Hunt is a professional athlete like Jordan and Tiger Woods.

Was it a fluke when Jordan jumped from the foul line and dunked it?

Was it a fluke when Tiger hit a 30ft put to win the under 16 world championship and announce himself to the world?

Honestly one of the worst posts I have read on demonland and I have been reading since the merger talk.

Comparing Jayden Hunt to Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan is the stupidest thing I've read on Land ever.

Leo Barry fluked a mark once.

If a professional athlete does a dead on the field it is part of their craft.

Hunt’s torp was one of the greatest kicks I have seen. Up there with Blights.

Nice spelling/grammar.

It was a great kick. It does not make his foot disposal great overall.

Let it go. You look foolish.

Only one looking foolish is you. Was a deliberately kicked torp after the siren that went through post height from the wing a fluke?

Welcome to highlight all my grammatical and spelling errors it doesn’t help your poor arguments.

Hunt is a conundrum.  He does have genuine AFL attributes.  He's like a cricketer who needs to hone his game and remove the errors.

It's a coaching and development challenge, but I like what Hunt offers and can see him still being an important part of the team.  There's no reason he still can't improve.

I think the club holds a similar view 'Pro', as do I for what it's worth.

Any talk of a trade was quickly knocked on the head...

I look forward to seeing what he brings this year.

Hunt is highly regarded by Goodwin and co. - how do I know this? (Considering this isn’t coming from a board member I ‘know’ nor talking to staff at training...)

Because they played him against Sydney after being out for an extended period. They rushed him in because he’s a point of difference or just better than similar players we have.

He will earn his games this year that’s for sure. The wing/HBF will have some pretty handy players fighting for spots; Lewis, Jones, Stretch, Fritsch, KK, Salem, and Smith with Hore and Wagner behind those above. Some will have to find a place elsewhere or stay at Casey.

Can’t wait to see him on a wing.

If Hunt can return to form and claim the other wing we could go from no/average wings to seriously dangerous wings. Hunt for elite pace, KK for elite kicking. Here’s hoping one or both of them can stay injury free and build consistency!

Some great upsides to look forward to with these two, LT.

Some great upsides to look forward to with these two, LT. Thinking of Hunt, in particular, he may well be an answer to a role for a 2nd wingman/outside mid. His pace contributions are best when in possession of the ball - and the related gaining of ground before disposal by hand or foot. However, his pace and such an opportunity for ground with such pace is not fully utilised when it might well be - certainly more frequently than running 'with the ball'. He should be given opportunities to run to space the receive, himself - and he is a mighty kick when lined up - leading an opponent metres behind as he dredges space on the ground with that pace to receive within that space. He is an all-out attack machine in this role.

Was KK recruited to play on the wing?

Hard to say, he was probably recruited for outside run but they were probably were hoping his defense and contested ball winning was a bit better. From what he has shown so far we can only really risk him as a forward at the moment.

You recruit players because you think they have the right traits to play the game not especially one position but yes he spent the whole summer training with the mids to play wing and looked pretty good in uncontested drills at training. The groin injury was a set back and he had 2 pretty awful games. Plus the concussion issue raising its head again (pardon the pun).

Need to sort that out and get him playing consistent footy in the VFL, anything more than that would be a bonus for this year.

Reminds me of a non-descript or unmemorable player of the early 80's that played 12 games.  Yes he may have kicked 2 (joe the gooses) when we had a 4 goal breeze against the lowly Fitzroy at the G on a sunny day, but ....meh.

Hope I am wrong.

Injuries aside the Suns did not fight hard to keep KK. Was a little surprised by all those who over the pre season had him as an automatic best 22.

He might make it but at present he is just showing how bad our fringe players in this area are. Can anyone remind me how long the initial signing was of KK.

Hope he makes it but I'm not hanging out for it. Same for that matter goes for Stretch who we all hope makes it but the signs aren't good.

It doesn't look good the same problems he had at Gold Coast hasn't come on like we hoped, no longer in our best 22 (if he ever was, he was in mine). Hoping he can overcome his issues but it doesn't look like it at this stage.

Nice of you to give him a bit of time... please remind me of how long he’s been with the club and how many games he’s played at any level.

80 games is enough to make an immediate impact and he hasn't with his 2 underwhelming games and now he has his concussion issues again as I said it doesn't look good you don't get much time in football.

Give him time. He's had only 2 games with us and hasn't played much footy over the last couple of years. Will get a mix of Casey and senior games this season (injuries permitting).

Was a sensation in his 2nd year, that ability doesn't just disappear.

Only a fool would write him off at this stage

Yeah, sounds like a guy who came third in last year’s Brownlow. Also sounds a little like a certain co-captain that many wanted moved on early in his career (probably the same softcox that want him moved on now... or at least up until last Friday).

Word from the Suns is that they are thrilled with their Super fit young group and are happy to have moved older players on.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
