Over the month of October, NMFC.com.au will be reviewing each player’s 2014 season.

Season highlights, their statistics and quotes from the player from the course of the year will be included.

Season highlights

Round 17 v Coburg
- 35 disposals, 10 marks, 10 inside 50’s, 3 goals

After missing the previous VFL game for North Ballarat, Dumont returned strongly, turning in a best on ground performance.

Spending time in the midfield and up forward, the first-year Roo was influential at key moments of the game.

Season in review

Dumont was North Melbourne’s second selection in the 2013 National Draft, and he settled into life at Arden Street quickly.

Spending the season aligned with North Ballarat in the VFL, the midfielder regularly had games of 25+ disposals, proving a vital part of the Roosters’ outfit.

As the season went on, Dumont began to work on his outside game, complementing his natural talent on the inside. He undertook a heavy training block in the middle of the year and came through it with flying colours.

Towards the end of the year, North’s number 14 spent more time forward as well. A strong overhead and contested mark for his size, Dumont regularly worked his way onto the score sheet.

With a full pre-season ahead of him, a strong summer on the track should have Dumont right in the running for a senior debut early in 2015.

“The improvement will come through repetitive kicking. It’s just about doing it again and again until it gets better.

“I probably had more kicks under pressure than I did out in the open today, so it’s all about concentration as well when I’m kicking.”
