Gumby pick 55

[Jade]

and Sheeds hasn't aged a day since.. at what point are things considered fossilized immortalised?

Around about the time you hold up your fourth one of those bad boys.

 

[pokerspiv]

Your second ruckman doesn't have to play forward. Clarke has shown in the past that he's capable of playing as an outside mid when he's not rucking. A bit like Dean Cox in his younger days.

I'm feeling in my waters that this pick up of Gumby, reminds me of the Elvis pick up.

Elvis was struggling to get on the ground at the Hawks, due to back / hammy issues. Gumby seems to have had similar issues, but now appears to be over it.

Good pick up Gumby, re-united with the Peel Pest ............... Balla.

 

[Freomaniac]

speculative?

I guess... maybe you could have got a gun at 55...

Anyway, good get for you guys in my opinion. Very sad for Essendon supporters but you can't wish him anything other than the best. I hope he wins a flag with you guys. There, I said it.

Good luck Gumby, I'll never forget that goal you kicked at the gabba

Freo got Michael Walters for pick 53 in the 2008 draft... Anything is possible

Don't be surprised if Kepler is played down back going forward. That's where the bombers were trying to groom him to take over from Fletcher, both have similar frames - Gangly. Gives us another option in the backline depth other than Silvagni.

 

[mayne iac]

It's all part of our grand master plan. Dope up to the eyeballs, take the punishment in a year we weren't going to win the flag and send out a team of augmented supermen to win the 2014 flag.

But just because that hurt....

Lloyd and Lucas have a cheek each. Old boy is about to get junky.

Kep played as a tall midfielder/winger at West Perth. Outside, running, enjoying his footy, kicking wafl arse (see 2003 premiership). Let Kep be Kep.

Gumby is a forward. Gumby be forward.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Just don't do a Chrichton to him!

The Seppo kiss of death

 

[believe_it]

Happy to have him. Big question for me is, does this see the end of Keplar "the accidental hero" Bradley. Wonder if there's room for them both on our list. I wouldn't be surprised to see him delisted, as unsentimental as it'd seem.

Difficult to see where he fits now. Addition of Gumby and another preseason for Hannath , Taberner and Zarke. Got a feeling that Clarke is about ripe to take it up to a new level next year.

Sylvia at 27 and Gumbleton at 25 are both at good ages to be coming in and instantly adding
to the strength of the squad

 

[clogged]

I meant to say Clarke will move due to a lack of opportunities.

2012 wants its concerns back.

Back in your retirement lazyboy, Sheeds.

 

[Jimbos1]

Welcome aboard Scotty.

I called it at the start of the trade period.

Happy with snapping up him over Pods and others mentioned...

Yeah Pods would have been a bad move. Maybe if he was 5 years younger..

Turning 28 in November?

 

[Kepfan]

Glad we finally got the gum machine to fremantle!
As far as De listing kepronomicon don't be silly. The man just bleeds class who else can do backflips while kicking for goal, bend time and space and side step voldomort and kick running goals and is a comedy genius?

 

[Lethal]

Sad to see Gumby go, but I sure hope he dominates for you guys.

 

[freo84]

Glad we got the man we wanted at the price we wanted.

Going to be an interesting 2014 with this new look forward line. Some potentially high scoring power up forward now.

I see it something like this:

Mayne Pavlich Sylvia/Fyfe

Ballaz Gumby Walters

Not sure where to put DeBoer though.

 

[free at last]

This is the 1st time in 5+ years that the pursuit of an established key forward has come to fruition for us, possible chronic injuries speculations aside. There will be no meltdown this offseason...

I'll meltdown if we are a chance at drafting McCarthy and don't.

 

[Simmofreo]

People talking about gumbys potential injuries next year are forgetting that Freo did a thorough medical on him. They would not have gone so hard at him they didn't think his body would hold up.

 

[Pusswah]

Brothers from another mother!

More like McPharlin and Balla's had sex. Unf.

Great line up and DeBoer rotating off the bench.

 

[clivenator26]

No pressure but 50 goals will be a walk in the park for Gumby, maybe the Coleman too to go with a flag ; )!

Am very happy we got him, really excited!!

This place will go bananas.

Will happily settle on one of those for a start!
