    Just grabbed this from BigFooty for those who didn’t think he’s worth it:

     

    Would prefer to keep but would definitely be an astute trade for Collingwood.

    Obviously they'd be getting a classy, clever, versatile and consistent forward who has made the AA squad 5 times. However, they key thing from Collingwoods point of view is his performance in finals. Tall forwards typically struggle to impact finals but Gunston goes up a level.

    He has kicked 35 goals from 15 finals (12 of those in Grand Finals) and is pretty unlucky not to have a Norm Smith or 2.

    Compare him to the other forwards on the market...
    Jeremy Cameron has kicked 16 from 9.
    Ben Brown has kicked 9 from 7.

    He even outperforms the best forwards of their finals rivals...
    Hawkins has kicked 33 in 22
    Riewoldt has kicked 25 in 11
    Darling has kicked 30 in 16
    Others (Lynch, Dixon, Hipwood, etc) are largely unproven with fewer than 4 finals.
    Kennedy is the only comparable one with 37 from 16 (but Gunston does a lot more around the ground).

    If only we played finals.

    Fair point, but it would be nice to have the luxury of one player that can go up a level

    He would be a great get, but the Hawks will surely look to re-sign him as a priority. Also, I’m not sure how Collingwood, who are apparently needing to off load players in order to re-sign Moore and De Goey, are now able to fit Gunston into their plans as well?

    A poor mans Mitch Brown. 

    Extremely disparaging of a premiership player.

    Gunston is absolute silk and exactly what we need. He's still younger than me, so he's not too old (for the record, Cale Morton was the first MFC player younger than me).

    ^ Joke’s gone right over old mate’s head with this one…

    FWIW he’s not a better player simply because he played in premierships. That’s like saying Shannon Byrnes was better than Gary Ablett Sr.

    Luke Bruest please.

    We should be pursuing Bruest at seasons end, Would love him at the Dees for minimum chips, can't see it happening though.

    Class act.

    I for one, look forward to having the tallest forwardline in history. Would look great next to Mac Andrew in a pocket.

    I like him but not sure where he fits? TMac, Brown, Jackson, Fritsch, Pickett, Spargo, ANB - I doubt we'd want to drop any of the smalls as we need their pressure game. If Tmacs form holds he's a shoe-in as is Brown. Jackson will continue to get games. He'd basically be backup in case Fritsch got injured or we'd try and play him as a high half forward in the Melksham role from 2018 but again, at whose expense?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
