From memory, he was a late withdrawal against Melb, but, other than that, played the rest of the games. Great effort from Gumby. With all the negativity that has been around at different stages this year, I believe that his return and "birth" as an AFL footballer has been a highlight through. Thanks big fella!!! Look forward to seeing you a bit stronger and in full flight next year.
Should be right for the Grand Final.
Not sure Carlisle is ready but I'd be happy for him to get a run, looks a really impressive prospect with a lovely pair of hands. If the MC decide not to give him a run I wouldnt be putting Hurley up forward he needs to settle down back, I'd be putting Hooker in the rucking rotations and playing Hille/Ryder at CHF.

Me too.
Just glad that he will be back for the finals.
haha we can still hope.
The poor kid just can't take a trick.
Regardless, this has been a really good development year for him and he'll be better next year for this season.
The way he's going he should be able to be a dominant player by 2012
TFS just said they had news on Gumbleton. What could that be?
They said he's in contract talks.

Lets just wait a week and hope its very minor.
In better news, Williams has lost 8KG's! that will go a long way to him regaining a bit of pace on the lead. i hope he keeps putting in a solid pre season
That's the end of him (like Myers) for 2011. Put them on ice until 2012 AT LEAST!!!!!!

Hopefully it does come good in a week, I know from experience that little pains in your knee can amount to something big. Would be a massive shame if it gets worse.
Great to hear Willo has lost 8kgs.

Gotta feel for this guy.
I think with Hird's approach of pushing the players hard in training, we should expect more of these injuries. The players will be battered by the end of the preseason. Either they are built for the rigours of footy or they will break down.
Bad news for Gumby because we already know his body is so fragile. Good news for the team because we weed out the weak. I like it.

For a Gumby he's not all that bendy or flexible.

Im unsure as to why there is so much urine extracting in this post?
The injury to Scott is far worse than has been led on so far.
Fact of the matter is, its an ongoing process that is coming to the end sooner, rather than later.
