Time to have a talk about Jayden

He's an intriguing player. A real enigma for mine. Would love to see him succeed off half back, but I can't see it. I hope I'm wrong, but despite a funny looking set-shot kicking style, it's very effective. It seems to me, a different way to how he kicks the ball around the ground.

    Does he get another contract off the back of today's game??

    Best I've ever seen him balance up to kick on the run today. Nailed 2 difficult chances.

    They like to play him deeper as a forward. I don't think they trust his tank nor his smarts to get to the right spots - both in attack and defensively because otherwise he has such a trick bag as a high half forward with his ability to mark on the lead and to split a game open with pace.

    Seemed to play a bit more on the wing today but still only had 7 touches.

    Hmmm, hard to know what to make of it all really.

    4 goals great return must keep adds another dimension to forward line.

    Absolutely. How many other players have kicked four goals this year?

    His dash and mobility is something to be in awe of. He is a turnover merchant off half back so keep him inside forward 50.

    Looks like he’s returning to 2017 form.

    He’s a keeper for sure and based on today’s output anyone who’d entertain a trade has rocks in their head.

    But kicked four goals and we won by what 19 points.  Don't think he needs to rack up huge numbers of disposals if he keeps hitting the scoreboard like that.

    Wouldn't mind betting that Jayden kicking goals and demanding defensive attention helped Fristch get off the chain in the last quarter as well.

    Maybe we should just delist him for groping Petracca.

    I don't care at all that his hands were in inappropriate places. I care that he's been a complete moron at 3/4 time in a must win game.

    We thought we had the game won and played like it.

    But he won't keep kicking 4 a week because he just doesn't do that. Even 1.5 goals a week seems unlikely. Well done by him for doing it today but it's a luck of the draw thing. 

    I'm defensive of Pickett who gets low disposal totals but whenever he's around the ball he's doing the right things to pressure or create. I don't think that's the case for Hunt and if he's up on the wing he absolutely has to find the ball. If you're wingers aren't finding the ball then you it's unlikely you're moving the ball or spreading well - we saw that, it's called Melbourne 2018.

    Langdon, Baker, Vanders played the bulk of the wing minutes, not sure how much Hunt did, but more time in that role without finding a lot of the ball is a worry.

    Very poor. It’ll now be the media controversy of the week too. I’m disappointed

    Maybe it was a good thing not listening? Goodwin had us playing safe football and playing the opposite of what got us on top in the second qtr. It was Hunt’s attacking run on goal in the last qtr which we needed more of.

    Plenty on here have been pushing him out.

    His role is less ‘physical’ than what it was in 2017. Back then it was the bash and crash attack no matter who you were. I’m seeing less full blown defensive efforts where he puts his body on the line but more of the run, speed, link up and overlap play we know he’s built for,

    And as far as the experts online goes, we all have an opinion and sometimes it doesn’t turn out right.

    Hunt is an athlete and not a footballer.   No defensive aspect to his game and doesn't relish a physical contest.   

     

    He should've been cut last year.

    You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. 

    A Natural Forward with speed to burn,  can take a grab and a great leg to boot.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
