Junior Clubs: Sandringham Dragons
Clubs:-
Debut: AFL 2010 ( Hawthorn 2012 )
Recruited from: Sandringham U18/Adelaide
Brownlow Votes:-
Strong overhead, clean below his knees and an accurate kick for goal, Gunston overcame an early groin injury to impress in his first year at Hawthorn. The young forward, who crossed from Adelaide at the end of 2011, added further potency to the Hawks’ attack. He booted 39 goals for the season, 37 of them coming from round 11 onwards, and won the club’s best first-year player award. Looks to have a big future in brown and gold.
Draft history: 2009 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Adelaide) no. 29 overall; 2011 NAb AFL Draft traded by Adelaide for selection no. 24, no. 46 and no. 64.
