Jayden Hunt: “He’s the type of player we need. We certainly won’t be entertaining anything with Jayden – we think he’s got a lot of upside and look forward to him having a full pre-season and getting back to the form he was in a couple of years ago.” - Josh Mahoney

    Hunt still has so much raw potential, and his improvement is nowhere near complete. Listening to Max Gawn's B&F speech, he remarked how late in 2015 the penny finally dropped for him. I reckon 2018 being a poor year for Hunt might see him rip the 2019 pre-season apart and spring into the footy season in his best nick yet. 

    No he is not a pure footballer like Brayshaw, but his best so far has been electric. I can't wait to see him next year.

    I would really like to see Hunty played on the wing or as a defensive forward.

    Hopefully McCartney can work on these issues.

    All very well to run fast: not sure he thinks as fast as he runs

    It seems to be a widespread problem with out ball movers....

    Only needs one and that is better disposal. 

    We have one hbf ready to finish and he is the replacement.

    Spot on.

    And the club should make Jayden shadow Jordan Lewis around the whole of preseason and make sure he gets some extra kicking tuition from him after every training session until he is an elite feild kick just like him.

    ...would love to see Jayden pull out a few more of those barrel goals like he did end of the third quarter against the Crows last year.  Don't know where that one came out of.

    I find Hunt an intriguing one on our list. With our readiness to turnover the list and let Tyson and hogan go I’m sure they thought long and hard about Hunt. 

    I say i find this one intriguing because outside of pace his skill and footy IQ are towards the bottom end of our list. Also is he improving his skill set ? . He is quick but not agile ( opposite to a Jetta ). He reminds me of a 60s footballer, straight at it long kicker with little finesse. 

     

    I wonder if he is dedicated snough. No evidence but I wonder. I have greater hope for say a Stretch who seems to be so professional. 

     

    So so that’s why I’m intrigued as the footy dept have strong faith in him and you have to back them in as they are developing extremely well. If they can get his game sense up a level and his confidence up we would have a weapon and I would think one of our best achievements. If we can do it.

    He's like Joel Smith, the FD are looking at what he can do. not what he can't do,  They might be competing for a similar role in the fwd 50.

    McCartney’s project players should be Garlett and Hunt this pre season

    Petracca should be the project player of Max Gawn's dietician.

    Quietly putting together a nice year and has been a bit of a revelation up forward this year.

    Already kicked 11 goals and is on track for 25-30 if all goes well.

    One of a handful of experienced players that has improved this year.

    He’s one of the most dangerous players on our list and is one of the few that has the key attribute we lack - pace!

    It’s great he’s past his back injuries that ruined his season last year. Now he’s fit, I’d play him every week. He’s proven capable forward and back, and could be good wingmen also IMO

    He sounds happy and is enjoying it up forward.  Hunt recovers his flare

    Being played out of the square gives us greater flexibility and unpredictability i50.  Played tough 'aggro' footy in the last few weeks and was a key part of our last minute wins vs Hawks and GCS.

    Hunty has some party tricks he was involved in that handball when attacking the ball out wide to Marty that levelled  the scores against GG and 10 seconds or so to go smashed into a pack ball got loose where Harmes kicked it forward to TMAC and the rest is history.

    A feel good story for Jayden for the way he has fought himself back into the side.

    Surely his position in the best 22 is now locked, despite the 4 or 5 injured guns that are to come back (May, Lever, Hibberd, Melksham, Hannan).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
