    That's a good point Ghost Dog. Macka would have a pretty good idea on Gumbleton.

        Re: Gumbleton

        Obviously we can't draft/trade both Stringer and Gumbleton this year, given our other serious injury player issues.
        The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

            Wonder if Macca can get him off the Bombers mates rates. Gumbleton is a smart player who knows how to play forward and find the ball. He knows where to position himself and is a good grab. Much prefer him over Dawes as Dawes has none of these traits. Problem is it is hard letting go of high draft picks for low draft picks. Something tastes bad in the mouth about it and the Bombers will want blood for him.

                I can't see him adding value regardless whatever we give up. Is he a proven AFL or even VFL footballer?
                More of an In Bruges guy?

                    Thats hard to know as he has not been playing football regularly. In a previous post in this thread I said it would be a risky one going for Gumbleton as you don't know how it will go, so there is a lot of uncertainty. Dawes I heard in the sports bulletin this evening is still a slight chance to come to us.

                        He can play, provided he can stay on the park.

                            If we do get him 1eyedog where do you reckon Macca will play him.

                                We have a spot at CHF . The Bombers used him well at times as a target across half forward but I reckon Jones should play that role to take some pressure off him. I'd play Jones high half forward and Gumbleton a bit deeper. I would like Gumby around the 50 where can provide a solid target while still being dangerous around the goals. He's really a forward or he's nothing so in that sense he's fairly limited. Hey, beggers can't be choosers.

                                    I wouldn't mind using 41 on him but as the Bombres think we picked their pocket last year I can't see the deal getting done.

                                        Can't believe you guys are even entertaining his possible recruitment...he is shipment, it will only set us back...we should be recruiting youngsters with the stockpile of early picks we have...build the side from the bottom up.

                                        If we trade for him the football department are officially marbles...there's a perfectly good key position player in Jones sitting under our noses being murdered by the coaching panel. Recruit Gumbledumb and we'll be the laughing stock of the league...

                                                            I see the reasoning behind being interested in at least one of them.

                                                            Is it Dawes at 21 or that you don't want Dawes at all?
