Jack Gunston injury

[ben_020285]

Would be great if peeps could add to this thread as news comes to hand. This is all I have from the Hawks website so far:

HAWTHORN is sweating on the fitness of Jack Gunston, with coach Alastair Clarkson suggesting the 22-year-old may miss up to a fortnight after suffering a lower leg injury against the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.

The important forward limped from the field during the final quarter and was unable to return to the fray, with Clarkson admitting the nature of the injury remained unclear in the immediate aftermath of his side's 62 point win in Launceston.

Use one of my last 2 trades, or hope Taylor pulls out a decent score...

Ive got Gunston as my F7 with McGovern as M8 so its not s adisaster for me however im hoping that Robbie Gray goes down another 10 grand this week so I can afford him next week provided Gunston is still out.
I just dont see any other forwards bringing who average under 95.

Theres alot of real negative vibe coming from Clarko in that article you quoted Benny.

given they are playing melbourne does that make them more likely to be conservative with him?

will consider trading him (injury dependant) but theres not many great options around his price range.
I do have wingard as cover - but, it is wingard.

Yeah it doesn't sound great and you would think that even if it is just a little bit sore then he will have a rest against the Dees.

If he is out then I reckon trading him out is the way to go even if he is to miss only the one week. It is SC finals after all.

I'd be surprised if he plays.

[Colty]

I'd be surprised if he plays.

im going to say he is out for 3 weeks

Will not score well with roughy out and him getting the best defender and playing over at freo. Im thinking of trading him before he goes down in price.

Well for me it is to play gunston or kersten so now that if gunston does play, this makes my decision easier on who to field, haha
