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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
