Much rather Gunston than Ben Brown

 

[Jen2310]

Gunston to Pies
Elliot to Hawks
Checkers to Freo
Hogan to Pies???

Don’t think I like it! But maybe it’s good?? I dunno! Thoughts?

Swap Hogan for Taberner.

 

[whiskeytown]

We trade out a player who is the worst butcher going around.
The biggest problem with Phillips is that he does actually get the ball.

I’m not anti Phillips. But, like Aish last year, he is surplus to requirements. We have others who can play that wing role

Phillips has his attributes and at 24 he is in a good age range for a rebuilding club like Hawks of North. Or he adds some needed outside run to a team that wants more of it like Melbourne.

So it’s either Phillips as part of any trade. Or using the mid to late 2nd pick we get from trading Phillips out as part of any Gunston trade.

I see Cox the same way, but doubt there will be many takers

 

[Mkcaptain]

If Gunston was gettable I'd be so keen! He'd be one player I wouldn't mind us overpaying at the trade table for.

 

[Yidaki]

What role exactly will Gunston play in our side? We still need a KPF. That is a gaping hole in our side at the moment.

 

[gopies123]

Other teams wouldn’t have a clue what to do. There’s no team who could man up one Gunston Hogan Degoey and Cox. They’d need a freak show of defenders!

The only problem with this is that I just love the way Checkers goes about it. He is a quintessential pie and I love watching him. There are better options out there for sure, but man this guy...well it would break my heart to see him go. What can I say?

Me too. It’s just the Longmuir connection at Freo. He’s in to him also!! If he goes get Hogan, set him straight (hopefully the BS is behind him anyway) turn him into the next plugger for the next 10 years! Build a new fan favorite!!

Gunston is 28. How many years do we offer him? He could be handy in a coaching role to help develop Degoey Stevo and Kelly! Has helped other teams ex hawks have gone to!

2-3. Still has 2 years left on his Current Contract at Hawks

 

[HFF]

I still maintain Jesse Hogan is our man....

 

[Apex36]

We're not trading our first for Gunston unless we get something good with him in return. Phillips and a 2nd imo is pretty fair.

Mate we’re talking about a contracted player who’s capable at both ends and can kick 50 goals a year. If Checkers was a 50 goal player and someone came and offered us a second rounder and Phillips equivalent you’d laugh him off the board.

 

[whiskeytown]

What role exactly will Gunston play in our side? We still need a KPF. That is a gaping hole in our side at the moment.

192cm Gunston is near enough a KPF. Marks well overhead. Takes one of the bigger KPDs to man up on him.

Gunston in conjunction with De Goey, Mihocek, Cox/Kelly... we then have a number of mobile 190cm plus players up front who are good overhead.

That forward line would be a nightmare to match up on. Small-mid defenders get manhandled and big 195cm defenders are too slow, or can’t keep up

 

[Apex36]

It would be worth it pies biggest issue has always been a reliable goal kicking fwd that can do a bit of everything, not like the first Is gonna be a top 12 pick. Well see how it plays out but Phillips a 2nd won’t even get the convo started

I’d happily trade next years first (stronger draft) and Phillips. We should be trying to upgrade this years first to ensure a pick before Reef imo.

Yeah, I really get it. But jeez I'd miss him.

Both ends? I don't think so, purely a forward no doubt Clarksons thrown him back a few times. I just don't think think at 28 he's worth an early first round

He’s 29 and 6 months by the start of next season.

Phillips/Cox trade value plus a 2nd rounder... is the equivalent of 2x 2nd rounders.

 

[mocamagic]

The same role he's always played.

Logan McDonald wold go to North pick 2 or 3?you’d think. No wonder they’re happy to offfload Brown. If pies can’t trade into top 10 to secure Reef with second pick then trade it out. Get Norfs first rounder 2021 (prob pick 1 or 2) and swap some players (Brown for peanuts)! Happy days!

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't sure why North were happy to move Brown on.

I would think that be the most likely Trade IF Gunston is Traded before our 1st Rounder. We might try and get a 3rd Round Pick back for Points for Daicos or Reef depends which draft the Picks are from

Interested to know what about this you disagree with whiskeytown
Edit: nvm you already answered

I think 192cm is a borderline KPF. I would want someone a little taller in the 195plus range. But I can see your point.

 

[TradeDraft]

Can we get Brown AND Gunston.

Could but need to Trade Future Picks and get rid of Some High Salaries

 

[jhr8]

I would love to get Gunston. Much prefer him to Brown. Gunston can create his own goals as well as mark and is mobile. Creates a dangerous forward line with a good mix of height and young guys improving next year for competition.

This would be my 22 and ideal trade window:

FB: Maynard // Roughead // Crisp
HB: Quaynor // Moore // Noble
C: Daicos // Pendles // Sidebottom
FOLL: Grundy // Adams // Treloar
HF: Gunston // Mihocek // WHE
FF: De Goey // Cox // Stevo
INT: Howe // Elliot // Sier // Phillips

Rotation options

Def: Mayne // Madgen // Keane // Murphy

Mid: Greenwood // Ty Brown // Cal Brown // Bianco // Rantall // Lynch // McInnes

Fwd: Ruscoe // Kelly // JT // Wilson // Cameron

Draft/Trade:

• Trade next years first for first round this year
• Pick best available first pick
• McInnes second pick
• Then look for sliders
• Trade Elliot/Phillips/WHE plus pick/s for Gunston

Delist, trade or retire

Langdon // Varcoe // Beams // Shaz // Dunn // Reid // Broomhead // Appleby // Wills // Tohill // Atu

Lots of cuts unfortunately but I think it’ll be required for next year. Could see 4/5 of those guys retiring regardless.

 

[Johno9911]

2021 First and Phillips for Gunston and something that'll help us get Brown? If we can still hold a pick in the first round of the 2020 draft and gain Gunston and Brown I'd take that as a massive win for us. Hopefully we can trade up a few spots on draft night and get a selection in before the Reef bid.

That really isn’t that much it’s just brining Gunston but that already looks so much better. I’d rather we get rid of Phillips than Elliott. If we could snag a top 10 talent this year it looks quite promising.

 

[bunter]

I think maybe Gunston and Browne are past their prime. Great players and good pickups for not much but a gamble.
if we can’t get Jezza or Hogan use Darcy and Kelly forward. Recruit a defender if possible. I just feel a Hail Mary type scenario for Bucks and co. much as clarko has attempted the last couple of years.
