Every year we send out feelers, every year a couple of clubs 'sniff' Gumby out and then we end up re-signing him to keep our medical and fitness staff busy for another season.

Hopefully something about that cycle changes...

Melbourne was only looking as a 2nd option, Freo still a small chance and no other horses prepared to put a serious offer forward.

Baguley is no better than Henry Slattery, who I defended every bloody week on here.

Give it time, people will be turning on him.

Broughton's a massssssiiiiiiiiivvvvvve upgrade.
C'mon Baguley is better than Slattery!!

If he can play 10+ games next year we'll get some serious offers, assuming he shows reasonable form.

Hopefully he demands a spot for 2014, but his value would have increased markedly. All depends on how quickly JD progresses, too.

Baguley will be a much better player than Slattery - Baguley actually helps his fellow defenders.
Wow.

Like, there's a million facets of the game you can pick to criticise Hank, but you pick the one that he's spent his entire career doing well.

He spent Knights' entire tenure playing on his own man and Dempsey's man.

Bulldogs have a reported 2 year deal on the table, so IF he chooses them over Us, than good riddance.

Please re-sign Gumby!

Do you know what sort of coin you offered?
No idea. I'm just going on what the media outlets are saying. I should also add that one of them reported that he's likely to stay so if that's the case I can't imagine it would be a significant amount more than what Essendon have offered, just an extra year.

Will make things interesting if say you are offering 200-250k over 2 years and we are sticking with 150k for 1.

Is that all Essendon have offered? I thought it would be closer to the $200 - 250k mark. At a guess I'd say we'd offer around that figure considering we'll have to get to 95% of the cap somehow, it could possibly be more.
