Career highlights

Scott Gumbleton (born 3 August 1988) is an Australian rules footballer in the AFL, currently on the list for the Essendon Football Club.

He was picked up at Draft Pick Number 2 in the 2006 AFL Draft. Prior to the Draft, Gumbleton was widely seen as one of the top key position players for his age group, and was expected to be Essendon's first pick in the number 2 spot[citation needed]. As a natural centre half-forward player, Gumbleton's imposing figure places him in the immediate spotlight with the Kangaroos recruiting manager Neville Stibbard already talking of an upcoming rivalry between Gumbleton and the number 3 draft pick Lachlan Hansen who has been described as a natural centre half-back.[1]
