...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?

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

Posted

Big no on him.

Mitch Brown on the other hand.

Posted

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.
