The problem always used to be "who are we going to sign in the off-season" and luring a "big fish" to the club. How good is it now to know that we have our own "big fish" and we just have to keep them.

    Lifetime of Nippys Iced Chocolate also, just to sweeten the deal.

    Might be looking at upgrading his contract now to make sure it levels out for future years. For example if he's on a fairly base salary now - say $200,000, if we waited until the end of next year and he keeps on the same improvment then his next 3 might cost us $600,000pa ($1.8m). Instead we might look to still pay him the same $2m over 4 years, but be able to bring $300k or more into next season, so when Hogan, Tracc, Oliver etc. come due we've got a bit more in the kitty to keep the band together.

    Hunt's effectiveness rating is enhanced simply by the opposition having to witness the dasher breaking the lines - very demoralising.

    I think it is illegal to own human beings in this day and age Ethan. 

    He can leave but on the way out the door Jayden has to hand back all the bits we have given him like the good back, two extra yards of pace, headbands and the budding cult figure persona.

    A truck full of Nippys?

    Clearly we should be the ones handling this negotiation!

    Sign him and superglue his magnet to the half back flank. Just so happy to have him. It's great to feel like we have the best player of a position in the league. That's how premierships are won. Love you Jayden. Hope the deal is fair for all.

    Jayden has the tools to play wing and forward flank as well. Has gone forward a couple of time with good effect, and he loves a goal...

    Best thing about Hunt is he looks like he can play many parts of the ground. Recently he's been getting a fair few inside 50s, which suggests he's being given a license to cover many parts of the ground. Looked quite comfortable forward as well vs Adelaide (I think?), showed some serious flair, he's got really strong hands for someone who looks fairly skinny.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
