This.

Not sure about getting rid of Ibbo, but a combination of Roberton/2nd/3rd round picks, even some upgrades if need be, might come close to it. Neither player would cost all that much surely. Pick up a KPP with our first pick on top of those two and we pretty much sort our future KPP issues in one swing.

Agreed ! But I do think that Hansen is the better choice over Gumbleton. Word is that Gumby failed a medical at the Blues with ad discs in his back. Would not want to lose a player and a second round pick for him though. I think that Roberton is certainly worth a second round on his own.
 
Hansen has stronger hands than Gumbleton.

He's a one grab player, who can play at either end.

Ross Lyon might just be what he needs to become a more mature/focused player.

If you guys could snag him for the right price, and one which is a reasonable deal for us (considering he's out of contract and can just walk - meaning we get stuff all?) then he's definitely a better pick up than Gumbleton.

I don't know how anybody could think otherwise, especially with Gumby's history?
 
Both for a reasonable price would be excellent. Hansen is flexiable and has potential but has a few consistency issues that RTB may be able to straighten out. But yeah mix of Draft picks and some fringe players or no go.

What do you think North would be asking?

Great DP BTW.
 
I would have thought the lesson from Goddard and Cloke was Vic's won't travel. Why would Hansen be any different. Putting effort into bringing our (WA) top kids home should be the priority.

First round would go close. Hansen would probably become a star under Lyon.

Not entirely knowledgeable on Roberton, but if he's another mid-sized dour HBF who does plenty of things well but nothing brilliantly, we have those coming out of our ears.

If its a straight swap for the first rounder then I'd happily make that trade

Yeah, almost every one does. Which is why the stories of no Vic club being really interested in Roberton are pretty unsurprising.

I reckon Roberton could play midfield with a bit more size on him, but he's probably never going to be much more than a tall HBF.
 
Honestly he'd be mad to go to GWs over us.
For starters they already have about 3 key forwards that in two years time will be ahead of him so he will be looking to move again cos he won't get a game.
Here at freo we dont have a young key forward that i'd rate over him, so he has monopoly over our FF/CHF positions for 7-8 years. (Pav excluded obviously)

I watched the round 22 game at Etihad and thought Hansen looked quite dangerous.. For mine a much better option than gumby. Worth a punt if the price is right..

I don't think he has enough animal in him for a key forward. I'd rather punt on an untried kid in the draft or Gumby if he's cheap enough. That said, any deal that does not involve our 1st rounder where we could throw in some half back flankers would be ok.

We have tried the untried kid path, Houghton and Shepheard recently and it didn't work out for us, could we have taken more? Sure, but like Lucas Cook, they don't all turn out like Buddy, Roughy or Pav. Those 3 were taken within first 5 picks of the draft, and I can't see us being in that range in the short term.

I'd go for Hansen, he is flexible, seems durable, he is AFL quality, and I'm sure some Ross or Suma lovin could only help him develop.

Because I am concerned gumby may be another list clogging forward, like Jack (on current form) , who can't contribute at an AFL level. Where as Hansen can play, is on recent form better than our other tall marking forwards, bar Pav. Plus the additional spot can allow the club to develop potential KPP. If bondy picks one up in the draft...

If Gumby worked out, Hansen may be able to go back.

We will still develop young KP players, but it takes time. Especially if they are picked up in the second round, which our 1st pick is essentially now.

I think picking up Hansen and Gumby and maintaining our first round pick is unlikely...

and as someone on the D/T Board pointed out, he was in Perth when the supposed failed medical took place.

Very. But we have a long term KPP in Hansen a possible in Gumbleton, and a KP back that we could pick up with our second pick and a bit more time up our sleeve.

This of course all depends on how Freo rate Hansen in comparison with what we would have available with what is now likely to be pick 17 if the Goddard compo pick is used this year and their confidence with Gumby's
medical results. I don't care which way they go as long as we fix our issue with KPP's for the future.

With our history of KPF draft failure including Polak, Murphy and Drum, there is an irony that we are considering Gumby, Hansen and perhaps even glancing at Cook.

everything changes eventually. surely we can get one right sooner rather than later... oh and dont forget ryan murphy and adam campbell
