personaly i would delist cumbo
if there were no interest from 17 other clubs
i would invite him back to be a permanent vfl player
the players love him and he has a genuine love for his team mates
would be great to keep at the club but not on the senior list
then if he really tares it up he can be an option for mid season draft { any 18 clubs )
or we may recruit him at end of the year

Cumbos had enough chances and the excuses are over. I backed him in and supported him in hope he would get enough games to show whether he belonged. In the end he embarrassed me with his output and needs to be delisted.
He only has himself to blame as he’s had enough coaches now and failed under all of them.

agree, if good enough he will get another chance somewhere else

some love the charity angle

To me cumbo is too raw, not polished enough and the improvement has not come

no reason for RFC to hang on and really Cumbo if good enough will create other opportunities for himself

He will join his Brisbane academy team mate Will Martyn out the door. I don't think list managers will retain him.

Add in Ryan ! ~ time to write off that Academy as a spud farm.

Agree if Brisbane don’t pick you then tread warily and I mentioned this in Ryan’s thread. Three absolute flops.

Townsend? Our best forward?
With respect. Better than Riewoldt?
He wasn't
better than Caddy and then eventually we got Lynxh?
Different types, but Rioli was a better forward at the time, and Butler and Castagna more consistent.
Townsend got lucky and quickly faded.
He won a reserves medal as a midfielder.
Simms didn’t screw him. He quickly became ineffectual and couldn’t get a kick anywhere.

32 goals last ten games when moved forward after caddy went down wasn't a bad effort was it?
 
I reckon to thrive in the role he has you have to be genuinely elite, which he’s clearly not.

If he was able to run all day and rack up cheap touches on the wing and then rest forward and kick a goal or two, then great.

If he could play half forward flank and then take a rotation or two in the midfield and get a couple of contested balls, plus those couple of goals here and there, then great.

But playing “general forward” and getting 3-5 touches per game is really not that useful.
 
The major fallacy is people are referring to a purple patch of form that was years ago.

Richmond are a different team and despite being given ample opportunities, he has failed to grasp them.

We know what he can do, time to move forward and give the opportunity to another player.

When Cumbo plays AFL, because he is so useless at reading play, the oppo isolate their best intercept defender to him. The interceptor has pretty much free reign - Cumbo doesn't hurt on the scoreboard and is a defensive minnow.

I think it's a bit the other way round. Cumbo can read the play and is often in the right situation to go for the mark but either doesn't have the confidence or is just not big enough. Hence Stewart, Ridley and others just sit back and take over, having been lead to the right spots.

In his defence, playing forward at Richmond this year was a tough gig, we had Kosi most of the year to lead up and take the heat, little wonder Cumbo's man dominated.
 
We can't have him on the list as he couldn't deliver when put to the test.

Unpopular opinion but I check online each day to see if he’s been given a 1 year deal …. I see no harm in giving him one more shot especially with lots of players departing already

What about the harm to my sanity LM?
