Essendon have only offered Gumbleton a one year deal (reportedly).
I think we should entertain the idea of luring him with a two year deal if we believe he is medically OK and he comes relatively cheap.
Given they have only offered him a one year deal, one would think their asking price couldn't be too high. But, it is Essendon..
I know that we have a lot of talls but out of those talls (Minson, Cordy, Campbell, Roughead) do you see a really good ruck man coming from there or should we go for someone from another team.
Roughead was being groomed at the start of the season as the number one support ruckman to Minson but with his move to the backline it would seem that Campbell has taken over that mantle. Campbell has emerged as a ruckman for the future for one so young. His palming is actually better than big Will's but does need more ruck work at senior level and more experience to match some of the better ruckmen in the competition.
I think Cordy is still a fair way off being a senior ruckman.
North should have traded him when he had currency.
No idea why they kept him when they a) had better rucks, b) had depth in rucks and c) had holes everywhere else.
