Hansen V Gumby

[Gets!]

If you had had the no 2 pick, who would you have taken?

Hansen for mine. Can play at both ends, courageous and a born leader.

 

[DapperDon]

Havn't seen them enough to comment yet, but what i've heard is Gumby can play both ends quite well, as can Hansen.

both should be good players in the future.

 

[Gets!]

Both will be good no doubt.

Also I like Hansen's kicking style, booming kick.

Tough choice for the recruiting guru's without a doubt.

If I was Essendon I would have went Selwood. Gibbs wasnt an option so the next best midfielder on offer (if not better than Gibbs) was Selwood. We didnt need another KPP in my opinion. And from what Ive seen of Selwood he is pretty damn impressive.

 

[Gets!]

Selwood does look good but KPP don't grow on trees, so Essendon probably made the right call IMO.

Have to remember Geelong were getting Hawkins as a F/S. If this wasn't the case and both Gumby and Selwood were available at their first pick, I have no doubts they would have gone with the Gumby.

we needs midfielders no doubt, but our KPP's are getting on and we also need to fix it before it becomes a major problem, why not fix it in the best KPP draft for some time.

Hansen has impressed me he's a strong mark and massive kick.

 

[sen entertainment bloke]

On disclosed sofar form Hansen.

Hopefully Gumbleton fills out and makes the grade. Hansen looks like having an impact this year. Not so Gumbleton.

Yeah ya probably right, but hopefully the likes of Lloyd and Lucas still have at least 2-3 years in them. Maybe Hanson would have been the better option, considering he's a more natural CHB. Because Im sure both Fletcher and Michael will be gone b4 Lloyd and Lucas.

 

[Nightwolf]

Watched Hansen in the flesh yesterday pretty carefully, really like the look of him. Hes keen, nice size and looks like a footballer. He'll be one hell of a player.

I like Gumby too, but havent seen him at AFL level yet.

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

Hansen got suspended in U 18's footy last year, so he'll probably be a thug.

On that basis I'll take Gumby

 

[KING-JAMES]

Gumbleton on the basis we picked him over hansen when we really needed Hansen's type more. Both will be guns no doubt though, but when i saw Gumbleton at the champs i wanted him.

When I saw Hansen against Fremantle I'm glad we got the one we did.

 

[Jeremias]

If we had the number 2 pick as well, we wouldn't have taken either.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Hansen

 

[TorresIsGod]

If we had the number 2 pick as well, we wouldn't have taken either.

Well, then, who would we have taken with the 2nd pick?

 

[mark73]

If we had the number 2 pick as well, we wouldn't have taken either.

On the recruiting staff?

 

[Pykie]

YEah, you wouldve taken Luenburguer, only because you have one of the worst ruck divisions in about 3 decades of the AFL

 

[Jeremias]

Yes, we would have taken Leuey. That was exactly my point.

 

[Jeremias]

On the recruiting staff?

Nope, but it's pretty ****ing obvious we would have taken Leuey over both Gumby and Hansen.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Yes, we would have taken Leuey. That was exactly my point.

:S

Yep, we would have, but we have Gibbs

And Cain Ackland, a very handy pick up, he's not a hack, he's a very good player!

 

[mark73]

Nope, but it's pretty ****ing obvious we would have taken Leuey over both Gumby and Hansen.

Is it?


Ok.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Seen both of them play, Hanson would be it, plays CHB/CHF
although Gumby is a better contested mark, i would go hanson..just

but i would pick Leuenberg over both of them

 

[Silvagnis]

YEah, you wouldve taken Luenburguer, only because you have one of the worst ruck divisions in about 3 decades of the AFL

At least try and get his name right if you want to come out with your typical crap.

Leuenberger is a gun and your pettyness about Carlton considering the Berger ahead of Hansen takes away from this fact. We would have drafted Hampson and Renouf if Hughes was as cynical as yourself.

 

[Silvagnis]

Is it?


Ok.

Look for the thread Philhawk started on the Carlton board.

I'd take Hansen because Gumbleton is a CHF/ruckmen like Kennedy and we'd have the twin towers at either end.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Both have massive wraps on them, I doubt you could go wrong with either unless injury strikes. As for why Essendon didn't take Selwood, he did have an injury cloud of sorts over him. Maybe Boak?
