He's got zip and confidence from that package.

The chances of someone this deep in the draft making it are slim. I hope we can get a glimpse in the NAB Cup.

    Wowee the kid can run!

    good marking skills above shoulders and good kicking skills. He is listed as 187cm with a massive growth spurt he had this year I wouldn't be surprise if he gets to 190cm..

    Would make a good wingman half back flanker.

    Yep speculative. High risk, high reward. Obviously thought someone was going to nab him down the line.

    Like most people i said who!!

    But I just watched his highlights package, and those last few runs at the end got me a little excited, he does have some zip!

    I know he is a late pick and raw, but hopefully we can develop him

    Maybe Roos can start his own Melbourne Academy after we appoint the successor and he can develop Smokies like this.

    We have already started this, with Andrew Nichol and Brad Miller, when I spoke to Brad he said he was going to work exclusively with the young guys once the saason is up and running alongside Nichol and of course Welsh at Casey, from what I saw last year at Casey they get along reallly well, so we are already down that track hence the comment from Taylor re 'the development program we have in place"

    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.

    Jeez that run is very impressive. Looks like a bit ofNat Fyfe in the high marking and running.

    Just watched his highlights and have to say his pace is electric. Love that we have taken a genuine punt. Speed was obviously the trait underlined on the recruiters whiteboard this year.

    Not quite electric but close. He represented an APS school in the open 100 metres sprint which means he's fast.

    This is the type of recruit that earn recruiters their money. Finding value late in the draft from players that have circumstances that cause them to drop - things like injury or in Hunts case, late physical development.

    Very true. I really like the look of him but time will tell.

    his highlights shows some scintillating pace and some aerial strength in the air.

    trust in roos / taylor.

    Just for the record where else but "in the air" would one have some aerial strength?

    VERY SURPRISED:

    Played with him as a junior and saw potential but lack of competitiveness due to size.

    Tagged me one game - and for memory I had a day out.

    However, he clearly wasn't drafted for his inside grunt work.

    I did see him a month ago at my exit meeting and was shocked to see his development body-wise in the space of 12 months.

    Tall kid, so I guess I look forward to seeing him develop.

    or on the moon

    maybe in an alternate universe

    or in jack dyer's fertile mind

    So what number were you drafted at, or hoping for a rookie spot?

    If he answered "pick 40 this year" no doubt he'd suddenly be your favourite poster and you'd PM him nude selfies.

    What a stupid (and unnecessarily snide) comment from Satry. His desire to protect 'his boys' from criticism is almost pathological. Jeez a player that hasn't even had his first training session and Satry feels the need to protect him from perceived criticism.

    I say perceived because i for one didn't read InRooswetrust's comments as particularly critical, indeed he emphasized he was surprised (as opposed to bagging Hunt).

    Besides he was talking from a perspective of having actually played against Hunt (and for that matter played on him) so i imagine he might have a better idea than Satyr might from the 2 mins of highlights on DeeTv.

    Or perhaps Satry has been watching Hunt train all year, is good mates and is confident that Hunt is telling the truth when he says he's a gun.

    Couldn't agree more.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
