Player Watch #22 Sam Cumming

[Dr Tigris]

He looks like being very good, with a side option of elite. And that is first year with a dodgy shoulder.

 

[THE_GUN]

Put him in for surgery after the eagles game that gives him 5.5 months before they come back in the new year for
pre season where the real stuff begin. He can just get fitness up from mid November to mid january

 

[Daka]

God, I love Cumming

 

[KrispyKreme]

Besides disappearing in the 3rd quarter completely cumming was great, absolutely love cumming

 

[sante]

God, I love Cumming

Don’t we all

 

[DontArgue4]

He never fumbles, so clean

Going to be a star

 

[Truetiger]

He never fumbles, so clean

Going to be a star

Even if it’s more about team success, no doubt he will get a Rising Star nomination. Wonder if it would be this week. Looking forward to many seasons watching him play.

Think Retschko probably deserves the nod this week over Cumming who put on arguably a bog performance

 

[daird]

Leading up to the draft I recall some comparing him to a young Patrick Dangerfield.

I got curious and looked it up, Cumming’s first year stats are comparable, possibly even tracking better, to Danger’s second season (noting he only played two games in his first season).

 

[TigerTime88]

Just going to be that reliable mid you know is in the fight each game.

Strange comparison. He’s nothing like Dangerfield. He reminds me more of Rory Sloane than Dangerfield.

 

[Madtiger2006]

We’ve been better ever since he came in

thoughts on dustin robey?

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Just going to be that reliable mid you know is in the fight each game.

With a bit of forward craft to go with that.

 

[Ralll]

Some of his handballs last night show he is a step ahead of the game.

 

[59Stanley]

Showed a bit more pace last night which was good. He will be a very good footballer and when the side improves overall he will shine

 

[Calcium Man]

Was it the last quarter when Ross gave him a hospital handball between 3 bombers in the centre square that looked like a turnover and he just accelerated, grabbed it and accelerated through them to deliver inside 50. That was special

 

[choldy]

He reminds me a lot of Cal Ward although I think he has a touch more pace. Great movement and vision through traffic, tough as nails. Clearly needs a couple of good preseasons as he still looks like a junior, but I see why we rated him so highly.

 

[Lord_Of_The_Fries]

100% see the cal ward and Sloane comparisons, future star in the making

Spot on. Ward/Sloane type. heck me yes please if he gets anywhere near that level

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Showed some really good pace with the ball. He seems kind of slow when chasing to tackle at times, but maybe it's just endurance

 

[THE_GUN]

Wont be this week Retchko could get it this week imo

He’s definitely a bit reactive at times without the ball in his hands but I’m confident he’ll rectify that in time. Being an elite mid requires intense focus at all times - this is where Jack Ross has stepped up his game this year to become a genuine two way mid. Sam has all the tools to do the same.

 

[THE_GUN]

Strange comparison. He’s nothing like Dangerfield. He reminds me more of Rory Sloane than Dangerfield.

Sloan in the midfield maybe but sloan had no foward craft or the speed and leap that sam has
Isaak Heeney/Cotchin mix is what came to mind when i seen his vision last year and with 50 games i think he will show more

 

[tiger_tough]

He is so clean in congestion and strong through the hips. Is going to be a weapon.
