough for now. the Dogs defence is on a completely different level to anything he's come up against before.

 

[the big lebowski]

Geez that was a bad game from him. I wasnt expecting the world first up but giving away so many frees through frustration was ……… frustrating

 

[r_boy]

Putting too much pressure on himself.

 

[The acurate one]

Eggsactly Empty, a great result hasn’t missed a beat and will continue to improve.
One of a handful I’m not concerned with

 

[zoomba23]

He's probably wondering why the Dogs' defence wasn't the same standard as the North training defence. His disappointment is understandable

 

[Makeshift Park]

I wanna see this guy succeed, he's got a lot of likeable qualities, but let's be honest: he was the single least effective player we fielded all game.

He has also played 2 games with a history of injury concerns. We can at least give him a chance. I'm sure his late mother would be grateful.

 

[franjon]

Apart from that, we don't have seven foot forwards who can jump. So we have to settle for the 6.6" ones who can.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Stop piling on the bloke. He’s young, skinny and inexperienced. He’s also a key forward which take a while to develop. Don’t come back on this thread when he has a good game and start praising him. Support the guy ffs.

Settle down, I'm sure his late mother was a fine person who would be proud of how he's battled adversity. Its nothing personal.
The list management panel have clearly decided that we don't need any KPF depth this season, given that we could only find 2 spots for KPFs in a list of 44 or so players.
There's really no one, except at a stretch CCJ, keeping him accountable. And that's a problem.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Was a non entity until a couple of nice bits of play in the last two mins.

At least he provides a contest.

looks at Larkey

 

[susurrar]

im no less bullish about this guy. if he stays fit, were going to see something special.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Yep 2018. The season before it all ended.

If you get him to the club now, you stick him there from day 1.

It's a lazy comparison but when Aliir Aliir lit up the backline at the Swans, it should have been the no shit Sherlock moment for our coach. Who still didn't take the hint.

 

[r_boy]

I'm still bullish he just needs to think about what he's doing a touch more. Experience will help

lol this is such a weird post considering Chom was completely ineffectual and Larkey was our most dangerous forward

I’m all for lazy comparisons.

 

[amaz199]

I want to see what he's capable of at Marvel.

He showed a bit in his last game and I think he can at least trouble bottom teams.

The Larkey reference was relating to the contest portion of my post.

Agree .
Chom is no where near it .
Lucky if could get a game for Frankston pines

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

The bloke had a rough day but obviously we are not going to write him off. Give him a little patience. If it clicks for him, we are on our way.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Extremely hard on himself which bodes well for him eventually making it. Was visibly filthy anytime he got beaten. I didn’t even mind him giving away the frees he did because it showed he cared and wanted his opponent to feel his presence.

Patience……
That’s the problem with our club .
We put up with mediocre performance s, in the hope of improved performance.
This guy will never make it ….
Next!

 

[zoomba23]

Alright who forgot to give Ross his sedatives

So, isn't that why we should be backing him?
