Past Liam Sumner

[F_therest]

Does anyone know about his injury?

Is he completely over it or is it something that hangs around and will continue to hamper him?

Doesn't look slow which would have to be a good sign. Especially since he probably ain't as fit as pre-injury.

If he gets his body right we could be on to something special

Do you mean special or Mcavaney special.

Careful. Menz might be a premiership player in six months time.

Does the Crows SANFL team look a likely chance for the premiership this season?

 

[thylacine60]

I'll be ******* amazed if Menzel turns out a bust for the Crows.

Same here, body permitting.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Think Sumner and Lamb might form a good combo up forward. Was a point in the game when Lamb had a hand in pretty much every goal we were getting (6 score involvements).
Combined for 3 goals straight (out of 7 for the game), 20 touches (17 effective), 4 assists, 9 score involvements and 5 inside 50's.

I have been wondering if there is room in the team for both of them as they are quite similar players/role.

I guess the answer so far^ is YES.



^ albeit early doors....

Well it seems Lamb can play a bit taller when he needs to and can take a mark whereas Sumner will probably be buzzing around at ground level so I reckon they could coexist nicely.

Yep, Lamb to play a bit higher up around the 50m arc, with Sumner roving packs and applying pressure on the kick-ins.

First goal was Lamb's assist to Buckley. 2nd was Lamb's snap. 3rd was Lamb's pass to Phillips. 4th was Lamb's pass to Summer where he was taken high. 5th was Gibbs snap, though Lamb had it on the wing 3 touches earlier. 6th was Sumner's pass to Cripps, and the last was Sumner's mark inside 50.

 

[1981]

He can kick straight so he's already in the top 5% of players on the list

First game jitters. Give him a few weeks and he'll be missing shots regularly like the rest of the boys.

I won't be poor work ethic gets found out at the better clubs as we've seen already not getting a look in , we played him on talent alone . Seems the penny hasn't dropped and don't think it ever will he's soft doesn't like to get his hands dirty . Classic down hill skier we've done so well at producing .

 

[Blue Doormat]

HF *****. Curnow. Lamb
FF Sumner ***** *****

With any luck we can add silvagni and McKay to that structure

 

[Iamcarlton]

Before the game I would have agreed, but the Blues staff clearly knew better than us, because he moved well and slotted 2 goals. And anyone who can kick more than 1 goal is like gold for us..

All irrelevant I believe . I thought we were changing the culture to one of a hard working no nonsense earn your spot culture . Won't get there if we gift games to some and hold others back even if performances warrant inclusion . Same goes for plowman . Petracca at Melbourne has been tearing it up every game but still hasn't got a look in very similar circumstances injury wise to our boys . But not in yet this week most likely .

So we're Menzel's issues.

 

[Omega Blue]

There is a bit of kade Simpson about this lad and how he's willing to put his body on the line.
Needs to watch his scoring though SOS might get a sniff and try and trade him.

A hot sumner!
