Coming off a best and fairest win in 2020, Jack Gunston managed just one game in 2021 because of a back injury that required surgery before the start of the season and again later in the year. Despite some further injury niggles in 2022, Gunston has provided a huge addition this year to the Hawks developing forward group, kicking 15 goals across 10 games.
