An injury riddled start to his career but showed genuine signs in 2010 that he could become a quality KPF.

If he comes good our forward line suddenly looks seriously potent:

Jurrah Gumbleton Davey

Petterd Watts Sylvia

The Bombers have made enquiries about a couple of our players recently, including Jones. Perhaps it's worth a punt to sacrifice a player

of that type in order to get Gumby to the club.

If he comes good it would dramatically improve the balance and quality of our forward line.

This is one risk I reckon is worth taking.

Thoughts?

Nathan Jones is non touchable, would we trade Frawley, Trengove, Garland? The answer would be a definite no, and Jones should be included in this group of non touchable trades.He is one of the ''grunt

A Big No from me....Fumbleton gets injured rolling over in his sleep.

You would trade Chunk Jones for that!!

He was a high pick, so obviously he showed something as a junior. His injury problems make me a little wary though. Maybe give them Dunn or Bate? On the other hand we have a lot of young KPF's in the works, so he could be a bit redundant.

He's just the type we need, tall, skinny, no hope of gaining weight and injury prone. He'd fit in well at Casey. We could trade him for Morton or...

No offence RR, but no thanks.

97KG wile being perennially injured

197cm 94kg and if you read the profile on the Essendon board they say he is still too light. The criticism was that he gets pushed out the way too easily.

On the Essendon site they have him as 197cm/97cm. Hardly too light. The criticism of him reflects leg strength not weight. I would have thought his fitness for AFL and not his weight was a problem

Other AFL footballers.....

Fletcher 198/92

Ryder 196/92

Hurley 193/92

Reid 195/91

Richards 193/92

Kozi 197/93

Dawson 195/95

Gilbert 194/90

At 22 he could still build muscle tone and body mass. Its his fitness for AFL that is the issue.

Too great a risk...........move mountains to get Butcher instead......we don't need Luke Molan ver 2.0!

Agree but outbidding other clubs isn't our strong suit. Maybe if we finish 14th we could put ourselves in a good bargaining/trading/drafting place. Bring in the kids.

The answer would be a definite no, and Jones should be included in this group of non touchable trades.He is one of the ''grunts'' of the team and we never see him give up, not like some of our so called other very hot or very cold team members.

Jones or Morton for gumbleton? You'd have to be an idiot...

Maybe for Bate, or Dunn... Or just in the PSD.

Jones for Gumbleton? Drugs are bad mmmkay.

Gumbleton is made out of glass. No thanks!

I don't think we would get any better moving Dunn for Gumbleton. At least Dunny can stay fit. As for Bate- trade doesn't help either team.

Davey is potent? Could have fooled me for the last two seasons. Oh and that's a no to Gumbleton.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
