Sorry...

Glad that trade was done, without having to rely on the PSD - also glad the club stuck to it's guns. Kept our first two picks - ok overall

 

[Cheetah]

Good pick, speculative but certainly a big plus if he can stay fit.

 

[Seppo]

Welcome aboard Scotty.

I called it at the start of the trade period.

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

 

[electricfeel]

yay!

 

[mightymouse75]

About bloody time, that was painfully stretched out.
Could be brilliant, could be a fail.
But are 3rd pick in a shallow draft is nothing lost..
Would hate to play poker with bondy .

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

 

[YelloMit]

Looks pretty good in purple.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Good luck Gumby! Sad to see him go but hope he gets the success he deserves!

 

[E Shed]

Will be a massive get if he can stay on the park. Very excited about this. Can play.

Reckon that he will need to be managed. Long flights and bad backs, can't be a good mix.

OK, when does the season start

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Enjoy

Has FFC considered Gumbleton's "ASADA risk profile" before drafting him?

The question must be asked.

The AFL has let EFC off with a very light slap on the rist, but my understanding was that the sports doping authoritY has reserved its right to issue infraction notices direct to EFC players.

Surely any club signing an EFC player would need to do some DD on this point.

Could these risk factors explain EFC's capitulation at the trade table?

[Gekko71]

When he's fit, he's one hell of a contested mark. Would have liked to have grabbed Pods as well as a back-up while Tabener finds his feet, still you can't have everything. Welcome aboard Gumby!

They arent going to suspend anybody, they can't prove that anybody at Essendon took any banned substances. All the AFL knew is that Hirdy and the boys were being gung ho with their injections program but if they had of had any evidence of doping Hird would of copped a lifetime ban to save the image of the game and ASADA would have moved by now. Hird and the club fought it so hard because they knew that nobody could prove that there was any doping happening. ASADA will be hoping more evidence comes to light and that's why they won't say that they won't charge a player.


Anyway re. Gumbleton, all I can think is that Zac Clarke has a much nicer highlight reel and will probably not be on our list after next year if Pav and Sandi play on and maybe even if they don't. I really don't see Gumby as being better than Kep or Clarke, I hope I'm completely wrong though.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Very happy with Gumby comming aboard. Pick 55 is fair and Freo have pick 58 which is worth practica;;y the same. Hope Freo snap up three young guns in the draft and it will be the start of a successful off season.
