I read in this morning Herald Sun Sports pages that Hunt signed a new contract to 2018? There seem to be no confirmation of this on the MFC Web site?

    Tough, good enough in the air, good size and has that take your breath away speed. Most importantly as well as having a top speed to rival the quickest blokes in the league Hunt's first few steps gets him clear of congestion in most cases.

    See him as part of our young gun squad who it is easy to see play finals footy. 

    And he is fun to watch. 

     

    PS Here's to hoping he goes one better with us than the great uncle Harold's 4 on the trot with the Pies

    Fantastic news, great story of perseverence, well done kid!

    Also vindicates the new way at the Club, saw something and bit the bullet, allowed him the time to get himself right

    Nice!  Now, a Rising Star nomination in the next week or two will do him nicely!  (I can see a couple of nominations coming up, for both Hunt and Petracca...)

    Great article on Hunt Harmes and Wagner and the work Jason Taylor put in. Also proves the enormous influence Brendan McCartney is having on oir young kids!

    Good signing. He's going to be a terrific player.

    He’s already having an impact on AFL games and we look forward to his continued development over the next two years

    Love how he speaks in the third person with such confidence.

    We can only be thankful for that, the only thing they had in common was leg speed and the tendency to try to kick when going flat out, instead of steadying first.

    Cue Redleg: "and some people on here wanted him delisted last year".

    I'm one who thought he would be delisted (deliberate omission of the word "want") last year, and probably picked up on the rookie list, purely because that's what usually happens to players who don't look close after two years on the list.

    Glad to have been wrong and that he's managed to stay fit and tie it all together so far this year.  His dash off half back is impressive and he's got strength in the air that I didn't expect.  I look forward to seeing what he can do over the next few years.

    Really happy with this signing as he provides a point of difference. Looking for Hunt to continue taking the game on and providing some run & carry from half back.

    Spot on. Project player taken with a late pick who plays a handful of underwhelming vfl matches due to form and injury. Probably 100 players have had the same story and after their two years are up they're delisted and never heard of again 

    Very happy for him

    A great video of Jayden running down Amon.  He gives him at least 4mt head start and lays a perfect tackle to drag him down.

    Look forward to seeing those after burners in a lot more games over the next few years.

    Sam would only bother using his pace once he got the ball. Hunt is nothing like him.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
