[voorhees]

OUT: CLASS
IN: ASS

Cumberland is fighting for his next contract... get behind him, cheer for him.

[banzai]

They’re two good players to cite as they are the definition of plodders who work hard, accumulate stats, but do little damage.

Taranto is a very good player, but I don’t rate him as elite.
Hopper is vanilla.
I like the look of McAuliffe, but it’s early days.

I really rate Young and expect him to tear us a new one.

If Hopper and Taranto are your 2 best mids, you're probably a bottom 4 side. They are both decent but you need a few mids classes above them.

Hoppers game against Melbourne was bloody elite until he broke down. Also his 2nd half v GC. But he needs to play with that determination for 4 quarters every week, otherwise he does just plod around.

McAuliffe will be very good, but he aint gonna be able to run with any of the Freo mids at this stage, hard to see this not getting ugly.

 

[Growapair]

My theory that Cumbo always plays better without Dusty there about to get another practical examination...

This year the whole team has played better without Dusty lol

Reckon we are a big chance to win this one ...

 

[AstuteTiger]

how the flick does cumbo get a game? we’re not going to lose we are going to be an embarrassment

I say that most weeks watching Mansell who has zero forward craft. Like to see Green or Coulthard in Nigel's place and see what they can bring.

 

[terrybull]

Cant we just forfeit? Just tell the AFL we don't want to risk anymore injuries playng on concrete

What is the official rules regarding forfeits?
Do we lose points?
Is the For and Against the average of the Round?
Is it just a fine or are we shipped off to Canberra?

Very harsh. Hopper at his best was an AA 40 man in 2021, but needs continuity to get in that form. Taranto’s disposal by foot is a deficit of his game but he’s elite around the contest, can hit the scoreboard, high tackle numbers and pressure acts and gets loads of clearances

I'd like to see Mansell up the clacker of whichever Fremantle mid is causing us the most damage. He is an unsociable footballer who needs a task.

why no coulthard? would have him than bumbo

 

[Tiger51]

why no coulthard? would have him than bumbo

Coulthard has had only one game so for this year that could be considered up to standard and that was against to bottom team Carlton, no chance until we see this form repeated over an extended period.

Agreed, the only thing between Hopper and being an elite inside mid is injuries and lack continutity.

TT plays a role, an important one, we just need more class around him and when we do, he should be spending time deep F50 also.

 

[Coach_Required]

Cumbo gonna spud it up again.

Cumbo in his mind gunna kick 10
Cumbo in reality will fumble his first touch drop his head and then spud it up for the rest of the day.
I swear his mind runs 100 miles an hour but the message to his feet is a lot slower.

Nah I'm looking to the draft.

Reckon Coulthard is going to be delisted.

Taranto won the b&f in 2019 with Hopper 3rd when GWS made the Granny. Was it only a 5 team comp then?

 

[Groupie_]

we are undefeated in games without dusty this season, time to load up on the tigers

nah we want freo top 4 so carltoorn or colonwood can go interstate in the finals

 

[Hello harry]

I thought he was cooked. I wasn’t impressed with his vfl game last week as he was absent for three quarters. Anyway he’s basically been thrown a lifeline and I hope he can change our opinions based on his last AFL game.

good news is we got both of them long term on what will soon be considered pretty mid value contracts. we can still add a couple of elite mids. if hopper and taranto are your second stringers youre in a good spot.

First game he's actually pulled his finger out and got involved. Has spent all year just coasting and skirting packs.
Has the talent just leaving it pretty late to get serious.

 

[lumpinee]

Cumbo=NQR or Not All There ,theres a few planets missin from the solar system i rkn

 

[prodigy]

I really respect the Cumbo wet dreamers in here. Reflecting on a short purple patch of form like he was the next iteration of Dunstall or Plugger and fantasizing about that form coming back out of nowhere to save our season and his career like an actual fairy tale.

Im on optimistic guy, but damn this is next level.

 

[sanaya]

damn, we were going to get absolutely hammered by freo like we did earlier this year, and now that we brought in cumbo we're most likely going to get absolutely hammered by freo like we did earlier this year

instead of whining you all should be lionising match committee like I am for thinking about our future by aiming for pick 1


that's why we should also re-sign louie for the length of our rebuild

 

[Tiger V]

How many Tiger players will actually come back from WA

 

[WheelAndDeal]

CUMBO will kick 6 and silence all haters



fire up you big melon

We don't need him breaking all the new toys as well otherwise it will be a long rebuild....
