Surprising that ,at 187 cm, Hunt is taller than the great ruckman, John Nicholls.  Probably fairly similar height to our premiership ruckman, Graeme Wise.

hard nosed defender

It's a great point.

Jayden has always being willing to put his body on the line, as evidenced by a range of examples where he has been smashed in a contest, concussed etc.

He know has technical/tactical acumen to act more defensively 'first' then use his assets offensively.

Will be incredibly important for the likes of Higgins and Cameron/Bailey 

Has improved the defensive side of his game significantly, but still creates an attacking threat - particularly in concert with Langdon or through the middle. Still iffy disposal, but now seems to take an easier short option or long to a 50/50 to limit poor turnovers. 

was noticeable yesterday how many times he managed to square marking contests when one on one with the key hawk forwards to help cover for the absence of Petty.

Is not a marginal selection in our team anymore - in fact, with Hibberd seemingly struggling for fitness now, he is the one player that I don’t see that we have an obvious replacement for.

I love that while pace and drive are key assets of his, he’s turned in to a legitimately hard nosed defender in recent years. Toughness and helping his teammates have become the cornerstone of his game, any time he gets to go for a run is just a bonus. Great stuff.

Another great example of our coaching development panel and role playing selection that we have now got at our disposal. And player involvement also. 

Hark back to 2020 and his forward flank days. He is almost unimaginable now in competitiveness body contact and fearless team defense. One day Goody will switch Jayden back up forward and how interesting that might be. 

I also thought Hunt's game yesterday was excellent.  His contests and spoils are a real highlight.

I think he is probably a real form and confidence player when it comes to his foot passing.  Back end of 2021, before he got injured he had become quite reliable at choosing and hitting targets.  First few round of this season he was a bit of a clanger king by foot, but  in recent weeks he's really tidied that up and yesterday I really noticed him putting some really precise and well weighted passes to the advantage of our players running back towards half forward.

Agreed Rod. I think Jaidyn has taken quite a while to get his confidence back after a concussion 3 or 4 seasons back. I don't think a season forward helped him either. Some of his spoils on bigger players last night were excellent.

I saw him warming up pregame a week or so ago. The others were  doing various things, but Hunt was spending his time with choco, practising hit up kicks.

Almost forgot that he's out of contract at season's end and is eligible for free agency.

It'll be interesting to see if he attracts any attention from other clubs. 

Fingers crossed he signs on the dotted line soon.

I'd be almost certain there would be clubs with an interest in him and probably for more money than MFC is willing to offer in the interests of keeping our top players at the club.  However, listening to him tall on the Gus and Gawn podcast the other week, he seems a really genuine sort of character, so unless there was a huge falling out with the MFC, I can't personally see him being anything but a Demon next season.

And his uncle played for the Dees wearing no 29...

If he can fill the hole left by Jetta as someone capable of playing on those super damaging small forwards, that would make him undroppable. 
Has had two very good games.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
