    Weed took 5 year to get consistency in his game. Hunty may  well be the same.  Maybe the penny has finally dropped. Next year may be his year.

    Weed is consistent????

    He is better than Spargo, ANB and Bedford and I leave Pickett on potential ahead of him.  So second best small forward on our list

    Spargo is a better footballer with a footy brain Hunty is an athlete with  sporting ability 
    Probably we have not room for both do I guess each may  survive fir next season depending upon List numbers and our assessment

    Hunt will never be more than a bit player

    Even the most successful teams have their share of "bit players" as you put it.

    Can't delist him after kicking 4 goals must keep he could breakout next season with opportunities.

    If Hunt turns out to be our Mitch Morton in our 2021 premiership side I’ll gladly take back every word ?

    I think he will be at another club next year. I can’t see us offering him more than a one year deal, while I think another club will offer two maybe three years.

    Being talked about as one of the best small forwards OOC this year:the-small-forwards-in-big-demand-who-will-be-this-trade-period-s-dan-butler

    "Hunt, who kicked 21 goals in 2019 as well, offers genuine speed in the front half when stationed there".

    'When stationed there' is the telling part.  He has been played all over the shop and not allowed to settle into a role in the last few years.  Last year he played 21 games but he was not in the fwd line for all of them so a return of 21 goals was excellent.  I think it made him our second/third highest goal scorer in 2019. 

    Not big possession stats but when in the fwd line he knows where the goals are.  He is as feisty and as brave as they come.  Will be shattered ?to lose him and devastated ??if another club plays him to maximise his strengths.

    I'm hearing Hawks are looking at Jayden Hunt. 

    Re-assembling one of the worst playing lists ever fielded seems a counter-intuitive recruiting strategy, but the hawks seem to be pursuing it with vigor. Scully, Frawley, Frost, Fitzpatrick, Cheney off the top of my head. Anyone else we can offload to them? Neeld as head of player development maybe?

    Would be a classic Goodwin move to trade out one of the only quick players we have on the entire list...

    This is the biggest myth on Demonland.

    How did he kick 4 goals from 6 possessions this week if he doesn't have a footy brain?

    He also runs towards goal then turns back and sprints on explosive leads 

    He is a forward

    Hope he stays, i just wonder if we let him walk, then who will we be going after to replace him?

    We are crying out for speed and goal kicking finishing and Jayden has both and can find separation from his opponent. He's is brave and can take contested marks and kick long. We need to sign him up. We can't afford to lose him to a rival club like a Hawthorn.

    Clarkson's mob are interested and whilst they got Frost I don't want them getting Hunt.

    Four weeks ago he was set to be delisted. He has a couple of passable games and ... "Look at me"

    Would be very upset if MFC falls for the three card trick

    When Goodwin traded our last quick player in Frosty our Defence got better. Speed is only valuable if used in the context of the game plan...

    My question on Hunt and his development this year is not about his speed or ability to kick goals, but his ability to complement and serve as a cog within the broader system Goodwins putting together.

    If not, like Frost, then trade him.

    he already has his breakout season in 2017.  looked like the next big thing off half-back

    he is my most frustrating player, such talent, speed, good aggression. I just don't think he concentrates for long enough and applies himself enough.  not sure what the issue is.

    the last 3 seasons he has been inconsistent, can't be risked in the back line. in and out of the side.  I'd open for a trade, especially if it could get us a big fwd

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
