Finished 7th in the Syd.

 

[archereleven]

7th in the Syd is great, but 19 games in a season for Chom is priceless...

Sounds like an AMEX ad lol

 

[shinboner magic]

Give him a year as a forward and then make the decision on where he performs best

Charlie mentions the artery surgery he had in this video. JUH landing on him caused one of his arteries to clog up in his leg.

What a truly odd injury.

What a truly odd injury.

Comben not finding new ways to get injured challenge impossible.

 

[zoomba23]

His ability to find new and exciting ways to get injured is ridiculous. Whose arteries ****ing clog up after being landed on during a game of football? Ffs

Maybe we can get the club extra funding if we let some researches study the big lad?

Finally a way to replace the cash from the Tasmanian games!

He is going to benefit a lot from darling’s experience and knowledge. Particularly for leading patterns and contested work.

All he needs is his body to hold up.

defence for mine! I see him as a potential AA intercept defender, but I don’t see him as a potential AA key forward especially with his poor set shot goal kicking.

75% accuracy in 2024

That include ones that were OOF or didn't make the distance?

Comben is a specimen… but then you look in the background and realise how players from other teams attack the weights room.

Yep, he will be one to buck the trend and become a massive unit. He will be huge by the time he’s 22-23.

Who's your second key forward then? Larkey's 27 this year. Given how much time it takes for key forwards to develop, Larkey could be 30 before he has a reliable partner. That seems like a brilliant way of shooting the team in the foot during a period in which it should be rapidly climbing the ladder.

I'd take reduced individual output for a player if it enabled an increase in overall benefit for the team every day of the week

Darling for the 12-18 months. By which time I’m hoping someone like Maley has really come on or we’ve gone and traded for one.

If Will Dawson comes on faster than expected then I’ll have no issues with swinging Comben forward. For the time being though we are too exposed in the back half against those key forward with genuine height (196cm+). Logue and Corr both struggle against those types

Isn't that Eddie Ford in the background with shoulders like Luke Parker.

Ford looking super fit. 1 year contract has had the desired effect
