Preview Richmond vs dummas new toys saturday 9th March 4:20 pm

[AstuteTiger]

Did anyone actually watch the Pies waltz the ball out of defence for 3/4 of the game last week? Why on earth would we bring in Cumberland who has clearly not yet been able to grasp the vital elements of team defence to defend oppo ball movement?

I’m not saying MRJ should be playing (I don’t think he should based on his pre season), but I am saying you don’t need to be Einstein to know why Cumberland isn’t and I wish people would stop harping on about it.

The only reason Cumberland isn’t playing is because of Cumberland.

I’m happy to see Banks on a wing.. he’s the future.

Yeah i was there. So what you're saying is every forward who played last week didn't do there job? Cumbo does chase and tackle its a ****en myth that he doesnt.

Its about kicking goals and thats what cumbo does.

Banks i do like and has shown some good signs last year but hasnt done enough to walk straight in. Its not like he's some star that just waltzes in.

You have an expected standard for Cumbo….what did Ryan…Grimes…MRJ do over pre season to warrant selection?

Grimes is proven and done that to question him is silly we need his experience there with Young and Gibcus
Ryan showed something last season he was taking first ruck at times yes he has improvement , but we're talking about a 23 year old developing ruck
MJR I agree on with you

Cumberland needs to shirk of his inconsistencies in and out of games. The body language and complaining number one.

Banks i do like and has show soem good signs last year but hasnt done enough to walk straight in. Its not like he's some star that just waltzes in.

Like Maurice Jnr you mean?

Waltzes in? It’s the first game.

Waltzes in? It’s the first game.

Thats what i meant walks in with no preseason games.

And yet Ryan (23yo) and MRJ (21yo) are around Cumberland's age (22yo), yet both are held to a different standard and are rewarded for stinking it up.

Ryan is a ruckman his a baby at 23. Take the games in the wet out when Dimma played him he was developing nice as a ruck and pinch hit up forward. Rioli I agree on.

Do we know Cumberland training standards , I wouldn't reward a player playing one half in the vfl ?

 

[db26]

Some people so unrealistic. You can't put 12 kids at once needs , to be a blend of senior players performing with the youth and then slowly replace them. Grimes is there for experience around Young and Gibcus no brainer and his game against pies was fine.

 

[Coach_Required]

Rioli Jnr and Dud Ryan in the side together?? WTF

As I’ve said, love grimes but He has hardly had any game time this pre season…been in rehas
His praccy game was just ok
Recon he is still weeks off

Cumbo needs to do this
Cumbo needs to do that

the lights are on but nobody is home over on the GC board, not a post for 5 hours.

And aren't they such magnificent lights too!

The posters who criticise Cumbo are more unrealistic than the fanboys with their reasoning

 

[Karp3_dm]

Who’s sub? Ross again? Poor bastard

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Have followed the preseason closely and fail to see how MRJ, Cumberland, Banks and Ryan have shown enough to warrant selection. MRJ and Cumberland have only managed 1+1/2 qtrs of reasonable football and both Ryan and Banks looked lost in their appearances. We can only hope the coaches and selectors have seen enough during the buildup to the scratch and practice matches that justifies their selections. Whatever happens it is unlikely we will be active come finals so I guess we have little to loose other than the four points.

Ooze found Dimma's coaching book in the toilets and is reading the part about Team selections! Thinks why not!

 

[tropicaltiger]

Kid gets named to debut, exciting stuff but all some want to do is complain instead of wishing him well

no problems with Junior or Campbell playing it looks like it's going to be a slippery dip looking at the Swans / Demons game so try not to be too cute..... run, run, run, pressure pressure, get it forward and scrounge as many goals as you can.

 

[Sol23]

Hope cumbo gets his chance and proves some of you dickheads wrong.

 

[Roksman]

Opening round and everyone is sooking it up.

FMD.

Confirmed for points

Nope, you’ve all been here all pre season

No one is doubting Cumberland talent it's there. It's his application game day the problem on certain things and he has openly admitted it needs to be worked on.

He is held to a higher standard than other players by the pearl clutchers. Probably half of them are Dimma's best mates.

You'd think that each MRJ pressure acts are worth 50 points on the scoreboard the way some of them carry on.

 

[Roksman]

I love how 3 coaches (if you include Mini) overlook Cumberland and people still think he's a gun and the Messiah.

How has MRJ's application on game day been the last 9-12 months?

 

[cairo tiger]
