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

I watched I a couple of games very seceptically but liked what I saw. He is a big unit now and really surprised me with his acceleration and good kicking. I thought not bad for a bloke coming back from injury and was kicking goals.

I wouldn't mind taking the punt. His best is clearly better than Dawes but injuries make him a risk. If we threw our 4th or 5th pick at him I wouldnt mind.

Essendon of course will ask the earth for him.

Food for thought.

Lyon is no mug. He rates Gumby. Seems he thinks he'd make a handy decoy for Pav.

Freo apparently not overly concerned at Gumbies fitness (as he is NOW)

Hmmm.

Ahhhh, what does he know !

I'm warming to this idea. Be far cheaper than that filthy fellow. Wouldn't cost us 20 , tick and another tick

He's an option. We need options as we mightn't land our first choice. We keep looking though

You must be joking - close to worst kick ever.

Gumby has a horrible kicking action - a bit like James Hirds. Just lets the ball drop with two hands. But his kicking efficiency is good despite how ordinary his action is.

His marking ability is amazing.

He is fit, but can it hold together?

I would trade our pick 45 for him, but I reckon the Bombers won't let him go for that. Pick 20 is probably too much for him.

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting we offer the Bummers 20

Possibly a trade or lower pick package.

It's really more about what Gumby sees as a reason to join. He is after all ooc.

Pretty good summary, I reckon. I think 45 is still a touch high for me (although I wouldn't mind us taking a punt on him). Essendon don't want him - why should they expect much more than a peppercorn for him?

Pick 20 would be absolutely ridiculous.

Surely picks 4 and 20 are being kept for mids

Blogger on HUN Chat this morning said that he spoke to Gumb's dad. Freo have offered a 3 year deal and he is going to take it.

Fair enough, I'd heard it mentioned a few times. Seemed crazy to me.

The Bummers are offering a 1 year contract, so we'd have to offer at least a 2 year contract you would think. A minimal risk if we can pick him up for a 3rd rounder.

WHY ???????????????????????

Gubleton gets injured getting out of bed. He is a terrible kick. Essendon offer of 1-yr is a good one for his injury riddled past.

Let Freo take him and move on.

Mark Neeld - "Quality youth and experience (preferable from a winning culture)". Gumbleton is NEITHER.

At least there looking at other options.

The age seems has reported that Cameron Pedersen Is coming to Melbourne so if we do land Cam I have no problem with getting an Injury prone Tall forward to help out till The Halk is ready.

On AFL Trade radio today, they (Barrett & Wallace) questioned Neeld's approach to Gumbleton.

They said:

1. it seems that MFC have missed the key quality expereinced players they thought they may attract.

2. Gumbleton was not on their radar and now is. Appears to be a scattergun approach to "at least get something"

3. Gumbleton and Clark are too similar, and have no ground ability . Too similar big/ruck style fwds.

I tend to agree. However 30 mins for a coffee to check the air is not a big investment given Neeld was there to meet Hogan and his family.

Gumbleton is injury proned and a big NO from me. No way. Move on. Pass. His kicking is poor.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
