[Gasometer]

Football not as easy as it seems sometimes.
Kudos Trent for being a life advocate and a Roo

That damn Taxi Case Hojy!

That damn Taxi Case Hojy!

Doesn't take much to tip you over the edge Gaso. Imagine what Majak went through.

 

[Mav]

Improve your kicking Trent.

Oh look, the WBC are back.

 

[brettman135]

Was just on the Oval Office talking about his mental health issues

Powerful stuff; kudos young man!

Absolutely kicking goals being a strong advocate for mental health issues, absolute credit to him as a person to be so open and honest into his personal struggles.

 

[pupstar]

North is gonna sell him this year.

According to who.

Doubt it.

 

[Snake_Baker]

According to who.

I could only see it happening for a trade for a better midfielder.

I'm going full The Other Dean ~ Sam Gibson on this bloke.

Lay off him. Enough scapegoating. Quality player, quality individual.

For reasons unknown seems to have drifted into whipping territory.

Come at me all Dumont Doubters.

He's only in whipping boy territory for people who don't understand the game.

A few fumbles and missed kicks earlier this season was all it took.

But then again what he does to get off in his own time is really none of our business.

 

[amaz199]

Only had 2 clangers on the weekend. Whilst Ahern and Wood ended up with 4 and 6 clangers. Dumont used the ball at 76.9% DE. Which is not the worst thing in the world.

Least of our problems. He was disappointed even considering the fact he was one of our bests with 26 disposals.

I'm backing him to kill it this week. Both him and Polec can build something.

Sweet. I'm really looking fwd to your possession by possession analysis. My impression is that his ball use has continued to be below his best, stats be damned, but haven't been soo interested to drill down enough to convert that impression into a position. Will you also do one of his better games to compare against?

Watching thread.

Yes to all of the above. Every week for the rest of his career.

I just hope it doesn't eat too much into your mock Jmac time.

Nah that job runs itself now.

I'm absolutely on board with your defense of Dumont, KC. Bloke is often unfairly maligned in these parts.

Although as kangaspurs alluded to, that might just be down to a simple correlation between 'posters who criticise Trent' and 'posters who don't have a particularly nuanced understanding of the game'.

Either way, speaking from experience, you should never go full The Other Dean.

Completely agree.
We have next to no midfielders in his age/games bracket.
Needs to come off the wing and into our centre square rotations, as defensively (and offensively) his lack of pace makes him limited in that position.

You'll laugh but Lmac can play midfield, tho probably not as much time on the inside.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Was opposed to either Scully (& sometimes Henderson) for most of the night. Felt like neither of them had much influence.

Froggy had a couple of poor handballs, one in particular that resulted in a goal, but overall a solid workman like performance.

His defensive work tonight really stood out with 8 tackles and 30 pressure acts

He was great tonight but no doubt the WBC will pick holes in his game.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Had a very good defensive work rate match last night.

 

[SlyCunnington]

Along with Goldstein and Wood, Dumont helped to get us a little traction in the contest in that horrible first quarter.

He kept up the same chugging workrate for the next 3 qtrs as well, something he does every week.

 

[Horizons_00]

Had a very good defensive work rate match last night.

Highest pressure acts in the game

He knows his limits and he left nothing in the tank last night. Yes he is quite slow but he was great

 

[Kimbo]

Left-field selection:
Trent Dumont is rated highly internally for his leadership and might even be a contender to be Ziebell's successor, depending on what happens in the next couple of seasons. - Marc McGowan

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Snake will be furiously pacing within his crypt if that ever happened.
