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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
