All the best for Jayden. Careers don't last long so make the most you can.

Dees obviously have plans for half back and a wish to bring new players etc.

Pick 52 is a bit skimpy but we may be able to put it to good use.

    • Demonland changed the title to Farewell Jayden Hunt
     

    Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb thanked Hunt for his commitment and contribution to the Demons.

    "Jayden has been an excellent contributor to our club over a sustained period," Lamb said.

    "He played an important role for us at half-back over the last couple of years and was unlucky to miss out on 2021 premiership having suffered an ankle injury in round 21 of that year.

    "We are rapt for him that he has the opportunity to continue his career at West Coast and we wish him all the best in the next chapter."

    Well we drafted JH at pick 57 in the 2013 and T-Mac was acquired at pick 53 so you never know.  Harmes was a rookie

    At a guess we might bundle the pick looking to get into a better position for our 3rd or 4th pick in the draft

    “We are rapt for him that he has the opportunity to continue his career at West Coast”.
    🤮🤮🤮🤮that’s usually said when a player has been perennially injured and likely to be delisted 

    compo is 3rd round likely pick 52-54 🤮🤮🤮🤮. A player who played 42 out of a possible 46 games across two years for a team that finished premiers and 2nd across the two years. He’s a push/giveaway effectively for very little in return .

    or he can keep his source to himself and keep providing information.  He has some form from the past and gets some inside info. if you don't want to read it either ignore him or block him but others like me want to hear it

    Thanks for the sage advice, I'll take that onboard however I will remain cynical when people make statements and then won't back them up. I posted that Hunt wasn't happy and that's because that's what he told Mrs Dw at the B&F. She should have asked him if he knocked back a 2 yr deal several weeks ago and then we might or might not have some clarity. By the by I'm not asking him not to post information but if it's from a report in the Media I think it's far enough that that is stated. If it's a confidential source he could always state that instead of being ........ defensive.

    How many years did he get? How we know the comp but not the contract?

    Knowing it was definitely gonna happen doesn’t make this any easier. Especially when one stupidly harboured a faint hope right until the end that he somehow might stay. 
    Of course just like everyone else I sincerely wish him well, but that’s one game I know I won’t be attending next season, ie. the first time he plays against us. 😔

    Very disappointed. I loved watching Hunt play. Yes, his kicking at full pace was full of errors. This is not unusual across the footy world, it is just that Jayden played at full pace so often so therefore - more clangers. I wish him all the best but am genuinely sad to see him in another jumper.

    Jayden Hunt is a great lad. Never shirked. Had a great 2021 and was very unfortunate to get injured a month out from finals. Deserved a premiership medallion (I don't like the convention that only those who play on the day get a medallion. He was a major contributor across the season and deserved a medal imv)

    I hate the Eagles but I wish you well Jayden. All the best

    Beautifully said Maldon.  My thoughts exactly.  Maybe not the silk / finish we would have hoped for but still one of my favs to watch.

    A big thank you to Hunty for everything he gave in the red & blue.  Including playing in the bulk of matches during 2021, most.of them wins, that helped us grab the ultimate prize.  Will never forget.

    Going to miss the initial bursts out of traffic, the chase down tackles, breaking lines and ...the headband!

    Good luck son and all the best with everything from here.

    100% BDA. Alongside chunk & to some degree Tomo, he was certainly one that would feel very unlucky to have missed out.

    I feel a bit sad about this but I think we have a few players who can replace him.

    But did we not offer him a contract or did he choose to go for better opportunities?

    Especially a western ‘burbs ranga! 

    You can put the farm on it (livestock and chattels included).

    I’ll even book an ambo for Luci before we start brawling. It’s the least I can do.

    I think Jayden is someone we all universally want to see do well. I hope he’s leaving with no hard feelings and I certainly would love nothing more than to see him do really well at West Coast (although I despise that club).

    I feel for Jayden. He’s been on the edge of our team for the best part of 5 years. That’s a hard place to be. Over the last couple of years when he made mistakes you could see him beating himself up about it.

    I hope he can play with the freedom that makes him so great to watch when he’s up and about.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
