Geelong Delist Taylor Hunt

[hardtack 10,187]

...worth consideration? I know very little about him, but if we are after mids, he may be wroth a look as a cheap pickup in the PSD?

Nup

[Tough Kent 2,077]

No thanks. Endurance runner, but provides little else. Ordinary disposal. Just a run-with player. He would be a very slight upgrade on Jordie McKenzie/Aidan Riley who are contracted for next year.

Wouldn't mind having a look at Mitch Brown though.

Yes, I was looking at Brown as well, but he has even less runs on the board than Hunt at senior level (although his goal scoring record in the VFL isn't too shabby).

[P-man 13,353]

I liked him early on but he seems to have stalled in his development. On the balance of what I've seen of him recently I'd say no.

[Demon Disciple 11,217]

Agree P-Man, he seems to have stalled big time. I thought he was a decent player (more than decent) prior to this year, no idea what has gone wrong.

He would be a definite upgrade on McKenzie, but as already stated, he's contracted for next year.

[DeeSpencer 23,689]

Low risk. Very low reward.

I'd rather Brown but even then as a rookie. Let's get 3 fresh kids in with 2, 3, 40.

From there be it 53 or PSD we should analyse just what is available.

I don't see the point of rushing to sign a delisted guy. If someone wants them they can have them. If we are giving a guy a second chance lets make sure of it and make him earn it over the next month before the drafts. Picking up Tom Gillies types just waste everyones time and effort.

As a half back: The game got fasted, the Geelong team got slower = harder decision making and more defensive responsibility finding him out

As a tagger: Geelong lost more contested ball, Hunt was shown really only to sneak off and kick the occasional goal on his man but besides from that not do much around the ball.

McKenzie has pretty much never run off his opponent to kick goals, but as a tagger around the contest is likely to provide more than Hunt in terms of actually getting his hands on the ball and laying tackles.

No ...

[ben russell 764]

Mahoney has already stated during the trade period that we have no interest in Taylor Hunt.

[3Dee 1,153]

Tom Gillies... eerrrrrggghhhhhhhh, i had completely forgot about him

[Ethan Tremblay 28,847]

If Geelong couldn't get him up to speed and playing good consistent football then no thanks.

[What 18,810]

isnt he a Jordie McKenzie clone?

[InVINCEable 358]

Big no on him.

Mitch Brown on the other hand.

[Whispering_Jack 28,128]

I understood that when we were suggested to him as a possible trade for Mitch Clark, he refused us. That's not to say we were interested in him anyway but I think it's fair to say we don't require another player who butchers the footy.

Definite no.
