Haven’t heard anything regarding Hunt, but it would make sense to include him to get a Hogan trade over the line in a 3 way trade with Brisbane & Freo.

As an example:

Melb lose Hogan & Hunt, gain pick 5 & 11 & a 3rd rounder

Brisbane lose pick 5 & 2nd & 3rd rounders, gain Neale & Hunt

Freo lose pick 11 & Neale, gain Hogan & 2nd rounder

Some more swapping of 2nd & 3rd rounders probably needs to be built in, but I could see it happening. Our footy dept really rates Hunt however, and would do it reluctantly. I think we’d at least need to get a 2nd rounder for him.

    Hogan's going nowhere. The club said Hunt is going nowhere. Be happy we have both of them. A year is a long time in football Hogan may change his mind about going back to WA. Unfortunately we can't get May but considering the interest we had in him this year hopefully we have a big chance in getting him next year.

    Let’s move this to the ‘confirmed rumours’ thread.

    Brisbane are dead keen on Jayden Hunt. I hope we keep. Very promising player with scope for improvement.

    Don’t automatically disbelieve it either.

    Makes sense. Hunt has played well against them in the past. I’m sure they remember that huge torp just like we do!

    Hunt probably has several suitors. We should not be surprised.

    That huge torp was against Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval.

    Got the location wrong, but the team right. It wasn't against the Lions as implied by ETG.

    If MFC trade J Hunt I will be very very disappointed - sure he had a crap 2018 but he is one player we should hold onto - has pace , is fearless , can break lines ,  and despite question marks on his disposal he has all the skills just needs to fine tune decision making 

    We need more fast attacking players not less I sincerely hope he is going nowhere

    How can the hawks possibly get wingard and Scully? They only have pick 16

    scully would be an end of first round pick?

    Scully will be a late pick

    There's more to it than that. Offensively he blazes away and his kicking isn't efficient enough, particularly at full throttle. Defensively, he's pretty good one on one and a solid spoiler, he just lacks the two way running and positioning in that defensive side of his game IMO.

    Hunt is seriously a very limited footballer.

    Poor disposal

    Lack of game sense

    Poor decision maker

    Explosive player who needs to wirk on his tank.

    If you're offered what you consider overs you take it

    On current form I would agree. I watched him in the VFL GF closely. He had a lack of awareness assessing his options down the field. Pretty much every disposal out of the backline was terrible and the wrong option. 

    When he first burst onto the scene as a senior player he was our only line breaking defender. His attack on the man and ball was pretty inspiring footy to watch. I'm hoping that he's been out of form due to injury and confidence rather than ability. However his disposal has always been somewhat tunnel visioned.

    Agree with your second paragraph which is why I said if the offer is overs you take it.

    Everybody has a price

    In a side that lacks linebreakers we can ill afford to lose Jayden Hunt. He ain’t perfect but you’re underrating him. Seen him play some very good footy particularly on the bigger grounds and I can tell you forwards love it when the footy comes in quick and long the way Hunt can thump it in there. 

    He also doesn’t want for courage. Goes when it’s his turn to go and sticks a decent tackle. 

    Still young with room for improvement. He’s a keep for mine.

    I'd have KK and Fritsch on wings next year, so Hunty is behind a few. He might compete for Lewis' spot if we land May, whose kicking will compliment Salem's and allow us to phase Lewis out (whose lack of pace often out positions us).

    With his vertical leap and pace, Hunt may well be better suited to half forward, but then his kicking will need to improve.

    I'm with PSD on this one. If you get a decent offer, you pull the trigger.

    KK ??? Not really hard at it from what I’ve seen I’m really surprised we are even considering him

    I can see why we’re taking on Kolodjashnij but I do think some are jumping the gun on him being a walk up in our starting 18. Hasn’t really fired a shot for two years and GCS clearly think there are lingering concussion related issues. 

    Not everyone is as tough as Gussy Brayshaw. Not going to be easy for Kolo.

    You don't come 2nd in a B&F in an AFL environment at the tender age of 20 if you're soft. 

    I think you're guessing as to whether he's "hard at it" or not. 

    If we can get him physically right to play he'll be a tremendous acquisition.

    It would be a measure of Whoreform's status as a destination club and AFL favourite should they get both Wingard and Scully.

    There is so much misinformation around it is just laughable.

    On the 2nd back page of the Sun today one journo says Langdon staying with the Pies. Underneath another Journo says Pies want Beams, who wants to go back,  but have no picks, so will use what they get in the Langdon trade.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
