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

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

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. 

Jayden Hunt should be nic named mule 

after his kick breaking Cripps leg.

Out for the rest of season. Hope Jaydens foot is Ok.

Andrew McGrath, the no 1 pick was school captain at BGS as well...
