Nope. Loves the club and the non-fishbowl environment.

We won't make the finals, and no it won't make a difference.
Carlile is 192 cm 100 kg gorilla. From the games that I have seen him play he is excellent defensively and is an upgrade on Goose, who has trouble staying on the park. As to Dal Santo he would not be the number one mid like he is at St. Kilda, where he has been playing more and more inside roles. At the Lions the likes of Moloney, Redden and Rockliff will do that work for him allowing him to spread from contests. He is elite in that situation and will teach blokes like Karn, Rich, Polec, Mayes etc. His inclusion would also free up Rich. Te Lions are one of the worst teams for run and carry from contested situations and nothing has changed in the last 5 years. Best of all they both cost us nothing.
Both WA clubs had their chance and they snubbed him.
From what I heard when I was out west a few years ago, apparently he was quite offended by both clubs passing on him after both expressed more than an interest prior to him being drafted.
So in saying that, I reckon if there was ever a chance he did decide to leave, which I don't, it wouldn't be to either WA side, and rightly so.

u said we past him on our second pick
Antman78
Team Captain
My guess would be that Eagle's had planned to pick Rich, however the low balling
by melbourne selecting Watts changed that equation, much like we were expected to pick Ziebell. Either way doubt Rich would leave.

o
oh god.... He doesn't have to, he basically gave it away... Geeez
Are you illiterate?
I said BOTH WA clubs had their chance and they snubbed him, right. You do realise there are two clubs in WA right?
You then follow up with "u said we past him on our second pick", correct?
I then followed up with "can you please quote where I said anything of the sort", obviously in reference to, and I will spell this out as clearly as remotely possible: Quote, where I said West Coast passed on Rich with their second pick?
If you can quote where I said West Coast passed up Rich with their second pick, then you got me, but otherwise, you have just made a fool of yourself.

it's called paraphrasing, you said"both clubs snubbed him" meaning ignored him, Rich was going to be a top 10, we only 1 pick in the top 10, which basically means you're we passed on him. But i'll leave it at that.
Dkalphyliveson, this isn't going well. Off you go, mate.

guys he failed a medical with freo and im pretty sure western bulldogs, he had shocking fitness, if he looked after himself better he'd be long gone from the bombers
Jobe Watson said about a week ago that the Western Bulldogs offered Gumbleton a lucrative 3 year deal at the end of last season. On the advice of Watson, his friend, captain and housemate, he rejected the offer and signed a one year deal to remain at the Bombers. Doesn't sound like the intentions of someone that wants to leave the Bombers.

Although your point maybe very valid, there were many sources saying that gumbleton was freo bound, although freo wasn't happy with gumbletons fitness levels.
as to western bulldogs involvement, i'm not very knowledgible
