Past #14: Trent Dumont - delisted end '21 - 113 NM games/26 NM goals - 2019 NM VCapt - thanks Froggy

[Flawed Genius]

Absolute 5/10 game if I've ever seen one

 

[Benno_900]

* me - I really expected him to step it up a notch.

Him and LMac so underwhelming.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Agree. He's really hard to read as a player. Still does way too many dumb things on the footy field.

He is frustrating.

From what I was told he lost a heap of weight in the pre-season and was a real stand out. But then it comes to game day he is just vanilla as they come, he plays his role but doesn’t have enough impact.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I like that he always has his head over the footy and never takes a backwards step

Knows how to find the footy and clean by foot.
Hands need to get better though

 

[Billy Not Really]

If you ever wanted to know 'who's in our current mob that holds us back from premiership team status'.

One of them is Trent Dumont. He's the definition of serviceable & average. But not premiership quality.

 

[Mordecai]

Agree. Needs a rest. Bring in someone else for a try.

 

[Arathrawn]

Hasn't show his best yet but i wouldn't write this kid off yet, i think with more experience he starts to make those kicks and handballs that are just a fraction off. You can see he has the right ideas hes just a fraction behind in execution. Only 22 and yet to play 50 games. Also as long as he is solid we can keep Ziebull forward.

Best statistical comparison for position and draft age is Zac Jones

That handball that gave up the first Hawthorn goal was so sloppy.
Almost came back to bite us. Needs to show more care and urgency.

 

[Tas]

BEST
North Melbourne: Tarrant, Cunnington, Jacobs, Ziebell, Brown, Dumont, Macmillan

BF Drop Dumont... 5/10.

Dumont, Jacobs and Anderson this year are the reason why we can unleash Ziebell forward.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

He wasn't as bad as everyone has made him out to be. He's been steadily improving since the first game, 23 disposals at 61% (which comes to decision making under pressure, which will come with more games), 290 metres gained, a nice goal and a few other nice things. He was a bit down on his defensive numbers, but that is something is pretty good at normally.

I am more concerned about McDonald atm than I am Dumont.

The off-field stuff has messed with his mental side of the game, at least that’s my theory.

Not sure what it is, i mean he tries his guts out, but is playing like a third rounder than a top 10 pick.

 

[King Corey]

Happy with his development. Nice to see a genuine mid with a little poise and clean use emerging.

Has lots to work on as do his teammates.

 

[Nylex]

Been one of the small reasons we're doing better than most expected this year.
Good numbers, is accountable and wins his own footy. Takes some pressure off cunners and allows JZ to push forward.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

He is an ok player doing a good job at the moment, I think thats the best he will do but he just needs to improve his consistency.

 

[Heaps of fun]

He's trying his ******* heart out at the moment. Can be cleaner and smarter than he shows but it's telling that when he gets the ball he's under the most pressure because he's usually making it to balls that the old North Melbourne would let the opposition get to first.

Great observation.

Gotta say, live at game I was happy with Froggy’s efforts. He’s tracking slowly, but I’m still a believer.

 

[shinboner magic]

Tries his best and is a tough mother but his decision making is lacking and looks slower than cunners

 

[Black2Blue]

Thought he played a solid game after that diabolical handball.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was solid. That's about it. Tends to drift out of games a bit. He'll be under the pump when Garner, Wright & Ahern step up.

Agree with that. Will be watching those 3 with interest in the VFL on Sunday. Would hope all press their case for a senior berth in the coming fortnight and if we keep winning going to be some healthy competition for spots.

11 touches.

 

[Engimal v3]

11 touches.

About 5 of them good.
