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

offer them a 3rd/4th rounder a Bat ect.

Not saying pay overs but would not be terrible imo, maybe frustrating if the injuries continue.

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's hungry for the ball - the only thing his injuries seem to have robbed him of is his leap. as a kid he was a hell of an aerialist. whether it's confidence to leap or an inability to do so remains to be seen.

if he's recovered from his injuries, as he would seem to be, he'd be a great pick up for the dees. let's not forget that our key forward for the second half of 2012 was a defender his entire previous career. our forward stocks are atrocious.

i realise that we probably won't get him - essendon will want pick #13, which is laughable - but i'd love to be proven wrong somehow.

How does Gumby compare to Dawes?

Who'd we prefer, assuming Gumby can stay fit.

I can't believe people are still talking about this slow broken down hack. If we drafted him I guarantee he would spend more time in the medical room than out on the field. Why do you think The Scum only want to offer him a 1 year contract for? They are not stupid & that is exactly what The MFC would be if they wasted a pick on him.

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.

Agreed. He has shown he can play ................ its a question of fitness - and price!

To accommodate Goddard, Essendon will have salary cap issues going forward. With Daniher, Hurley Crameri and Ryder, they may regard Gumbleton as expendable

I haven't followed him closely - just what have his injuries been? If recurrent soft tissue types I agree too great a risk. If "impact" injuries then has he been unlucky? Whatever, the suggestion of straight trade for Petterd, though unlikely, would seem reasonable.

Gumby, when he has been fit he has proven he can well and truely play, he would be a great pick-up tp go along side clark! whengumby has been on the field he has made everyone else look like grasshoppers!!! he's HUGE

As others have said though we do have sellar, and towards the end of the season he seemed to be getting more confident in his body and was really starting to perform :)

Gysberts for Gumbleton would seem pretty logical to me. They are after midfielders and they're probably both worth around pick 30 in this years draft.

I would have no problems with a forward line including Clark, Pederson (Rivers compensation pick) and Gumbleton (Gysberts).

Mate who knows - it's pin the tail on the donkey wiht the HUN

in all serious though - out of Dawes, Pederson and Gumby - Gumby could be the cheapest and play the same role>?? Time weill tell... 3 weeks left

Not for a pick in the 20's tho, as the HUN suggests. thats too much. late 30's or Arriverdeci.

So this is what the war chest is for. Sticky tape to hold Gumby's body parts together.

No way any pick better than 45 could be involved in this.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
