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]

Happy with Comben being our McKay replacement

B: Nyuon Corr McDonald
HB: Sheezel Comben Fisher

Goater rotating off the bench

Logue to come back mid year to push corr to third tall

Up the other end it’s CCJ vs Finnbar for the CHF/resting ruck spot

 

[koshari]

Or CCJ fulfils his potential.

he already has!

It just occurred to me Charlie is a giant Taylor Garner

Did he get in trouble for punching a bloods player over a nice refreshing glass of coke too?

The move back isn't terrible but with Biggie and Pink, I hope that they get the opportunity to prove themselves and leave open the possibility of Charlie moving forward.

I think pink is just break glass in case of emergency and will just be vfl unless we get an injury to comben or corr

Biggie has upside and could be that athletic intercepting third tall

I'd replace Nyuon with Kal Dawson.

It all comes down to not giving up 65 to 70 inside 50's a game, if we can do that I think we have the cattle to do a job.

The constant unpressured turnovers between the centre and HB lines need to be significantly reduced.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Not ecstatic about the move back given our tall deficiencies up forward and CCJ’s concussion worries. However, spending 12 months learning how defenders play has some development benefits.

Still a natural chf for mine.

underselling Pink.

Pink’s form in the state leagues is far superior to Biggie. Pink is a more natural defender and is already accomplished as an interceptor.

Biggie has stacks of upside because of his athleticism but he has a long way to go and seems to drift in and out of games.

It can only be about getting games into him.

I know we have plenty of options up forward to help Larkey, and don’t pick up any tall defenders with McKay leaving but………

Oh wait, I got that around the wrong way.

Pink's skills/talent as a defender >>>>>>>> Comben's.

I think big Chom was equality as ecstatic about being tried in defence

If we thought Robbie was a gun backman. This guy will be 1.5 times the player of Robbie as a defender (if he stays injury free) his aggression in the contest is palpable, you can feel that white line fever plus he was a good forward which as the great 75%’r suggests.. he’ll be a ****ing Brilliant Key Position Defender

Nuh uh mate. The ability to play forward and then move back. All you need is balls. And Comben has balls! He’ll be reading that pill and write it in a picture story for Buckets to understand

 

[DuckYeah]

In typical NMFC fashion, what was initially suspected of being a 10-12 week injury turns into 7 months.

Whats the point when you should have had the number one pick? Season was cooked. There is absolutely no point. We should have put more players on the extended injury list, we should have forfeited the last game because everyone risked long term injuries and concussion issues.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've got the status of both players flipped upside down with Pink starting Rd 1 and Biggie needing to show more than he has in the Tigers VFL.

Biggie will be lucky to play 5 games before being delisted. Nothing there for me. Its a blind shot at the dart board from 80 metres out, a hail mary shot. All he is, from Norths perspective is last minute cover. And that is it.

Also, Chom can be a pretty intimidating bugger.

It won't take long for key forwards to start second guessing about whether they're going to find themselves at the wrong end of one of his sudden bone-crunchers.

Oh yeh, he doesn’t mind a sneako cheap one to the ribs! He has a little old school dirtyness about him which I love.

 

[amaz199]

Don't mind this.

Definitely feels like the Tarrant move but Tarrant was a full back in his junior years.

He'll have concrete hands during the start of the year but he will adjust pretty quickly. Bit like Tarrant did. Went from slipping them to clunking them like a behemoth.

 

[DuckYeah]

The Nostradamus theres nothing there in a footballers perspective. Nothing, nada, not a footballers bunghole. Be lucky to be on $300 a game in the WRFL.

With Comben, Corr and Pink starting the year, Kallan Dawson's heart has just sunk. Again.

Any particular reason you're confident Pink gets selected before Dawson mate?

Just on his role at training. Also I don't reckon they've signed the best KPD in the SANFL to come here and play 2's.

How well he goes and how long he lasts is anyone's guess.
