The Scott Gumbleton Thread

Featured Replies

Posted

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?

 

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

You would trade Chunk Jones for that!!

Bex & a lie down please RR....go on.

Too risky in my opinion, can't get a game for essendon due to injury or form so can't see him being any better with us.

 

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.

mabey bate for him

'Maybe'!? I'd take that trade any day of the week.

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.


Laughable to trade Jones for Gumbleton.

Would rookie as a punt.

Morton for Gumbledon any day of the week.

What about a Scully pick - mid teens.

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!

Laughable to trade Jones for Gumbleton.

Laughable to consider trading Jones, full-stop!

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.

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 ''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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
