Clark kicked about as many goals from general play/crumbs as he did from set shots. About as handy at ground level as a big man gets. Dumb comment.

i'm amazed at the instant rejection of gumbleton on this board. if he arrived at the dees, he'd automatically be the second most skillful tall target we have inside 50. he has nous, he has skill, he

Clark lacking ability at ground level for a big man is flat out wrong. Very adept for a big man at ground level

Ken Fletcher told me that Gumbleton was seen as a gun forward when they drafted him and a lead up player who could kick goals.

Well he wasn't picked at pick 3 because he was a [censored] forward who couldn't lead or kick goals...

Not all players who are rated highly in the draft bring it at AFL level so I would suggest that unless you have something pleasant to say then you say nothing at all Rhaz and Trenners. Take Jack Watts. He was a number one draft pick who will take considerable time before he is turned into a key position player.

Yes, but the weeks Gumbelton has been injury free and playing he has proved himself as a key position player a hell lot more then Jack Watts.

Gumbleton has shown he can preform, AFL level..... He just has to get on the park..... His lack of game time from injury, is alarming....

The Bombers always over price, there fringe players.... They are very difficult to get a win win trade with....

Happy for the club to take a risk with Gumbleton, but only at a reasonable price....

Yep definitely don't want to be stung on a deal, although the bombers are only offering him one year so the fact that his contract is over could work as a bit of leverage.

Obviously I've been a big supporter of the club making a move on Gumby. I think if we can keep him fit he'd be a huge bonus and a big help to Mitch up forward. If we could snare him with a later pick then it would be a huge bonus. I wouldn't want to give too much up for him though. I saw on Bigfooty that someone suggested a swap for Petterd. I would probably be happy with that, although it would be better with a pick thrown our way as well.

Mate you must have absolutely no understanding of other clubs and opposition players if you think we could get gumbleton and a pick for Petterd. That is laughable.

No thanks, if they don't want him I'm sure as hell we don't. Plus he has done nothing, when he has got on the park, to prove he is much better than VFL level; he the type of players we are trying to get rid of.

I thought he had shown he was quite good when fit robbie, he is an injury risk but if no better forward options come through i think we could do alot worse than partnering him with Clark. Can Mark and has a good size body. I thoguht he was getting the best run in recent memory this season at the Dons also. worth a thought if nothing else.

28 Games in six years and they would probably want a top player or a high draft pick in return; nah.

Bombers are notoriously bad traders, always asking way over the odds for their players. The flip side of this is that we don't have to agree to what they ask. He's still well and truly worth making an offer on.

They can have Cook and as a bonus they can keep Gumbleton; now that's fair.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
