Traded Jack Gunston [Traded to Brisbane for #48 and F4]

[Sirlemsip]

We had Stokes, Kelly, Chapman, SJ, Hunt, Podsiadly, Byrnes, Varcoe all finish at second clubs. And tbh it's quite ok - it's just a post-script on a decorated career, they'll all be regarded as Geelong champions.

There are heaps of club champions who played out a final year or three at a different club. It doesn't really affect how they were seen in the end.

Exactly.

Nobody ever thinks of Sam Mitchell as an eagle, or Hodge as a Lion.

Even Isaac Smith - unless something crazy happens and Geelong get up again in 2023 he will be looked back on as a Hawk in 10 years time.

It really needs to be an even split in career for a player to be remembered as a two club player:
e.g. Buddy, Judd, Ablett jr

it’s no about how they are remembered, it would just be nice to have some retire one club players and get a send off at that club.

The fact we have lost all of them for nothing just adds to the bitterness. Doesn’t change the legacy they leave behind or anything. Just sucks we have managed to retain so few

I wish we were a mature enough sport to actually be able to handle announcements of departures before season’s end, so Gunston could have a last game at Hawthorn.

One of my favourite days at the footy was the last game of the year in 2015 - SJ, Stokes and Kelly's last games for Geelong. Also some "Dangerfield" bloke's last game for Adelaide...

Not sure about Hodge. He will always be remembered as a Hawk but the Lions seem like his club now. Coaches, always around the boys, Son likely to join the academy, has to hold himself back from saying ‘we’ when commentating.

No doubt Hawks will be his forever club, but in a functional sense, his involvement with us does feel like it’s diluted the hawks connection a bit.

 

[The Nostradamus]

You’d think lions trade for him to not dilute McStay compo

 

[HeHateMe]

Future 3rd probably which would be a win/win in this situation.

But I'd love us to be more creative and try to bundle points + Gunston for one of their 1st's. This one seems unlikely....

Pretty sure I heard him clap in excitement at one of Brisbane's goals in the elimination final, he's a Lion through and through now.

Absolutely.

They’re going to need plenty of points.

Nah the Crows played finals that year

 

[FB19]

Only thing he owes us is to have a word to lions list Mgt to do us a decent trade given they want to keep all of the mcstay compo and to kick poorly against us going forward. Good luck Jack always a hawks hero arguably our best finals player through the 2012-2015 period.

Future third is where it’s at.

Throw in the suitcase too?

nah but the consistency of Gunston may unseat Hipwood

If I was Brisbane I'd tell them to GAGF

I would keep him if I were the Hawks, guaranteed 2 goal forward are hard to get even with a rebuilding team, he is the same average as Daniher and better than Hipwood, pick 36 is cheap and you get 3 years out of him

Jesus christ why the * didn't we think to do that. I'm going to pass this on to the list managers ASAP.

 

[HTPunter]

How much confidence was on page 1, Brisbane and Hawks fans...

Yep. Love Gunston, would have him in a heart beat.

Its possible for him to love both clubs. There doesn't need to be a winner, plenty of Hodge to go around and by the way he is going, there will be even more in 5 years

Not sure you understand how FA works.

Of coarse there is. I said that. I was responding to someone saying ‘no one thinks of Hodge as a Lion’ - I just pointed out that with his ongoing, public connection to us, that wasn’t as true in his case.

Its ok, I wasn't having a go at you

Win win for Lions and Hawks in respect to compo picks they have already/wouldn't have got with Amon.
