Gunston?

1 game in 2021, which isn't an instant worry, however he's struggling to come back from back surgery, that is a worry.
3-4 years ago I would have taken him in a heartbeat, not now
I am not sure I favour a mature ager, Tarrant was just a like for like for Astbury. If we did take one it should be a mid imo

Is it spinal with Gunston? They moved him back one year (2019?) to get some football out of him.
One of his greatest strengths was his ability to convert from tough angles. He was a freak. When you can convert from tough angles you spread the oppo defence - they have to move to the perimeter to cover you. So a dead eye Gunston drew defenders to the boundary and if he wasn't hit he opened space in the middle for other forwards.
A forward who is accurate from dead pockets is a tactical boon. What if you've got two? Say, Breust on the other side? Makes a lot of room in the middle.
That 46.13 Gunston kicked in 2013 was not Joe the Goose stuff. He was converting from anywhere. And was almost 70% for years. He's dropped to 60% since but that's still ok. He's no longer a freak but he's useful. He'd give us variety in attack that we lack.
I can see why we'd be interested in a medical report.

I don’t think it would be a good move. Jack’s got a year left in him. Gunston’s 29, but has some significant injury issues.
Better get you in there to work on that L5 S1 then.
“Does it hurt when I put my elbow here Jack ?? What about when I jump on it ?”
Whose the best upper limb surgeon in Melbourne nowadays ? Ie elbow, finger, shoulders.
Still Greg Hoy ?
