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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
