The Scott Gumbleton Thread

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.

    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.

    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 consider trading Jones, full-stop!

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
