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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
