so, having been savaged by the Black Dog for the last 23 hours, the positivity levels aren't high.
However, I am loving the aerial exploits of Gumbleton. He's starting to make a bit of a habit of taking a screamer; one of these days he could well pull down mark of the year. Once he has some muscle development & can hold his own better in a physical contest he is going to be a marking machine. He's already looking like a speccy specialist; & along with Ryder's athletic ability in the air we could have some serious flying fun in the forward line in coming years.
Anyone got any footage of the mark last night? (Whomb, I'm looking at you :cool:)

It was all leap to. Hopefully we can see alot more aerial exploits from he and Paddy in the near future.

Legend, GW.
Gotta love it when he takes a Hanger. Once he masters the simple one-on-one stuff, he'll be a gun.

Pretty sure it was fairly late in the second quarter. Can anyone confirm? It was even better than the one he took against Carlton. :)

nice one GW :thumbsu:
Don't remember exactly when it was, I've had way to many beers since then
23:33 minutes into the 1st quarter, as per Match Analyser.
Ripper mark :thumbsu:

And we get a midfield that can put it in the right spots instead of 5 metres over his head.

Seems like that's the best spot for it, actually.

Will be up here in a minute. Sorry about the stuttering at the end, couldn't be bothered re-recording to get rid of it.

Hmm, the whole thing looks a bit stuttery. Might have to upload a better one, I'm sure that will tide you over though.

Can anyone provide us with a good size pic?
Can't believe on one week at a time they thought Riewoldt's mark was better than that. Maybe I'm just biased?

Put some meat on this guy and he'll be unstoppable in the air. If he can work on the weights and his kicking over the summer, we'll have secured our CHF for 10 years. Now we just need to work on finding the right full forward.

Nah, leave it 5 metres over his head. Imagine the speccy then! :eek:
Mind you, he'd probably have to get all over Ryder's shoulders, the aforementioned Paddy having already aerially mounted Hille...

Really excited by Gumby. Wish he was a dead-eye kick for goal, but his marking is spectacular
