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 acurate one]

Manic attack at the footy is manic attack at the footy, whether he plays back or forward it comes with the same risk.

Glad he got a good run of games in this year and hope he comes back even better next year.

Yes I look fwd to him monstering opp defenders and clearing a path for the boys.

Absolute liar! I have been reliably informed he is safer down back. His shoulder, ankle and concussion was because we thought we might move him forward at some point.

 

[ChairmanZia]

Why did we not rest him for the final 2 games?

 

[perplexed]

That was very courageous, but also very stupid. If you are going back with the flight you can't leave yourself that wide open. He needs to learn to get off the ground and turn his body to protect himself or he won't have a very long career.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

I keep hearing he went to hospital with a calf? That can’t be right, surely assessing a possible fracture or something, not a calf?

Agree, love the bloke and his intent at the ball, but he needs to learn to be a bit smarter about it.

 

[giantroo]

He is fine, no damage chance next week

He was concussed as well. 12 days protocol.

 

[Mordecai]

Surprise to me

 

[gokangas]

Was that confirmed?

Reckon the eye test has shown this to be the case. Good at intercept marking, still learning how to defend.

Yeah I swear he hobbled off badly as well as being concussed lol

If Carey or Jono Brown were in that exact position they would’ve leapt high with knee raised and shoulder at the ready to both protect themselves and take out the defender, all while keeping eyes on the pill.

Chom’s stay on the ground and reach out for the ball in the face of a looming collision was suicidal.

Hopefully he learns over the Summer.

He was definitely concussed and the hospital stay overnight was for both that and for scans on his lower leg.

Exactly. Need to get Duck or Arch back to teach the correct technique. If you stay on the ground in that situation, not only are you more likely to get hit in the head but your legs will get bent the wrong way if you are hit below your centre of gravity. Chom had every part of his body at risk.

In for shoulder surgery.

In for shoulder surgery.

Are we tanking this week?

 

[The acurate one]

Are we tanking this week?

Well I suspects the Tiger wins, as GC have the cue in the rack.

We won't have Sheezel, Comben, Goater & Logue.

So no we're not tanking

 

[zoomba23]

At least he saved his yearly nasty injury quota for the end

 

[Limerick]

Are we tanking this week?

How will we know

 

[Samsquanch]

Well I suspects the Tiger wins, as GC have the cue in the rack.

Do the GCS Suns do that regularly?

We won't have Sheezel, Comben, Goater & Logue.

So no we're not tanking

But we will have LMac, Zurhaar, Curtis and Ford so you never can tell.

You predicting another GC we're off to Cancun game?
With the Bolton trade speculation the wind might well and truly be knocked out of the El Tigres sails as well.
Might be a game between two disinterested teams lol.

The Suns would be advised to get the cue out of the rack for a prolonged period.

There is no way in hell Dimma will be letting them lose this game, regardless of who it’s against, but especially against Richmond.

I reckon then Gold Coasters personally wont give a fig newton. And the Tiger will want to shove in up their ex coach.

But we will see

Can confirm.
