List Mgmt. Welcome Jayden Hunt (Unrestricted Free Agent)

[06Premiers]

Wow just did a bit of reading, I had that wrong I thought he’d played WAFL in WA before getting drafted to North, my bad.

You're thinking of Ross Glendinning.

You're thinking of Ross Glendinning.

I’d like to blame it on intel, but because I’m over 50 now, I’m blaming it on being a silly old campaigner.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Easy to confuse Petrie with a WA lad, he was our second 300gamer for the club

 

[flamingEMBERS]

My God ….. wtf is Tommy Cole thinking with those sunglasses [emoji876]

Sunnies are fire, it’s his shorts I’m worried about

 

[ToastieBoy18]

Hunt seems a ripping fella and will fit in to the new game style perfectly. Has been in Melbourne's best 22 for 90% of the last 2 seasons and will add much needed pace and flare off half back for us.

All the best JH

Confused with Dani Laidley maybe?

 

[Keys]

Speaks well

Glad to hear there’s a focus on speed out of the backline

Last 2 minutes are questions about Winder, with one journalist especially pushing the issue and wanting to make a big deal out of it. Ridiculous since he’s been at the club for about 5 minutes and clearly won’t have any say in how it’s handled but I thought he answered the questions well

At training today he looks like he’s settled in well and signs are encouraging that he’ll be a good fit

Must be a freo fan. Honestly i’ve had a few freo fans taking a crack/asking about or culture lately

I've been reliably informed the female journo (The West) who pots our club in regards to our AFLW side is an Eagles fan. If she was the one firing questions at Hunt then again I'm a bit

Eliza Reilly?

Is she Reilly an Eagles fans?

Eliza Reilly?

Yup. Didn't want to have a crack at her name in case I got it wrong

"I'm going to ask the guy who's just stepped off the plane about the inner workings of his new club, leadership group and the way they handle player punishments."

Is there an industy with a lower standard of entry then journalism nowadays? Seems any idiot is able to get a gig and ask inane, dead shit questions like the above.


How these clowns continue to be employed is one of the worlds great mysteries.

 

[Obeanie1]

Good first interview. Said all the right things.

And yes that journo desperately fishing for something negative to print about Winder and Eagles culture. Keep trying you light weight.

No-one asked how much better off is he getting paid to move West than what he was offered elsewhere!

Nah, that was too obvious a question to ask.

That’s because with the advent of the internet and clicks equaling more advertising revenue, it’s no longer about journalistic integrity, it’s just about generating clicks and sensationalistic rubbish works best at that.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Just wanted to share my love for this bloke.

Immediately came into our (admittedly broken) system and became one of our most consistent players. Clean, runs his guts out, uses the ball well and never gives in. Sets a very high standard for the developing players, which is more than can be said for many of the senior players of the last few years.

It would have been easy to come over lacking motivation, especially given the results we'd suffered, but not once has he entered the field of play giving the club anything less than his best.

And, to his credit, I feel he's found his niche and career best form with us as well. He's well and truly gone from a handy role player to a vitally important one here.

Well done Jayden, you're much loved and appreciated here.

 

[kranky al]

Guy is a hard nosed, hard ball getting, speed demon.

Love him

2024 highlights

 

[CursoryMercenary]

He was really good in 2023 but took a big step backward this season. Hopefully a new coach can rejuvenate him.

He’s better value to us off half back than on the wing and I think he was played back more often later in the year. He played better as a result imo

Don’t think it helped that he had some sort of toe/foot injury that he was playing through before the bye that impacted his speed

For whatever reason he gets lost in the midfield but his run off half back breaks the lines. If the likes of Harvey Johnston come on next year he’ll be fighting for a spot in the backline with Cole

And that's why we signed him. He provided something we lacked and the expectation was that youngsters would develop in that role by the time his contract ends.
