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.

Quote from Melb website.

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

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

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

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.

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
