Didn't show much but seemed to have neat skills and a tiny bit of intensity for a short moment, if he was fit enough he might have had a chance, ball still seems to be in his court.

Made up nearly 5 metres in the space of 30 there. You've been shooting from the hip a bit lately!
I think if he can put in a better pre-season, there's a rookie spot there for the taking. Hope he finds it within himself because he's a very talented forward waiting to happen.

I've got an URTI so I've been a bit dogmatic in my posts lately.
But we (on the Carlton board) can always rely on Jimmae to clarify our errors.
Liam is pretty quick, no doubt. I don't know much about his endurance, he's still quite chunky at 24.

He has, but remember he had a modified pre-season in 2016, and an interrupted one this year, before succumbing to a hamstring issue, followed by an adductor issue.I've got an URTI so I've been a bit dogmatic in my posts lately.

His form looked alright before the adductor complaint, and he pretty much faded from there. I don't blame him for a bit of pudge given the kinds of injuries that he's had, but he's got to eat and train smarter from here on out if he wants to get himself back into AFL contention.

If this is true its important information that people should consider before judgments are made.
Shame he could not make it at cfc. I thought he really had something good.

When Boekhorst took off on his rundown chase and tackle, you can see Sumner setting off from the other side of the square. He arrived at the spot where boekkie tackled a couple of seconds later.

All the best Liam.
hope they rookie list him. I think he still has lots to give, just has to believe in himself more

Showed glimpses of talent along the way but that'll only ever take you so far.
We're giving him a chance over the break to prove himself, but I'll be stunned if we see him on the rookie list in 2018. Just doesn't do enough.

Big if
Ye he has plenty of ability and a genuine sort of man.
Problem is get him to 80 plus percent fitness and they begin to breakdown,the curse of sports.
He had several injury issues this year and would imagine he would always have issues going forward.....he may get a couple years as rookie if he can stay trouble free but we may have moved on by then anyway.
I guess you are talking by the same club, because it has worked out pretty well with Alex Silvagni
Good point!

Heath Scotland
I guess Andrew Carrazzo was a similar situation to Alex Silvagni, was at another club, got delisted and we rookie listed him.
Yeah, I though about that one but Scotland probably should have just walked away.

Well I was thinking of players that stayed at the same club, but point taken. There may be hope for Sumner yet.
Yeah, just struggling to think of players that were delisted and then rookied at the same club that succeeded

Ed Curnow and Rowe were rookies for other clubs
A rookie spot may give him the required kick up the A - doubt it though, have heard his head is swollen. I'll give him a second chance if the club see fit.
