Met him in the rooms after the game on Monday.  Hell of a nice kid.

Uncle is Andy Moir, former Dees player 1977-81.

Absolutely love this kid. Cult hero. Quick, hard competitor, loves his footy. Would absolutely destroy games if he learns to lower his eyes and drill a target in the fwd 50.

Yep, all of the above. I just love the crowd noise when he tucks the ball under his arm and takes off. Exhilarating stuff I tell my boy "that's what I pay to come and see", he tells me "we're mem

They were talking about hunt and johanisen on league teams, they were saying how jj pretty much gave up after being targeted by swans and brereton said if it was hunt that was targeted he would probab

It was interesting during the Collingwood game to see him running forward a lot, gaining great ground and space, but also being gradually pushed wider and wider, limiting his options for the inside 50 kick, both as far as having to kick around his body more and not facing the way he should be watching for targets.

I wonder if it is as simple as Hunt is still adjusting to being up the ground, whereas in the past coming from from defence it was perferctly sensible to drift to the wings, as the ground opens up in front of you and it is the safer option as you rebound anyway.

Whatever it takes to correct it, he'll be even more exciting once he can point his run to some slightly more direct paths.

Hunt had never played any TAC Cup footy and was pretty small. Hence he wasn't on most clubs' radar. He really only came into contention because Robert Shaw mentioned him to Jason Taylor who had gone to Brighton Grammar to see Kelly and Salem.  Hunt also grew five-inches in Year 11 and thus became a decent prospect with his pace and hardness.

BGS, about the smallest APS school, certainly seem to play above their weight with 10% of last year's MFC List originating from there - Dawes, Watts, Salem, Hunt.  Robert Shaw's influence more recently, though I think he arrived post Dawes and Watts  

Must love playing in red n blue.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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
