29yo at the start of next season. On field forward coach, allows Weed and Jacko to learn and get 2nd/3rd best back.  Is durable and could have another 5 years??

Give Haw there 2nd pick back. Frost for Gunston??

    Get him and Issac Smith. Perfect players for what we need. Smith has 2 good years in him, outside, good skills, breaks lines. Like its so obvious that it wont happen because the club will go and get another inside bull.

    Wonder what would be needed to get a deal like that over the line

    Definitely not what I imagined Gunston looked like but there are some odd hair do's these days so anythings possible

    Think he’s exactly what we could use, smart operator and another matchup for sides to actually think about.

    Melksham Or Fritsch out and Gunston in

    Unless we're thinking of binning Melksham I can't see it.

    I’d like to pursue it so we can bin Melksham. Drinks a little too much of his own bathwater and has not played a single really good game this year.

    Gunston is a definite upgrade on either of Melksham or Fritta

    Gunston would be a great get and, if we could offset this by clearing out some of our excess mid-sized forwards at the same time, it would be a double bonus.

    Certainly right there!

    Based on this years performance we'd be padding Smith's retirement fund, even before his injury he'd dropped off a fair bit this year, and with speed as his main weapon slowing I feel he'd end up moving back to the 2s way before Lewis did. 

    Gunston a big yes, I do believe he could play in the same side as Melksham, but Melk would have to get super fit again to be able to play as a high half forward, he's been playing deeper this year and it hasn't been his best year. I'd happily hand over a future 2nd (don't think we can trade this years). Weid, Gunston, Fritter, Melk and Kossie is the pretty good base for a modern forward line.

    I’d trade 2021 2nd round pick for Gunston. Absolutely. 

    Overs for mine

    Hawks want to clean out and if we get him he’d likely be on decent coin for three years, possibly with a fourth year option if triggers are met

    Given that it’d be similar to the Lewis trade the most I’d want to ‘pay’ is a third rounder 

    He’s not a spring chicken, 29 at the start of the 2021 season

    Is Gunston a FA? Surely he's been at the Hawks long enough to qualify for FA. If so I'd grab him and try and get a 2nd rounder for Fritsch.

    If he's not a FA I wouldn't want to trade more than a 3rd rounder for him.

    So why the talk of him leaving? Hawthorn clearing the decks for a hard rebuild? If so they'd be looking at a 2nd round pick which is more than I'd be willing to pay.

    Aim for Gunston in exchange for a future 2nd round. He would add a lot to our firepower.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
