Legendary Hawk Jack Gunston has finalised a move away to Brisbane after 10 years and over 200 games with Hawthorn.

Gunston's exit paves the way for a younger tall forward to come through the ranks for the Hawks as they continue through their rebuild stage.

He joined the Hawks from Adelaide in 2012 in a trade that included a bunch of late-round picks.

The Lions have offloaded Pick 48 and a future fourth-round selection to get Gunston to the club and provide assistance for key forwards Eric Hipwood and Joe Daniher.

Gunston kicked over 400 goals for the club and is a part of their recent 'dynasty' as a three-time premiership player.

The key forward will be looking for his fourth flag as he joins a club that is well into their premiership window.

It's likely the Hawks will take the pick they receive from the Lions into the draft after having a relatively quiet trade period.
