    I honestly don't care where he goes as long as it's not here.

      I know there are wraps on Gumbys tank but quite frankly I haven't seen it (maybe thats because he can't get on the park). Hill is a similar size, I think Hills hands are better and his kicking just as good. If we are looking at a full forward rather than CHF in the Riewoldt mold I'd prefer to stick with Hill.

        I'd hope so, but given debuts were handed out like confetti this year and he wasn't even named as an emergency I am unconvinced.

            Would you pay pick 5? That's what he'd cost.

              Chops I agree. I think that one would hurt us.

              However, for the right price.....no one is safe

                Lachy Hanson from North also apparently has a tank similar to Reiwolt but having it and using it are different things. I would have Gumby no worries but not for any great cost. I would trade Shermo for him but not Grant for example.

                  Essendon could actually use a player like Sherman but I doubt knowing Essendon it would get the job done. Gumbleton's other concern outside of injury issues is he's a pretty average kick with a dodgy ball drop. We have quite a bit of that already.

                  I've said in other threads I'd be open to getting Gumbleton but it would need to cost very little, he has upside but there's no certainty it'll ever be realised.

                    Well SS, it seems like some would pay pick 5 for Hoskin-Elliot, so yeah I might do pick 5 for mckenzie.

                      I'm not really sure we'd get a great deal for him, and if we did trade him out I'd be concerned about our inability to turn him in to a player that can provide value to our club, considering his talent and our current coaching panel's ethos of being educators. Afterall, if anyone needs educating it's Justin Sherman.

                      He played some excellent football for us prior to the racism issue last year, and I can't help but think that his deterioration as a player has been just as much a fault of the club as it has been of his.

                      Of course, without being close enough it's hard to tell, and either way, things need to turn around pretty quickly for him.
                      TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                              Hanson would probably be our best forward.

                              Today's game so far shows us how much potential Roberts has though - well ahead of Panos & Hill for mine.

                                Does make you wonder what phase 2 compensation concoction the AFL will soon manufacture to prop up a leaking Gold Coast Sun's ? Whatever it is somehow we'll again be on the wrong end of it.
