GWS have had a pretty average season 2021, with the side not really progressing as they would have liked to off the back of their disappointing 2020.
Josh Kelly is rumoured to be out the door at the end of the year, and with injuries marring the side, the Giants will likely have to make some moves in the market this year.

In no particular order, here are five players which the GWS recruitment team would do well to target and potentially poach.
5. Luke Dunstan
The Saints mid has been in top form when he has featured in season 2021, coming back into the side and making his mark so far.

The 26-year-old had a really stunted 2020, with a pectoral tear ruling him out for a large portion of the season and failing to force his way back in following his recovery.
This year, Dunstan is polling some top level numbers - specifically in his defensive work. The midfielder is averaging 7.8 tackles per game and 26.3 pressure acts per game, elite level figures for an on-baller.
If Josh Kelly were to make a huge exit in the summer, then Dunstan would be a great replacement, with his tenacity and experience being a solid acquisition for Leon Cameron.
Adding to this, his restricted free agency status means that he would cost less than most, making even more sense for GWS to pursue him.
