2 years. I like Hunt, so I'm happy with this.

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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
