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

[justroyal]

I reckon logue would be a better chf. The way Charlie plays the last line of defence is ridiculous

Left field suggestion but what about Biggie forward? Has he played the role?

Some for Richmond VFL - they sent him back

Pink has played plenty of football as a forward.

Interesting, he doesn’t strike me as having the natural attributes for it like I could see Biggie having. The cupboard is indeed pretty bare.

Yeah, pre-recorded.

As expected, spoke very well, deserves a decent injury free run at it, go well Chom

Great interview. I really hope this kid's injury issues are behind him and he gets a decent run at AFL football, he looks to be a tremendous talent and could be a major player either back or forward in future years.

Reminds me of Robbie Tarrant.

Similar career structures, forward perpetually injured then moved back and become a star.

Yeah, I was going to make mention of that myself, but I thought I'd be laughed off the forum because he has only played two games down back (and not many more up forward), so it's nice to see someone else thinks the same thing.

AFL's website taking the piss. Love it.

Took him 2 games to accomplish numbers Magoo Mckay couldn't do in several seasons.

If that's not an indictment on the true skill ceiling of this bloke I don't know what is, the only good thing he ever did was fool everyone into thinking he was worth over 1mil

Would not be against him getting ruck time.

I think he has a huge leap and it goes unnoticed.

Please no, not with his injury record.

Tarrant had none of his intensity and desire for the contest.

 

[Passmore]

Ruck, forward....he looks like he could be genuinely A grade down back...can we just be happy with that?

Underestimating Robbie on that front.

Charlie's looking good in defence though. Competes in the air like a man possesed

I’m definitely happy with Chom down back…. Just don’t want to lose him altogether

 

[WesternRoo]

The only way he would go forward is if Larkey went down

Maybe why Clarko was not to worried about drafting a KPD since he has arrived. Might be a bit more switched on than quite a few posters on here think Not referring to you in this post.
