He's shot too imo.

What a joke.
Fullerton plays in the Semi-Final against Melbourne in 2022. Fagan brings Gunston to the club. Gunston largely stinks it up. Fullerton doesn't get a senior game in 2023. Gunston asks to leave at the end of the season.
Played Fages.
At least we can retire this image.
Fullarton not playing is a lot more to do with Tom than it is to do with Jack. Fort was the one Jack kept out of the side.

Consistently close to 50 goals or higher for last 10 years.
49 goal return on a shot season of 2023.
Sensible washup if he goes. We weren't winning any flags with him in the team looking at how the GF was played. And perhaps he presently sees his only role as a player.
Not sure it's the type of reset Mitch would be going for either.
So let's see.

Gunston cost us Pick 48 and a future fourth in the trade to get him to the Lions,12 months of denying another development time, salary cap impact, clogged one spot on the list, heartache to Fages, fan discontent... shal I go on. Not one of our finest moments trading wise.
They kick it to him a lot and he still takes the ruck. But just think he's done overall and will deteriorate . Wasn't much use in the games they needed to win. Would be a backward move for a team like ours.

Look at the bright side, Fagan has finally run out of the old Hawk connections with only Bruest left on their list.
He won't be going to that well for "adding more experience" anymore.

He'll be better than any third tall taking on ruck we had in our forward line and he'll be the no.1 contested mark in our forward line easily. I know it's not going to happen but Hawkins would be the exact big bodied, strong marking forward that will work perfectly in tandem with Daniher and Hipwood.
Imagine Daniher and Hipwood lead to wing, mark, wheel around and aim at Hawkins. Tantalising !

Going to be honest, nothing you've described here is a great loss. Don't rate the development options we had this year anyway, we only made 2 draft picks last year so pick 48 wouldn't have mattered, and a future fourth in this draft looks pretty pointless.
We've had far worse trading blunders than this, Beams and Tom Bell immediately come to mind. Don't tell BRAB but the deal where we swapped basti for Aish and somehow gave up pick 17 was pretty bad (I know we needed academy points that year, but even still) too.

I don't think they've announced his re-signing yet but all the reporting is that its pretty much done now.

One last hail mary to him.
"Yo Tom, we are looking to top up for a Premiership and you get to play alongside another two big forwards, we have a midfield in their prime kicking to you, we are a high scoring team too ! you get to bully Sam DeKoning and Mark Blicavs ! Interested??? "
Just play Big O 70% up forward and have Fort mostly as a ruck
Straight swap for Mitchell Lewis

I'd still like to see us play Cam as full forward, and get someone that can play mid moments and forward time like Degoey/ Martin.
Aiming a bit high , but that type of player would be a big difference, unless , well Cam can get up to speed.
I think he can , but I wouldn't be counting on him in this role like we have been, not next year anyhow.
I do like the sound of TommaHawk taking those vise like grip contested marks for us, but it feels like we are one tall too many for our mix.

We only took one more pick into the draft for points - pick 55. So he cost us the difference between 48 and 55.
Clubs treat those like toilet paper.
I'd agree if we had anyone ready to go for seniors this year. Fort is the most likely candidate and I wouldn't argue he's a developing prospect.
Some agreement here.
Fan discontent isn't a great reason, and I have a vested interest since I have to moderate you lot.
Honestly we've lost bugger all for a season of nothing. It's like the Xav Clarke trade - gamble with low stakes. If it wasn't for the gnashing of teeth on here every time he got selected (in a season in which we still made the GF, so it's not like it cost us) no one would give this a second thought.
Buzz isn’t good. Not having a go at him seems a well liked bloke. But a journeyman that won’t add much.

At absolute most, if you want to claim that playing Gunston cost us 2 wins (laughable), we lost out on being able to whinge about #VICBIAS in terms of the grand final venue - with collingwood being minor premiers we didn't have that.

Cam is our trump card in the middle. Get him a running coach this off-season and tell Rayner his endurance levels will be the difference to us going one step further in 2024. Just let him partner with Neale/Dunkley/McCluggage and see what we can do next year. With Ashcroft unavailable till second half, here's another opportunity for Cam through the middle if he wants to take it.
