SPEED HUMP

The pacy Demon’s career hit a speed hump this year as injuries and a loss of form dogged him throughout the season and kept him down to an inauspicious six games. Needs a big pre season to regain favour and MFC selection.

Terrible year by such a promising player lost his mojo when put back in the reserves, needs to work on his kicking if he's going to make it.

Hopefully his back problems dissipate. When fit, he makes our list stronger. Plus he's awesome to watch carrying the ball under his arm!

I’d love to see Hunt back in the team.

It was eluded to by some that he had a difficult year.

I wonder if anybody can shed a little light on if his difficulty was physical or his application or personal issues?

It simply eludes me. Maybe I'm deluded. perhaps I could get alluded. All of them in the nuded...

Hunt should set himself to take Lewis’ spot on a back flank next year. He’s got the tools to do it. We need his pace back there.

Does anyone actually know what were his problems through 2018?

Is it related to the back issues that had him miss most (if not all) of his debut season?  If yes, has he recovered from / learned to manage these?

Is it above the shoulders? Much of what differentiates good from very good from champion sportsmen often is.

Has anyone heard (from reliable sources or from the horse's mouth) how he is approaching the off season / preseason?  Positively? Working on his deficiencies which to my untrained eye seem to be both disposal and decision making / planning?

Thanks for any informed input.

To my mind his best is very good, ie B grade.

A wise man said let's look at what he can do and not what he can't. He has got some special athletic attributes and he's super brave.  We can work on his problem areas.
