Traded #3: Scott Gumbleton - Traded to Fremantle for pick 55

[yaco55]

Poor Bruno is having a bad off-season.

 

[BomberFan355]

The update on the efc website seems to suggest it isn't too bad.

Thats what they said about most of the 6-7 week injuries this year!

 

[FlyingV]

Whether its bad or not the fact he got one suggests all is not well in Gumbys bod. Looks like Hurleys up forward for now

 

[bombermick]

Could be minor, but you have to expect the worst with Gumby. FFS, he will struggle his entire career.

 

[D-Shackle]

It's hamstring tightness. Not a big deal. They wouldn't have THAT much training left before Christmas anyway.

If it happens again next year when the real stuff starts it'll be a different story.

 

[Doss]

Sometimes, there is no justice in this world.

FFS.

for all those saying 'he's our answer up forward' or 'he's set for a big year' please take note - this guys body cant stand up to the rigors of AFL training and football - hasnt been able to since he arrived at the club over 6 - yes 6 years ago. I feel for the guy, but please.... thank god we only gave him a 1 year deal.

2 hammies already in Winders and Gumby but with their history its not surprising, just dissapointing.

Edit: Just read he was thought to be cured like medicine. Pretty devastating if that was the case then.

 

[dnbassador]

Conflicting reports on herald sun says they are being cautious and giving him a extra week off before Xmas and will be back after

Pretty much just putting him in cotton wool

 

[stugots]

Sounds like this has been blown out of proportion, surprise surprise

Gumby reported 'tightness', he hasnt 'done a hammy', at least not yet.

 

[morebeer]

Yep sure, nothing to see here, the club would be honest with us regarding injuries......

When did Winderlich do his? Not good.

I think it was on the Gold Coast camp.

Hamstring tightness from the TRB is always he has done a 4-week hammy. The only good news is he's done it just before the Xmas break.

Doesn't matter what the club says; the test is when he comes back to full training.

 

[srobbo]

Pfft whatever...if anyone thinks this bloke won't have issues with his body while playing top level footy they're kiddin themselves.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Gives him a chance to get those beach weights up and running! Disappointing bicep/tricep circumference last time I saw a pic of him...

 

[rines]

Unusual that the injury came this early.. usually comes later in preseason after HUN does a puff piece....

 

[Eleven 38]

I thought they always come straight after he signs a contract.

 

[rines]

well at least it gives us something to talk about over summer

 

[Drummer_19]

Took that medicine and he was cured tho yeh , bruno?

 

[grizzly_bear5]

Have to feel sorry for the guy. Was he this injury prone before joining Essendon?

Well I think he was born with a back condition that no one noticed until after he was drafted, and that back problem is the cause of all the soft tissue problems.

This will never end. Injuries at the start of the year, has to start off slowly and comes home like a train towards the end of the year.
