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

Just don't think he is what we need. 2 years ago he has a place in our team, but doesn't suit us now.

Gunston is not a need for us.

Got a few Ade mates and he's something of a scapegoat but has really not impressed either fwd or back. Would need to do something special to find a role at AFL level.

Like many young KPP he might either be taking a bit longer to develop or he might also not be quite good enough.
I'd prefer to keep Lewis Young.

There are a lot of KPDs I'd look at before McAsey. SANFL watchers aren't impressed with his pace and we have a KPD right now with concerns over his pace (Schache) who has every other aspect of his game humming nicely.

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
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.

Looking to add to our ruck depth should be the priority. We don't necessarily need a great player but someone who can contribute. If the player could fill a couple of positions it would be even better.

I think it’s be a lost opportunity to bring in more mature talent in our window. If there’s nothing worth it, Power won’t get someone for the sake of it. But if there are some gettable players we like, I hope we hunt them down and get them.

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.

Re: 2021 Trade Target/s
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?

Not sure about ruck but he has kicked a bag for GWS and with Werribee played forward and back. Sounds like he is a local too. Could be wrong.

North, now running out of options, to offer $10,000,000 to Levi Casboult. Fingers crossed he tells them ‘yes’.

Macca, a weeks a long time in football but with Bruce to miss a lot of football I wonder if we would now run the ruler over Gunston?
