Jayden Hunt set to play his first finals.

Missed out in 2018

Missed out in 2021

Now set to play his first finals. Bit of the heart break story last year after playing every game and then doing an injury.

Bar any injury from here on I'm incredibly happy for Hunty!

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Yup. Love his work of late. 

[Superunknown 4,217]

Cannot drop him after tonight

[layzie 33,796]

Killed it tonight. Intent and attack on the ball was terrorising.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

So happy for him. Well deserved. 

[Lou C. Fur 1,009]

Cannot wait to see Hunt playing finals footy for the Dees!

[Lord Travis 10,729]

Deserves it. Never should’ve been dropped this year and proven to be an important part of our defensive unit. I’ve been vocal about him being in the team and so glad he got his chance and he’s taking his opportunity. We play better with him there to take smalls and provide rebound. Onya Hunty!

And he is playing well. Really happy for him. 

[Ollie fan 3,370]

I love his dare. It lifts the whole team (and the supporters!)

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

Plating like a completely different player since he's come back into the side.

Really providing good drive.

[dl4e 5,851]

Fantastic stuff. I am sure he would be in the top half dozen players at the club in terms of longevity.

[Mickey 4,684]

His skills have improved significantly. Gives us a really different look off half back. Loving it

[adonski 12,109]

Hope we give him a 2 year deal

Has flaws but bigger weapons

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Melbourne supporters at the G really make some noise when Hunt gets the ball and just runs. Can’t wait to hear it during finals there (hopefully)

[BDA 22,751]

What about that torp? almost nailed it

Outstanding tonight. Super sharp and clean. His run and carry is a game changer for us and adds another dimension to our attacking play.

Totally agree. I've been a fan for a long time and wouldn't have dropped him earlier this year, even though he made some critical  mistakes. I just love his run and dare, and he is as tough as any on our list. I have always thought he is made for finals footy and he gets his chance at last. .

Rapt for Hunt if he plays finals, but Salem needs to replace a defender tonight.

Tell me about it, this guy was made for a finals game.

He played well tonight and his drive in last few minutes won us games against Blues!

He is definitely in!

[DemonWA 3,934]

Hunt was great. Great op too

Never thought I'd see the day but we didn't miss Salem. River played a blinder too

Spot on and he was instrumental in the last quarter against Carlton.

However, Salem will be back. Will he replace Bowey or Hunt?

Goody knows what he’ll get from Bowey in a finals series.

Having said all that, I assume Bowey will be dropped for Salem.
