I'm not understanding this Hunter stuff.

Why would we set up a rival to win a flag? Future second seems unders to me considering his status and age demograph.

I understand stuff may have happened internally but it would want to be significant to consider trading him out. Can we not gut our midfield in one trade period?

It would make more sense to me that we're attempting to send a message to him.

We were willing to pay his contract out if we couldn't get a trade mate.. Take what we can get and run

We have form of turfing players

I don't believe you.

We should have got rid of him in 2020

 

[Foxman98]

Goal this off-season was to get tall defenders/utilities.
End result is looking like
-lose Cordy
-lose Schache
-miss Lobb
-gain 32 year old Jones.

Good work.

Goal was to get KPD + KPF we have plenty of "Utilities"

lose 2 players that are tall but neither

Get KPD and about to get KPF what are you on about?

Again... turfing players works out pretty well for us .. strengthening rivals and weakening ourselves.

This. ^^^^ 100%

What exactly are we bringing in?

As opposed to having someone so detrimental to the clubs culture? LOL you actually have no idea..

What truth? We are in the dark. At this juncture you're just noise on a football forum.

Not alot really... a 32 year old and maybe a 30 year old

Roarke Smith of all people has overtaken Hunter. His $600k+ per year is better spent elsewhere when he's not even good enough to make our 22, AND is causing unrest within the club. Great result for us if we get the future 2nd

What part don't you understand that we wanted him gone so badly we were willing to pay out his contract if a trade wasn't facilitated?

Jeez Stringer and Dahlhaus really came back to bite us didn't they

It’s an amazing result and anyone who says otherwise has their head several years ago

Nah mate.

Too much has happened off field for us to keep him.

We are better off without Hunter. Future second of a team that won’t have a contested marking forward, in the era of transition football, where the player we send them will slow down their ball movement.

I am very happy with that.

Good work.

Talk before start of trade period is that the club recognised we lacked KPD talent & depth. Rumours of Barrass & then Collins got everyone excited.

We needed 2 KPD’s, losing Cordy but gaining Jones left us in the same spot. Now losing Schache is another player that “could” have played that role in an emergency.

I really don’t want to have to play Naughton in defence, but F*CK! Can just see him being annoyed as he wants to be a forward me will soon request a trade home lol

 

[hutchy31]

I'll be a bit sad to see Hunter go, but I can't also complain about how brutally bad his kicking is (particularly inside 50) and still lament us losing him to Melbourne. If it happens then best of luck to him, but their forward entries aren't getting any better if a handful of them are coming from his boot every game.

Haha. This "unrest within the club" is pure speculation.

Also, the "we will have so much cap to spend" .. no good if you never land the targets to spend it

 

[Zgope1]

I’ll always love Hunter. Very sad things have disintegrated. Will always be a champion of the club in my eyes.

I’ll never forget his handball to Picken in the 2016 GF

Lobb's contract is covered by Hunter departing, with change. Our team is better next year with Lobb in the squad and Hunter out. What's the issue?

 

[Mofra]

Starting a petition to shoot anyone actually suggesting Bruce plays in defence ever again, his manager included.

*. No.

He wasn’t that good as a defender when he has played there and he kicked 50+ goals prior to his ACL.

Team is better gutting the midfield and not addressing lack of defensive depth. Ok
