Gunston is a fine footballer but do we need another forward?

Odd take - but is the conversation shifting away from "who do we target" to '"do we target anybody"?
I'm really concerned about our ruck depth but we may address that with FA/rookie picks/a DFA and just try and make a few pick swaps to increase our Sam Darcy points.
GIANTS FORWARD WEIGHING UP FUTURE
Out-of-favour Giants forward Jake Riccardi is weighing up his future, with a contract offer from the club sitting on the table.
AFL Media reports that the 21-year old’ management have been in discussions with GWS on a new deal for several weeks as he considers opportunities elsewhere.
Riccardi has been limited to just six senior games in 2021, stuck behind Harry Himmelberg and Jesse Hogan in the Giants’ key forward pecking order.
The report states that given the lack of key forwards on the market, clubs from his home state of Victoria are expected to monitor Riccardi’s end to the season.
Could a Victorian club poach Jake Riccardi?
It comes after the mature-aged product burst onto the scene last year – booting eight goals from his first three AFL games in shortened quarters.
He has kicked 18 goals from six VFL games in 2021 including a big bag of eight majors against Aspley in Round 9.
Riccardi was drafted by the Giants with Pick 41 in the 2019 National Draft after a 38-goal season for VFL club Werribee in the same year when he received Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal honours as the best young talent.
Jack can also play full back too.

What’s Riccardi like as a KF or KB woofers? Can he part time ruck? If any good what would we need to part with?
Putting it here but Josh Kelly has signed for 8 years with GWS.
