    Hunt is from Brighton Grammar. He played in the APS v AGS representative match. Hunt is a quick midfielder/half-back. He is a good kick both sides.

    He has a light frame with plenty of development to build into a good size frame. He is good overhead and has a powerful, good leap.

    Hunt was a gun junior with the likes of Josh Kelly and Christian Salem.

    He had a growth spurt in last couple of years and is a big talent.

    If you're gonna draft someone with a late pick, it's not a bad idea to draft a late developer. Upside etc.

    As was Salem (and Dawes and Watts before that) > Coached by Robert Shaw

    Looks like an exciting type! tall midfielder that sounds a bit like Fyfe...

    @jamesfrawley8 @jesseBhogan boys look out for the Brighton Grammarians ;)

    Think we may have known early about this one.

    Let's lay it on the line. Better than Fyfe!

    I know a little about Jayden. Missed a year of footy in year 11 due to a back injury but returned this year and is seen as having significant upside having starred in APS all star type game. Smooth mover and smart bloke. Was captain of the school tennis team and mother was an athlete of reasonable note. Driven.

    Six players drafted from Sandy Dragons and given Hunt was from BG you get the sense he would've been in their zone but not good enough to make the team in earlier years or start of this year. I read he had a big growth spurt so might have been considered too small at the start of the year and then played with a point to prove.

    Apparently played in the alternative young talent (local leagues, ammo's etc) game that was held at the end of the year against other very decent prospects so I wonder how he went.

    The athletic traits sound good for a rebounding flanker or outside midfielder so who knows. The draft sure gave way after pick 40 in terms of the big name prospects.

    There you go. Tipped me as some kind of injury or alternative talent story that's obviously caught our recruiters eye. Better to get him now than when he dominates the VFL or TAC as an unlucky 19 year old then goes in the first round of the draft. Fingers crossed hey!

    Robert shaw is a brilliant coach of young footballers.

    He is churning them out at BGS.

    Must be something in the sea air for sure.

    Was originally playing off a half forward flank, came back and was playing off half back before moving to the midfield. Made a relatively late decision to opt for the draft

    one of jason taylor / paul roos smokey gems?

    one hopes

    Couldn't rookie him? Interesting one.

    Somehow, Brighton Grammar didn't win the APS premiership, despite having three draftees (2 - Kelly, 9 - Salem, and Hunt) two more who played for Vic Metro U18 (Le Grice and Hayes) and another who played in the Vic U16 team a couple of years ago. That's six guns, and they were all playing the majority of matches.

    Finey on SEN currently absolutely singing his praises.

    Claiming him as the steal of the draft.

    Said he watched a game he played in that had Kelly and Salem in it and said Hunt was BOG by an absolute mile.

    Shaw currently on singing his praises too.

    Dare I say we may have drafted well again!

    Shaw:

    - very small in years 7-9

    - talented, played as a small forward

    - grew a foot in year 10-11

    - moved to half back and was a revelation - played him in the under 23's Young Guns game

    - coordination and dexterity - captain of Tennis

    - ran 11.01 in APS sports for 100m sprint, likes to run and carry

    - light on, not much work with weights or running laps.

    - considers it a clever selection (compared him to Paul Seedsman)

    They booted him off to take more feedback.

    Exactly right. More excited about Hunt's development than Salems.

    I saw him play in APS v AGS ... impressed in patches. I would have thought a rookie option. Very light on build. Was quick and runs with the footy. A punt at #57

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
