Re: Gumbleton

Not so sure, Tippett = 22ish plus player, Dawes = 20ish plus player, 41 for Gumby be right on the money I reckon.

Are you familiar with Essendon?

Pick #2, issue is injury not talent. They may even ask for #6 to start with!

If that is the case if Essendon ask for pick 6 then it is a very bad move on our part.

Re: Gumbleton

I can relate to a being that is called "Gumby." But computer says no. Do not recruit.

Re: Gumbleton

Time will tell I guess, no chance in hell would pick 6 be offered, we could land Tippet with 6. If we pay 21 I hope we get a very nice sweetener.

I dont think being the #2 pick 6/7 years ago should have any bearing on current trade value. There is massive risk associated which drives his price down.

Re: Gumbleton

Happy with pick 41 or 47. Worth a gamble but not too high. Pick 21 even with a sweetener is not worth it.

Re: Gumbleton

There are two clubs that I'm never keen to deal with and Essendon is one of them.

I think Gumbleton is worth having a look at. If we think he is fit enough then I'm not against it.

Re: Gumbleton

Here we go again. We seem insistent on repeating history as often as possible at this club.
Now we go for an injury prone dud. Fantastic!
Wouldn't be entirely against the gamble for a PSD pick or a very low 2nd to 3rd rounder but Essendon will want pick 5 and Griffen.

Throw in pick 6 and Luke Dahlhaus.

Re: Gumbleton

Dealing with Essendon should be easier now we have BMAC given his connections there. I would be very surprised if we draft this injury prone player.

Not forgetting Shannon Grant

I think we you end up dancing with the devil whenever you deal with Essendon or Hawthorn.
My preference would be to avoid dealing with them but if they start to string us along then we should back out of it.

Re: Gumbleton

Say it ain't so...please, please, please don't recruit Gumbledumb...spud.

Hopefully our football staff have more brains. I'd rather take our chances in the draft with a youngster. Kristian Jaksch may even be available at 21.

Re: Gumbleton

41 and Sherman.

So which one is it? In one instant you call him a dud, the other he's worth the gamble.

Re: Gumbleton

Never said worth the gamble. Said I wouldn't be against it for the right price, i.e, I think he's a dud but will allow for the possibility that I am wrong so long as we don't give up much.

I thought I was pretty clear, obviously not.

You think he is a dud, but wouldn't be against it for the right price, just in case you're wrong, yeh that's as clear as mud.

Re: Gumbleton

Not a very smart footballer, but did show late in the season that he can kick goals. I'd been happy for him to join us, but at the right price off course.
