AFTER missing out on Chris Dawes, the Western Bulldogs have looked to Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton to solve its problems up forward and are likely to make a play for him today.

Any interest.

Re: Gumbleton

For pick 41, I would definately consider. He has more upside than Dawes however a bigger risk due to his history of injuries.

Worth a try to help our forward line but one thing that is of concern is his injuries. Who knows if we get him we could help his career and develop him into a quality player. His still in his early 20s.

Re: Gumbleton

He played 6 of the last 7 games this season, kicking 11 goals - including 4 against Hawthorn.

For a pick 47 or something like that - if he was able to get some continuity into him, he would prove a bargain.

But there are plenty of 'if's'. I'm not against taking a punt on him if he comes across for very little. But it would be a punt.

Not sure if there's enough room for him or Williams in the medical room.
Apparently he failed a medical at one of the clubs.
I think we should draft

We already have one injury prone player in Williams I don't think lists can afford 2 nowadays

HAHA. It would be easier dealing with them. We could offer #6 and they'd pull the pin because they wanted #5.

Be disappointed if we gave one of our first rounders for him.

Not worth a first rounder, so we would hope he wouldn't happen. Pick 47 is about right.

For pick 41 I would do it. Nothing more.

You could also put Conney in that category of injury prone players.

Re: Gumbleton

Essendon would want more than a pick in the 40s for him - their first live picks as it stands are #32 and #48.

They'd probably ask for #21 and kick off negotiations from there with offering a sweetener.

It is risky once again with these kind of players as you don't know how it will turn out. It depends how desperate we are in getting a forward. Finding a key forward in the draft is is easy said than done and difficult as KPP players are hard to find.

Re: Gumbleton

He's going to cost at least pick 21 if we want him.

I hope we explore the option of getting him in the PSD.
