Why do people keep mentioning hack fwds who were no good in the first place to replace Gunston...why so they can sit in VFL side? Just pick a kid in the draft and develop from there.
Semi serious, Hammelmann still only 27 years old, maybe we suss him out and tell him if he wants back in and commits to having a massive pre season we can give him another shot, if he doesn't want to put the work in we pass.
I think a bit or perspective is required here though.
Lol , that must of been this time last year
Bit of a shame as he really did seem like he had the attributes to play at the top level
because we are a chance at a premiership. and if someone is injured in September you at least want an experienced strong body who can bring the ball to ground or make life difficult for a defender (hello Billy Frampton) rather than just some 19yo with 2 games experience who shits the bed when the ball comes near them.
It really is a problem ENTIRELY of Fagan's own making. There has been nothing positive to vindicate the decision to pick him up in the first place and then to compound the error, sign him to a two year deal. To characterize Gunston's arrival, performance and impact at our club as anything other than a complete fiasco is completely risible.
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying about Gunston 3KZ but I suspect Jack was a bias / convenient / knee jerk reaction to Dan McStay leaving that clouded better judgement.
Not that it matters because you've been doing this boring bit all year but you do know that it's the list manager that does the actual "list management" of the club, not the coach? It's not the 1980s anymore. You can complain about the bringing in of ex-Hawks players but in the end it's the list manager that makes the calls.
