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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
