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

    Yes

    Gunston is a star. Great pair of hands and a great kick

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
