Preview Trade Week/Month - Keep it all in HERE.

What would you guys honestly offer for Gumbleton?

Second Rounder
We swap 3rd's

 

[HARKER]

The Blues are expected to conduct diligent medical examinations on the former top-ranked draft pick who is out of contract and considering a move after only receiving a one-year extension offer from the Bombers.

​

​

I read that thinking that we'll be conducting a digital medical examination.

+ ellard

+ ellard

Ellard alone would require Gumbleton and a pick for us to do a trade.

Is there a player bummer supporters don't think is worthy of a first rounder on their list?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

No way in hell are we giving Essendon Ellard, a player who would slot into their starting midfield with ease.

 

[HARKER]

We swap 3rd's

Not sure why but that just reads so wrong.

 

[Azul]

Ellard and our 4rd round pick (70) for the Bombers 3nd round (50) is about all we can expect.

If we need to free up a spot to keep Bell, that is...

 

[Cringle]

We could trade Joseph? Joseph and Pick 11 to Essendon for free.

You're joking right? Pick 50 is a speculative pick and Ellard is a proven AFL level footballer. He's worth between a second and third rounder (closer to the second).

No doubt, between #28-#38 would be a solid pick for Ellard in my opinion.
But that's only if we need to cut a player and he wants to leave. Otherwise he's more valuable to us.

I'm being realistic. Pick 50 is 3rd round with all the concessions this year. A mid 3rd round pick is all you'll get for a player who missed rounds 15-21 despite Judd being suspended during much of that period.

Why do so many football fans have amnesia. Ellard has had plenty of good games in the last three years that are just as relevant as the six week period in his career you highlighted.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I'd say you could use Ellard
Just because he didn't get a game in our midfield doesn't mean he wouldn't in yours

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Your name is based on Kyle Reimers, you obviously have no semblance of clue in regards to what makes a footballer.

You have forgot to mention the fact that just like Kyle, he is probably the product of incest.

LOL LONERGAN? why is he even in there

 

[Chism]

You forgetting what board you are on?? I think a read of our rules thread regarding opposition comments is needed.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

LOL LONERGAN? why is he even in there

Isnt he the sniper that runs round through your midfield??
All you're midfielders mold into one form of poor quality

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I hope we get a new medical staff before we conduct this "thorough" examination ... i.e. not the same guys that did the McLean examination, allowed Laidler to come back early and sent Aussie back onto the ground with a broken arm.

Easily the worst decision I've witnessed. zeeCFC

Amnesia? He was banging on the door during those 6 weeks - regularly getting 25+ possessions in the Northern Blues each round. Yet, even with Judd out, he couldn't get a game - the MC preferring first year rookie Tom Bell and second year rookie Ed Curnow. Those 2 are mentioned ahead of Ellard in terms of being trade-bait as we try to free up enough spots on the list.

If Curnow/Bell are worth at best a 2nd round pick at best, what then Ellard?

The discussion was about doing a trade with Essendon. Just try asking for their 2nd round pick (31ish) for Ellard and they'll laugh you out of the room.

why in gods name would ANYONE want Gumbleton?

I never understood this, Ellard blows Curnow out of the water, maybe they're just slightly different types of players, Ellard more offensive, Curnow more defensive.
