The Undroppables: Who's the key to playing in Round 19?
The Undroppable. The category of footballers we created. Definition: A fringe or developing AFL player who performs well enough to maintain their place in the side for the following week. Throughout the season, we’ll be keeping an eye on players who take their chances on the team and do enough to lock themselves in in the next round. Check out our nominations from Round 18 below: Noah Cumberland (Richmond) It may have been a game to forget for Richmond, but Noah Cumberland’s performance should not be overlooked. The 21-year-old forward has only played his second AFL game (excluding those spent as medi-sub) and made a useful return on the 3.4 scoreboard. Yes, he is a little inefficient in front of goal, however, he managed to score seven shots in a game at AFL level which is not easy to do. Cumberland also racked up 14 releases, had 11 scoring engagements (second only to Jack Riewoldt’s 12), the same team high seven in the 50s and four tackles, drawing three coach votes for his trouble
