Keep sending him out there to play. Don’t go dropping him yet. Gumby more than anyone else needs confidence. Needs to know he has the support to go out there are keep trying.

Nup he's done. Can't mark, doesn't lead. He just isn't AFL standard imo. If he can get games at another club then i wish him the best. He isn't anywhere near our best 22. Joe should be getting games ahead of him- at least he is the future. Gumby tries hard but just isn't good enough.
just play Daniher for the rest of the season. Get some games into him, hes the future........
Will master the 'mark whilst having team mates sit ball on head whilst giving defender(s) multiple opportunities to spoil' technique soon.
Gets plenty of chances.

catch any of JD in 2's yesterday??? give me a spell champ
Spoke to a prominent Carlton person yesterday at Etihad. He said that Carlton were preparing big offers for both Gumby and Crameri & that Crameri’s management put negotiations with Essendon on hold despite having a 2 year contract put on the table by Essendon.
Gumby has attracted a lot of interest already supposedly with Freo & the Dogs contacting his management. I’d suggest that Gumby is likely gone at years end.
On a side note, he also told me that Yarran is “as good as gone” from Carlton & that they knew that the WA clubs had already sought out his management.
Much better forwards than he have had worse games than he's had recently.
The whole forward line, bar Winderlich for the short time he was there, had a terrible game today. Gumbleton's job was again made difficult by slow, stuttery forward entries and kicks that sat on (or went over) his head.
Keep him in. We won't gain anything by dropping him
Daniher played well in a dismal performance by the team in the VFL, he was taking a lot of contested grabs and unselfishly passed to other players up forward.
Gumby needs 5 games in a row of game time, no use dropping him. We need the depth of more players getting more game time. Because injuries are still an issue at the club. Even if they weren't an issue, you need to share the game time evenly outside of the usual 22. Because that's how you build a well rounded team of players coming in when needed and playing well.
It's the only way to do it. (I think)
Hurley? Give him time for his hands to heal.
I’m pretty much 100% sure he’ll be dropped when Hurley and Crameri return, and he’ll accept an offer from another club to get constant senior opportunities.
Can’t blame him, good luck to him.
Pleased to see him get another game under his belt - can't be accused of not giving him a go. Believe we need to give him 3 more and then trade. Hopefully he will do something to add some currency. Have been a fan for a number of years but on his performances this year IMO he has now future at EFC. Obvious that we need to swap him for another hard bodies mid.

have you caught any of gumby lately. Give us a spell champ. Joe would provide a hell off a lot more mate.

Gumby and Crameri leave and our 'goal-kicking' depth is screwed. We'd need established goal kickers in return.
Daniher has done next to nothing the last few times he's played in the seniors (certainly less than Gumbleton!), plus he's young and has many years ahead in which to prove himself. Gumbleton no longer has that luxury. He needs to get his chances now.
No Daniher. How many games are you allowed to play before becoming ineligible for rising start next year? :)

I suspect that he'll have the next 3 weeks to prove his body is right and consolidate his trade value.

do you even go to games ??? have you a clue?
Gumby stays in for mine. I though he fought reasonably well considering the ball was either kicked on top of his head in a 3-on-1 contest, or it was kicked to the defender's advantage in a 1-on-1. He is criticised for his lack of ground level ability which is certainly a liability, but he did lay 4 tackles today which is less than only four other players in the team.
I don't think he has much of a future with us, but our best option right now is to keep playing him.

I have seen all of gumby's games in the AFL this year. Seen Joe's games in the afl this year. I would rather have Joe in the team(who is the future!) than a guy who cannot produce a 2nd effort and is a liability on the field.
Why give games to a guy if you are just going to trade him or delist him at the end of the season? Makes no sense at all.
Gumbelton has had his chances this year and he hasn't taken them. End of story.
