Gumbleton - another hamstring injury

[gbatman]

hamstrings and back just aren't up to the game, at least at the top level it seems. Not the first and not the last good footballer who's body fails them.

Yep chocked in 2008. Great sides win back to back flags. Geelong in the period of 2007-2012 have been good but not great.

lol **** me dead.

I'll take 'good' over any shit Carlton have delivered the past 20 years.

1 day and 2 night flags is more than what essendon has produced in the past 20 years.

Don't bother, you're arguing with a guy who thinks Kreuzer would be the best ruckman in the AFL if he played a full season.

 

[Doss]

You know you're in trouble when you're claiming night flags are worth as much as real premierships.

You have no idea on football if you do not think Kreuzer will become the best ruckman in the AFL.

Essendon has produced 2 premierships 3 pre-season cups in the last 20 years.

Do you know how to count? They have won 2.

Can you count to potato?

 

[NUFC Tiger]

very sad to hear - guy deserves some luck more than most other players.

Nicnat says hello, and I wouldn't discount the Burger either - before we even consider Grundy's potential.

 

[mick7]

Terrible luck for the kid.

Poor lad.

 

[cash]

Back running already. INDESTRUCTIBLE

Pulled up sore again.

Key forward Scott Gumbleton, who has a minor hamstring setback in December is also set to be ready for the club’s opening NAB Cup game in under a month.

“He resumed back into full training after the Christmas break ready to go.”

“After a session on the Monday he pulled up a little bit sore so we will just back track him a little bit to make sure he is ready for the NAB Cup,” Corcoran said.

It's not looking good.

 

[Belnakor]

lol this is the guy Essendon wouldn't accept less than a 2nd round pick for?

 

[The Prosecutor]

Guy resumes full training and isn't 100%, so what?

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

lol this is the guy Essendon wouldn't accept less than a 2nd round pick for?

Pick 40ish?

It would have been worth serious consideration.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I heard he died and they just ran him round training Weekend at Bernie's style

 

[MaddAdam]

Unbelievable. You can't help but think it is more than bad luck in some way. So sorry for this kid.

You're suggesting some form of gypsy curse? Or he did bad things in a previous life.

Poor bastard. Much and all as Id like to slag The Weapon for this, Gumby's injuries pre-date the arrival of said "specialist" at the Bombers.

Strikes me as another Jesse W Smith/Lee Walker type situation. All the talent in the world but just cursed by bad luck and a body that won't cash the cheques he writes.

 

[lemon chicken]

Where in the article does it say he re-injured his hamstring to justify bumping this thread?

Yeah, I think he is rooted.

It's getting to the point where he has missed too much footy anyway.

Poor bugger.

..........he pulled up a little bit sore so we will just back track him a little bit.......

This is the scientific term for hamstring injury.

 

[MaddAdam]

Poor bugger.

In the few times he's strung some games together, he's looked the bloody goods alright.

Blame it on the Peel Footy Club !!!!.

They produce the talent, but the bodies fail.

Will play 16 games this year and will kick 40+.
