Scott GUMBLETON

2014 Digest:   Quiet in intra-club but had a run in the ruck. That may be significant as an indication Freo doesn’t intend to keep him in cotton wool. His long running injury saga didn’t extend into last year as he missed just three games with minor problems, but Essendon could find a senior place for him only seven times.

2014 NAB Cup:   Injured a hamstring again in second NAB game and faces several weeks out.
