I mean he is definitely better than taking a chance on a third round pick after we win the flag next year.

    Can play, can gut run and can hit a kick inside 50 he  immediately fills a required starting 18 position on the wing. The low pick, lower coin is the balance of the risk we are taking on his prior alleged off field challenges.

    The two doggies lads that we've picked up are almost no names to me (says alot given I've watched alot of their games against us and generally). However I'm guessing our FD rate them and given we've studied the bejezus out of the dogs over the last few years it gives me confidence that they can play roles for us. Only had to part with a can of Coke and half a packet of twisties too 👌

    Yeah - squeaky clean at the MFC

    Jackson

    Weideman

    Hunt

    Bedford

    With Tomlinson a mebbe

    Things are peachy

    Weid/Hunt/Bedford not good enough to make the team & not AFL standard players, so vastly different. The only player leaving is a young kid heading home unlike the Dogs who have multiple best 22 players wanting out.

    • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Welcome to Demonland Lachie Hunter

    Beveridge had some problems with him. Hoping it was just a personality clash.

    Always thought he was an upgrade on Mitch Hannan style of player.

    Very composed player and from what I've seen a good decision maker.

    Rendition of FREED FROM DESIRE from Lachie on his socials would be the ultimate troll 

    Free from bevos ire, sung to the tune of free from desire would be better trolling

    Hunt is AFL standard. He played 40 games over past 2 seasons in a side that finished 1st and 2nd after the H&A.

    He’s from WA, they usually get the news a bit later…………….in this case 10 years (drafted F/S in 2012 draft)

    I mean he’s won a B&F and a premiership and played 150 games it’s not like he spends his time as the unused medical sub every week!

    Hunter has been a star of the competition. Best and fairest winner in front of Bont and McCrae.

    Regular 35 + possession winner. Racked up competition high uncontested possessions in 2016 but also notched up 10 tackles a game on occasion. Premiership player. 

    Future third rounder! Good business.

    Always fun going back to the first couple of pages in threads like these just to see your initial reaction. I wasn’t a fan but I am now. Welcome Lachie and all the best with us.
    Can’t wait for the WERRIDEE 2023 team edition.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
