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?

Talk from where?

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.

Gunstone NO.... BRUEST, HELLL YEAH.🤩

Gonna be an awesome full forward line with Tex and Gunners down there.

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.

Edited by Win4theAges

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?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
