Traded #3: Scott Gumbleton - Traded to Fremantle for pick 55

[Charliebrow 16]

Definitely. I didn't expect him to leave, and from what I've heard he's enjoying his life as a Bomber.

Heard he's also sick of getting injured too, but of course that could just be a rumour from the media?

Great news, he'll be a good player for us for many years once he gets his body right. He's still young which is an added bonus.
I had no idea he was 199cm tall!

New contract, nice one Gumby.

 

[Spikey]

The Peel Thunder colt is happy with his life at Windy Hill. Let's hope he comes good.

Glad i took those photos of him at his last game in the WAFL. Might be worth something yet...

Speaking of which. Kyle is yet to re-sign, Wasn't he at Peel too?

 

[retroparty]

Jeez for a moment there you had me worried I thought it said resigned.

Good to see that Essendon want Gumby. He will be a force in a couple of years and will be the key player in our next premiership.

I hope he has a speedy recovery and can get some good form going so he can make an impact in the 2nd half of 08 in the seniors.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Good to see him sign on.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

magic. Puts all the ridiculous rumours to bed. Now we will get to see what will hopefully be the awesome force of nature that is Gumby!

 

[big_slick]

That's fantastic news. He has signed till 2010, the year that the Gold Coast team has access to uncontracted players? Surely they couldn't poach him.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Fantastic news.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Strange.

There were plenty of people of bigfooty who knew his family, friends and pets and they said he was coming back.

Good news. I hope he gets to play the last half of the season and gets some games under his belt.

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

Great news!!
Look forward to seeing him back out there!

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

great! hopefully see him by the start of next year... fingers crossed.

He's back in 3-4 weeks apparently.

Try 1-2

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Try 1-2

Even better.

Though, he'll have 2 weeks in the ressies, so 3-4

 

[Lance Uppercut]

by christ we need him to come back and provide a target until Lucas returns. Obviously you can't rely on a rookie, but our forward line today was ____ing awful, which was mainly through supply - long bombed directionless shithouse kicks. We need some kind of presence at CHF

Re: 3. Scott Gumbleton

In the latest edition of the "Bomber Magazine" Gumby is asked, in the section "Mad Minute," if he ran a factory what would it produce. His answer: "Hamstrings." It's good to see the young bloke can stay positive when he has had such bad luck with his hammys.

I took that as something that's really sad. A kid in his second year, highly touted, and in a 1 minute interview, he mentions his hamstring injuries twice.

Great news, Lets see if he can break the record for most tweaked hammys in a career. I know its not his fault but im getting really fed up. Time to get rid of that conditioning coach John Quinn as in previous years we have had last quarter fade outs all the way back to 2001-02 now the last few season essendon have either had so many soft tissue injuries and last year where easily the most unfit team in the comp. John Quinn has served his time now its time to move on. Lets hope this big kid gumby gets on the field and becomes a champion but if he pulls a few more hammys he will be another wasted draft pick. fingers crossed

I hear you mate we are all frustrated but the kid is still growing and developing. I think once his body gets to the level where its strong he will be allright. About being the most unfit i agree and also lazy and dumb as well. I dont think john quinn is at fault, there must be others behind the scenes and the football department.

jesus ____ing christ we have some chicken littles who support our club.

Give the guy a ____ing break! He's a 2nd year player who's still growing for ____s sake. What did you expect? You want him to be Carey circa 99 in his 2nd year?

Some of the attitudes around here disgust me. You can really see the calibre of the poster when the losses start to mount

Re: 3. Scott Gumbleton

That is good, much needed player to our team. can't wait to see him out there again.

Re: 3. Scott Gumbleton

The sense I got from it is that it's really playing on his mind a lot.

I hope that's not the case.

It sounds like he loves Melbourne and loves his footy, so that's good at least.
