Does this make Hunt dispensable?

I love Hunt but for the right price would you trade? I hear Carlton are keen. 

Yes, I fear Hunt will become Casey depth 

KK improves our backline, assuming he passes medical by Richmond doctor

    certainly makes it more uphill and harder for the lad

    I have firmly swung around and want us to secure May. There are not too many May's out there. 

    And we got one of those few this time last year.

    Usually only one per year.

    Pick 5, 6 and Hunt for pick 1?

    On points alone, 5 and 9 would get 1.  5,6 and Hunt would be overs by a big margin.  Unless we needed the guy who would go at 1, 5 and 6 would be much better value

    This is an excellent get!

    There’s a risk there with his medical history, but a potentially huge reward if he can get through it.

    Great value.

    Not sure about that bit - we don't know what the price is yet do we?

    I regard the KK recruitment as a wingman for the MFC, with HBF a secondary position and option into the future. 

     

    I agree, but I think in time (as early as next year) Salem will move onto a wing. His defensive game is being developed back there to ensure teams can't exploit him going the other way when he does step up to a wing.

    I'd have Salem and KK on wings next year unless we can get Whitfield or Kelly, in which case I'd keep Salem at half back.

    Why? He has never played there.

    He has at times. Mahoney has stated that he sees him as a half back and wing option to bolster the strength of our running midfield.

    Mahoney said on trade radio today that KK has already undergone a full medical at the Dees.

    Sounds like this signing is a definite goer. Great get by our FD.

    Would gladly take a 2nd rounder for Hunt.   Right on pick 30 will do.  We have had some serious magic happen from our picks there   (Fritsch, Melk, Hibberd).

    Mahoney said at the end of the interview that we had no intention of trading Hunt and that we still see him as an important part of our side moving forward.  Seeing how forthright he was with all the information he gave in the interview I'd believe that Hunt isn't going anywhere.

    I hope not. I don't think Salem is a great endurance runner. Moving him on to the wing could result in more hamstring trouble. He reads the play beautifully at half back, makes excellent decisions, wins contests on the ground, defends more than capably against the right opponents and his kicking should only improve if he's encouraged to back himself and flatten the ball out. As Lewis goes out of the side Salem will only get more important at half back.

    KK I think they'll try on the wings because he has the height to kick it to 1 on 1, has a long penetrative kick suited to kick inside 50 or over the top, ran a 10.10 3km time trial and the wing will give him more space to get on to his left.

    That was my read too, and no murmurs as yet tends to support that given how much is out in public domain now

    Sadly I agree... 

    I love hunt and the x factor he brings. But my God he can butcher the ball. 

    Wouldn't mind testing him as a forward for a season though. I remember him v the hawks a few years ago get thrown in there after half time and really added something.

    Given the recent track record of both teams football departments, I reckon we're better at identifying talent. If they say no and we say yes, that's more than enough for me. 

    yet, we have been poor with recycler players or pro scouting i.e. balic, mckenna, bugg, ben kennedy, aiden riley, and many more from the neeld era which l won't go into

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
