I would probably wait a bit longer before crowning him. Rowell looked like a Brownlow Medallist in his first few games and has never hit those heights again. Rozee is similar. When teams start cottoning on to Cumberland's game, he's going to find it harder. How he responds to that will be his true test.
Maybe it was Noah Cumberland with the rarest skill set in the AFL and not Noah Balta?
The academy doing a good job and widening the player pool
Ah yep sorry it was the other way round, but with bids and matching I think we didnt match and it would have taken the pick we used for Prior. So that was the choice for us
It looks good but still a bit weaker than some of the ones around it IMO. Increasingly it feels like more drafts are good than meh/bad at this point.
Like brayshaw it will take awhile for them to cotton on.
I told you all…
Young should be right up there too. Missed his first two seasons with injury so doesn't get talked about as much, but he looks like a seasoned veteran in defence. Probably the best young defender in the league right now.
Agreed, I forgot about him but he's a gun already. Dockers did great to end up with two elite players + Frederick late in the draft.
His an absolute
would love to have him at port has to be in the conversation as the best of the lot from his draftRespectfully, Anderson + Warner >> Serong
