Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben - re-signed until end of 2025

[Nutjob]

Anyone know roughly what his TOG was today? Assuming he played around 3 quarters, I have him kicking around 6.6 from 5 quarters.

So is that 12 scoring shots in his two games this season. I like it

If he played a full game today then that's six quarters

Played most of the game at CHF with some time at FF. Edwards was managed for obvious reasons.

 

[Frank Thring]

He's close

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

He's close

Definitely a case of when, not if. Really up to the fitness staff and coaches if they want to see him at the highest level this year. Looked like he could easily contribute at AFL level already.

Agressive, skillful, high marking.

He’s absolutely going to make it.

He’s absolutely going to make it.

Hopefully he remains injury free and gets a good run at it moving forward.

Rd.23 v Crows ?

Yeh, why not.

Yeh, why not.

If he plays well in vfl next week then bring him in vs Sydney in Melbourne the game after. That would have given him 4 vfl/ scratch matches

Charlie and Jake are excellent looking specimens. When they link up with Larkey, they could well rival Corey, Carey & Capuano. Yeah, I went there. Add in Zurhaar for the Fridge, Elvis for Sholl and Atu for Winston and we’re sucking diesel.

Phrasing!

Hang on, stop. Why isnt that guitar player toggling the volume knob or using a pedal to control the frequency??? I call this fake/dubbed

After his four-goal half of football in Brisbane two weeks ago, Comben made his first competitive appearance for the season against Borough, and was effective both forward and in the ruck throughout the day.

He finished with 11 disposals, 5 marks and 2 goals.

says Comben will continue to improve as he finds fitness, after his extended stint on the sidelines.

“He (Comben) was brilliant today with his ability to get the ball to ground. If he doesn’t mark it you just know he’s giving our smaller guys that opportunity to get in and under,” the North coach said.

“He could have kicked five or six today, but he couldn’t quite convert as he would have wanted to … but he looked a step above today.

“Now he’s starting to get his confidence and fitness to a level where he can compete for four quarters. He’s covering the ground well, getting to and impacting contests - he was super.”

I think we’ll see him against Sydney or Adelaide. Just giving him a taste of the level before a huge pre season.

 

[Horizons_00]

We obviously see a lot in him. Only 2 games in and good signs!

 

[shinboner magic]

The footy looks like a tennis ball in hands

I think maybe the Crows to give him a taste but would rather they took the ultra cautious approach and just worried about day 1 pre-season tbh.

Last bit of play sprinting away from the pack with a nice short pass.... the bloke is 200cm

 

[R00StaR]

Glad we didnt go hard for a forward, this guy is the real deal. He can pinch hit in the ruck or ruck the i50s - good mover who can get up the ground, agile enough.
It could be we have Edwards and Comben sharing forward/ ruck in future.

I can understand that viewpoint, so wouldn’t be upset if that’s the decision, however I’m of the opinion that if you’re happy for him to play unrestricted in the VFL you may as well play him in the AFL. I don’t have the data in front of me, but you’re probably only marginally more likely to get injured in an AFL game than VFL.

Would be brilliant validation of our list management team if Chom makes it. We copped a lot of s**t externally for taking WAP last season. This shuts them all up.
