2017 Player Reviews: # 29 Jayden Hunt

[Demonland 65,486]

ELECTRIC

The dashing youngster with the shock of blond hair progressed well in 2017. His electric speed and long kicking often allowed him to not only break up lines, but also to greatly unsettle opposing teams.

Hmm!

[Dee Dee 1,046]

Just the type of exciting player footy fans love to watch, someone who keeps the turnstiles clicking over. And a bit of a character to boot (glad we didn't give him the boot a couple of years ago)!!!

It's  Super...Hunt !!  Able to run faster than a locomotive.( well metro ...not too hard ) .. fly for a mark ( sometimes )  kick further than a Pyongyang missile.

By day an average guy...on weekends  he dons his favourite headband and takes on all enemies !!

 

Too much  ??

Great player. I would be considering him for the wing.

[Diamond_Jim 11,827]

Seemed to have a quieter second half to the season but then again so did most of the team. IIRC some teams were tagging him which may have limited his impact.

Will be interesting to see how he goes with Lever in the team.

Became our only 'creator' and teams shut him down and us in the second half of the year.

Really good player though, has trouble hitting spot up kicks but with Hogan up the ground next year will have more room to work with.

they were indeed ...big time

Normally attention to one member of a team releases others...we didnt quite take advantage of that...over to you Simon

plays a very high back flank...not much of an ask to get a bit jiggy in the middle. Suspect this will happen esp with Lever coming in...and others....umm...out

Just a smidge

I hate it when he kicks goals.

9 out of his 10 career goals have come in losses. Infact the only time he kicked a goal in a win was in that famous Hawthorn win of 2016.

Fast becoming, if not already, my favourite player.  Love the way he goes about it- tough, exciting and damaging.

Started the year in amazing form, but stuttered a bit following the concussion in Adelaide.

Key component to out team going forward in the future.

[Stretch Johnson 2,581]

Needs to learn to down gear from 5th to 3rd when he gets himself clear at times.  This will help with his vision and ability to hit targets. 

Confident that he will learn to do that.

Think he's started to do that already.

Well, well, well...isn’t this kid a bit spesh

Love his run and carry, his intensity, he doesn’t mind a tackle and his spot up kicking is getting better all the time

He’s a smart player and will hopefully continue to become an absolute vital part of our side

He’s so important to us in the way he launches that springboard style that we like to play

He’s actually a better defender than Hibberd in my view, so I don’t mind him continuing to be more of a back flanker where Hibberd plays slightly higher

They certainly complement each other nicely

[Dee Zephyr 17,668]

License to thrill!!!

Loving the noise coming from the Members wing when he gets it and goes.

Kicks a great barrel

They should give him a licence to do that into the 50 more - I would bet Garlett would get to the footy first.

He does play wing at times, half back at times, forward to pressure at times, last line of defence at times , he is so quick l miss what he is doing at times. However I don't miss him all of the times.  just some times. SOMETIMES l watch the replay to catch on what he does.

sometimes.
