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.

mabey bate for him

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.

I would take him in a PSD but not trade.

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.

Trade Morton for him is a better outcome.

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!

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.

Would much rather get games into Cook than pursue Gumbleton.
