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

[Ischenko]

About 5 of them good.

That's generous. Drop.

 

[ozzyoslo]

11 touches.

He's been decent prior to this when we're transitioning via a younger midfield......yep down on numbers put out today but was wasnt PAT MALONE.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's so meh

 

[Ischenko]

He's so meh

He's exactly the type of player we need an upgrade on if we are to seriously contend. Not best 22 in a top four side.

 

[bennymate]

Just an average footballer.

 

[guapo]

Transitional player. When we build out the mids over the next two drafts, he will be squeezed out. Agree, no trait better than average

 

[koshari]

I dont m8nd him but sheesh he butchered it today. You would think he had had some personal coaching from LA during the week.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Just an average footballer.

Completely disappeared after half time

 

[Page8383]

Just an average footballer.

Yeah - like Frog but has average speed average tank below average skills (loves a turnover when we’re streaming forward) and prob above average positioning

I’d see him as a guy that dominates VFL but I reckon needs to find a few gears if he’s gonna be first 22 for 2019

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Give Mountford, Walker, Murphy Orr Hibberd a run in his role. Just not offering enough.

 

[gokangas]

Was ok yesterday but in a game he should have dominated. Not a shocker - but expected more.

 

[shinboner magic]

Give Mountford, Walker, Murphy Orr Hibberd a run in his role. Just not offering enough.

Yes I like this a lot

Froggy is slow in everything he does - at that speed he’s got to be in and under but hardly is

 

[tazaa]

No better game to dominate in then one when the opposition dont have a recognized ruck
Also no Higgins means he should have found the footy more

Jed and Jy embarrass him for effort and desire

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Trade him to us please

 

[nelroo]

Trade him to us please

What could you offer in return?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Love to know what his exact role in the team was on Saturday.

 

[Jindrrk]

Give Mountford, Walker, Murphy Orr Hibberd a run in his role. Just not offering enough.

Mountford is the one I rate to do that, that is most ready (but injured atm).

But I think theres still room for improvement for Trent, but he is one on our list I don't rate that highly.

With Simpkin, Higgins, BenC, Jacobs, LDU in the midfield mix, I see Ahern as possibly adding to that in 3-4 weeks and I think Trent needs to collect bigger numbers and improve skills to add value since he is not quick or he's in a bit of trouble in the 22.

 

[Hazey1977]

What could you offer in return?

Durdin & Dumont for a late 1st/early second?

 

[ozzyoslo]

Done his ACL hasnt he? Poor bugger.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Done his ACL hasnt he? Poor bugger.

Still waiting to hear the outcome. But not looking good. Poor kid.

 

[SheezNuts]

Would really love this guy to step up. Kinda just turns up every week and goes unnoticed..

I can't remember what quarter it was, but there was a passage of play where a Richmond player just brushed Dumont away with absolute ease, mostly due to one of the worst attempts at a tackle I've ever seen.

Unforgivable effort and hope the coaches roast him for it

 

[Ischenko]

He was OK again. Playing a mostly outside role, and is able to use his kicking skills to help us move through congestion at times. Had a lovely passage on the members wing where he sold the dummy, got round his opponent and hit a target amongst oppo players. If we're seriously contesting he's most likely depth, but handy depth nonetheless.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Have to say Tef was pretty spot on with his assessment of Trent last year.

Just pure vanilla. Does some good stuff but is not damaging enough to be slow and defensively suspect. Won't even be close to LDU and Ahern when they are up and running.

 

[The Nostradamus]

 

[gustev]

Jumped off Trent's bandwagon earlier this year, but that was a solid game today.
Stands up in tackles, and then gets ball free to advantage. His body strength is emerging as he progresses. Needs to keep working hard on increasing his influence, and being more effective and damaging when he has the ball in space.
A tick for today.
