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?

Stuff confirmation I'll take it.

Conformation is for the weak!

 

CROM!!!

More good news. Keep it coming. 

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

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!

He's like a better version of Sam Blease, good signing.

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

Yet another pick that Jason Taylor nailed.

 

This is great news for Demonland's Sponsorship.  Now let's get Wagner permanently off the Rookie a list. 

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

Jayden Hunt

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.

Ken approves.

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 

I'm going to the rooms to give the boys a spray.

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.

Love his speed. 

Congrats young fella.
