Don't be at a loss. Only good on field performance in the 2s is his way in and this guy is not performing. Forget the conspiracy theories, the player is not delivering and thus does not deserve a gig. Talented or not he's getting the number of senior games warranted by his overall performances...

I doubt there are any players over 25 that will see a flag. Young players in our side other than Bolton do not appear to be A grade, so this could be a long hall back to contention. No tanking! Young players need to learn a win at all cost manner/attitude.
If Rioli wants out, then I’d go all out for picks 10 & 11 for Rioli and enough later draft capital/points back to GC so they can pickup an academy player.
He’s done SFA. He’s a sook who permanently whinges to umpires about the raw deal he thinks he gets, instead of pulling his finger out and forcing his way into the senior side with good form. You’re 100% correct, he’s done nothing for 2 years plus and appears to be nothing more than a list...
You are 100% correct. A month ago many posters were saying we should be done with him, me included. I’m not convinced yet and want to see more before panicking and paying overs for Miller. Let him show that he is the man for the job and pay him accordingly. If a big offer comes from elsewhere...
We certainly need to move some older players on, however, which players is the question. Firstly let's wait and see who is injured, who wants to leave and who can be traded.
It's no use calling out specific older players until we see the season unfold. If players like Campbell, McAuliffe...
You need to watch him more closely. Loses a contest, doesn’t chase. Busy sooking to the umpire whilst the opposition is running off with the ball. Also Campbell and Steely have been better.
Bullshite. Cumberland does not deserve a senior game at this time. Others have been better. If he is half the quality posters here claim, then he must force his way into contention with good form and hold his spot by being consistently good. He sooks it up when he loses a contest and this needs...
Just how many youngsters do you want to play? The names I keep hearing to replace are Macca, Pickett, Grimes, Prestia, broad and quite a few more. If more than 2 or three youngsters are played at any one time then we will become cannon fodder in this comp. we've seen North and Hawthorn...
Hopper has to be played early. His profile and price tag demand it. However I think the same output from him going forward won't be tolerated for long.
Not sure he’s fully Cooked but I agree in principle. Sadly this narrow focus on Lynch returning as a gun and fixing our problems is just bullshite. If the problem kicking into the forward line is not corrected and other avenues to goal are not put in place, our season will be over quite soon...
I have to agree. Unfortunately our side is slow as treacle and does not have the tools for todays football. A rebuild with pace is of the utmost importance. I’d trial kids with pace first and foremost. Our midfield was cut to Pieces.
How many times is COVID to be used as an excuse? Go have a look at the 2021 draft and you’ll see probably 15 of the best young talent in the AFL. There is no excuses for them.
Stupid comment. All supporters want our players to be good, Cumberland included. However he has not shown enough since his first senior year to deserve being selected in the senior side. When posters here keep selecting him in the first 22, they are basing it on hope(Love fest). Where is the...
I don't get the Cumberland love fest. Based on form the only place he deserves is in the reserves. I just don't think he should be played until he shows good form in the twos and forces his way into the senior team with consistent football. Seth Campbell and Steely Green are delivering more than...
Cumberland should play back. I.e back in the stand. Does not yet deserve a senior gig. Campbell and Green are showing more at this stage. Back to the twos for Cumberland unless he shows more consistency.
I would send him out with a dietitian and a fitness coach and not allow him to train at the club until he came back in great condition. Step up or truck off. At the moment he can be placed in the spud category. Its a bad example giving him game time when he clearly isn’t committed enough to get...
