I also like Hunt and share your positivity.

    Hopefully we can settle him in to that half forward/ forward pocket role. Has genuine pace and great goal sense.

    His disposal is still lacking with the way he drops the ball but at 25 you would hope he can make it servicible. Certainly less of an issue being a forward.

    Makes sense to sign him on with Hannan leaving. Plays a very similar role as a pressure forward to can lead up and mark.

    Small forward stocks are still solid with  Spargo, Hunt, Kozzy, Bedford, ANB (tbc)

    Don't love it, don't hate it. I expect 2 years is because there was enough interest elsewhere.

    Isaac Smith doesn't come to us. Nick Hind rumoured to be off to Essendon.

    Hmmmm.

    A 2nd Burgo preseason and full time wing? Or a new forwards coach who can really teach forward pressure?

    Is there going to be something that really finds him a spot?

    Happy with Hunt signing, wanted him to sign more than some of the others that have been announced.

    Onya Jayden!

    I'm OK with this, without being over the moon (but certainly not upset by it).

    A bit surprised it's a two-year deal, but if we get consistent performances closer to his late-season form then there's a future for him in our forward half.

    I have always like him, never sure about where his ability really is.

    • Demonland changed the title to Hunt Re-Signs for 2 years

    IF             2021 is finally the season Jayden Hunt breaks out as a forward with 30+ goals

    THEN      he will help form a lethal Demon attack alongside Ben Brown, Sam Weideman, Luke Jackson, Kysaiah Pickett and Bayley Fritsch that could see the Demons end their Premiership drought.

    I am happy with this.

    Would like to see Jayden Hunt utilize his pace more in 2021 and hopefully cement a spot in the side on a regular basis. He needs to get fitter over the pre-season and work on making sure he has more impact in games. He can kick goals but he needs to build up his possession numbers too. Hopefully Adem Yze can work on improving his field kicking too. I think Jayden should mainly play as a wingman or as a half forward.

    Love Hunty it a great signing for 2 years has a lot to offer. I find that he is  very underrated. I would love to see him play on the half back flank he would break the lines Pace to burn .  Well done l am happy for him and happy he signed.

    Good to hear. If only now his field kicking becomes as good as his goal kicking and get more of the ball.

    Well done Dee's, I really Like Jayden Hunt and a two year deal provides him with the opportunity to show us all just how good he can be. I like what the Dee's are doing it is surely lowering my anxiety levels a hell of a lot. Just need to get Jordan signed up and get a 4 year extension in front of Clayton  The icing on the cake will be bringing in big Ben Brown. I can live with any other changes as long as they are managed in a  win-win manner.

    Thanks Jayden.................!!!!

    Wow!

    This one surprises me a bit.....I am glad though & I just hope that after only 6 games this year, that Goodwin actually plays him & plays him off the HB line where he can use his talent.

    Good luck Jayden

    I'm normally one to be pretty pumped when players re-sign... but I'm not sold on this one.

    I just don't see where he fits in our side.  When he plays forward he hits the scoreboard every now and then, but doesn't get enough of it and doesn't put on nearly enough pressure for a bloke with his pace.  He doesn't do much on a wing and there isn't space for him on half back.

    I'm hoping he proves me wrong over these next two years but I can't get excited about this one.  Just don't rate him as a player.

    Edit - want to add that I mean the above respectfully.  I don't want to be the type to be down on our players and such but this one just isn't doing it for me.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
