Just sticking to the Brownlow medalists, Dempsey, Templeton, Quinlan, Hardie, Wilson, Round...

Lake.

Okay, Money first, Premierships second and culture third.

I get the hint

Re: Gumbleton

Yeah okay but they really were exceptional circumstances don't you think? I should have said prior to the franchises moving in. Ward apparently agonised over the decision and was offered so much money that our club really was bent over the table on that one.

Look I guess McGuiness, Hardie and Magic went too for various reasons, maybe I'm just being a 1eyedog.

Dempsey, Quinlan and Round were nothing more than talented when they left the club, they became outright champions after they left.

Templeton left after coming to the club and stating that he was shot, best you offload me to the D's because Barassi is going to pay you a bucket of money for me.

Yeah look I'm actually struggling to match the quality that's left with the quality that's come in aside from Aker, Hall and Wallace and perhaps Krakouer and Toohey.

Anyway, back to the let's get Gumbleton thread...

Re: Gumbleton

Probably doesn't want to come to us anyway. Like it or not we are a bit of a laughing stock ATM.
Heard a Collingwood show where they were stirring up Cloke? about the possiblity of going to us before signing.

Why Chops?

Why are we the laughing stock of the competition?

Why are you listening to Collingwood shows. Wouldn't you be better off schuduling an appointment to have your appricots kicked in than doing that?

OMG!

Did you seriously just say Dempsey only became a champion once he left?

6 x B & Fs
Brownlow medal (more Brownlow votes than anyone else in history)
Captain of both his club and state
Team of the Century

Demps is right up there with EJ, Charlie, Allan Hopkins, Jack Collins, John Schultz, The Hawk, Chris Grant, KT & Johnno for our top 10 greatest of all time! *

*Apologies to Arthur Olliver, Norm Ware, Harry Hickey, Wally Donald, Scott West and a heap I've probably forgotten.

I happened to see Round and Quinlan from their first games and a saw lot of Gary Dempsey's career at Footscray. I am light years away from agreeing with your comment.

Re: Gumbleton

Back on Gumbleton, will we make a play for him?

I suppose it's to do with the way we play, our ladder position and our prospects.
I heard a 30sec grab on SEN.
Didn't need to hear it, its obvious we are pretty irrelevant ATM.

Speculation is that he'll remain a Bomber.

You could add in Galaxy, Romero and Libba but we have still lost much more than we have ever gained.
As to your reply mentioning Dempsey, Round and Quinlan you must have been watching them play from a parallel universe.
You could not be so much further from the truth.

*edit the exception of Dempsey. I was thinking of Quinlan and Round who both won Brownlows are became far better players after they left.

Scott West was offered a heap to go to Essendon and stayed.

Quinlan

Footscray
Games: 177 (241 goals)

Fitzroy
Games: 189 (576 goals)

Barry Round leaves and wins a Brownlow a few years later at another club.

They were exponentially better players at the second club they played for.

I did not mean to include Dempsey in that statement.
