Player Watch Jack Gunston!

[Nathan Detroit]

Bring him home.

I hope I don't offend but I personally would find this amazing and wonderful. Such a great player for us and it just feels right. I don't care if he sees the field I just want him back.

Which only makes me want to double down LOL
Sorry currently in Dominican Republic and somewhat tipsy so pretty lighthearted about everything at the moment.

What are you on about. How could that offend anyone?

I was driving in my car and heard the news - felt as happy as a clam. He's a superb player but he's also a great mentor from what I can gather from different player anecdotes (Dylan Moore and Charlie Cameron spring to mind). Offer him at least a year as a player and then a coaching role...

Happy to be corrected, but I think no.19 is available as well.

Yeah sorry mate. Just seems like anything said in this forum is sure to offend someone.

And now you're apologising to me! No need, it's all good. Let's just hope he comes back. Would LOVE to see it.

I’m not sure what role Sam Mitchell has in mind for Grainger-Barras & Serong, but having Gunston alongside them next year will be highly valuable for their development.

 

[Perko2017]

Bring him home and he can mentor another Beauie Sharks kid, Calsher Dear.

It's their problem if they're offended.
Don't let them affect what you want to contribute.

Great news.

Ive noticed over his journey that Gunners tends to have cycles in his form / health.

He can have quite a poor year (by his lofty standards) yet follow up with a really strong season the year after.

Hopefully the Lions had him on one of his 'down" years and he comes back to us in 2024 and gets his mojo back.

Our forward line always looks better when we have a Bruest / Gunston combo. Two very, very smart and skillful footballers that the opposition has to pay respect to (unlike this year when I felt opposition backlines treated our forwards apart from Lewis with borderline contempt at times).

Edit I should have said "apart from Lewis and Bruest with borderline contempt"

It’s a one off year and he brings leadership. On field coach

 

[RobHawk]

I know he is a different type of player but if gunners had been fit for the grand final and was picked over Hipwood ,Brisbane might have saluted

I read he was fit but got left out?

 

[HedgeFund]

Correct.

Now he is a year older, and he's probably had a post-season chat with Fagan and not liked what he has been told about 2024.

now. Hopefully gunner can find a bit of his old form great reinforcement for a forward line that’s light on.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

I love Gunston and appreciate all that he has done but I am really struggling to see the point here. He's 32 next week and his best days are a long way behind him. We have Breust in the front 50 providing experience and we should be pumping games into young players.

I fully expect to be shot down for having this opinion and that is ok but I am not sure what the benefit is to Hawthorn. I think we have moved on.

 

[Dr.J]

Best mates with Bruest but that wasn't enough to stop him leaving in the first place.

Maybe it's a lesson for our list - The grass isn't always greener.....

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[fugitive]

We couldn’t squeeze in our second best defender so no chance Fages would have risked Gunston with his hit & miss form and TBH we looked a better side without him for most of the year.

I read he was fit but got left out?

type Key Contested forward, sure. But he's not. I'd rather put the games into younger players.
