#29 Jayden Hunt - joins WCE as a free agent, pick 52 compo

[Bluelegs]

Just realised how much better watching the game would be if there was option to sync the game audio to Super Mario Bros.

 

[Sellout Scully]

I thought he was really good tonight. Played a role and did it well. Has pace, took the right option, runs back hard, quite fit and absolutely flew from nowhere in the first quarter to get an excellent spoil in for a rushed behind.

 

[Tulip]

First player I've seen handball out of a kick-in.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Strong observation is strong.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Going to be a gun, is exactly what we've needed in a flanker.

 

[Sellout Scully]

Massive credit too for the club to:

A: identify a player with real potential based off only High-School footy and have the courage to draft him
B: sticking by him despite injuries and initially struggling to adapt to VFL, when many probably would have delisted him
C: utilize him in such a role that he can grow and exceed at

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Didn't even play in the senior team in school until year 12.

 

[Captain Jack]

This kid hs incredible pace! Exciting times.

Run, Jayden, run!

 

[RandB]

He seems to be one step ahead in how he wants to move in congestion and has a good work ethic along with dash. Not a bad kick either.

 

[Sando22]

I reckon he's a ripper.
Looks at home, not fazed.
Just please don't ever handball from a kick-in again.

It's one of those things I didn't even realize was a rule because I've never thought of it happening before..

 

[Proper Gander]

Me neither. Never thought about it. We should probably thank Jayden for bringing this one to our attention.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

There was a piece of play in the second quarter where he got the ball close to the boundary line, and was surrounded by Richmond players. He effortlessly went around his opponents and burst into space, and then sent a good kick 50m down the line. It reminded me a bit of a young Travis Johnstone.

 

[stabler]

Definitely has unique attributes that make him unpredictable and an asset to our team.

We have such a good mix of players now it's awesome. Didn't know he had that mongrel in him either after seeing him barrell into that melee to defend his mate Salem.

 

[Ablett2Garland]

Andrew Obst

 

[Dory_77]

I've been impressed. He's tough at the contest which is a big plus. His pace and skills are generally good too. Will save the predictions of future B&Fs and AAs for now, but he looks like he could become a solid part of the side.

 

[Sando22]

It's one of those things I didn't even realize was a rule because I've never thought of it happening before..

Yeah true, you learn something everyday.
Thanks Junt

 

[schmuttt]

He has actually shown a lot of composure (Excluding that bizarre handball) and is one of our few genuinely quick players. At worst right now he will be handy depth.

 

[Klyntonius]

It's one of those things I didn't even realize was a rule because I've never thought of it happening before..

So I've only just worked out what people are talking about now! I missed what happened at the ground and haven't seen a replay so have assumed Tom McDonald had overstepped...

 

[harry000]

Some interesting stats from his first 2 games:

Ranked 2nd among rising stars in Inside 50s Per Game
Ranked 1st among rising stars in Clangers Per Game (least amount)
Ranked 6th among rising stars in Rebound 50s Per Game
Ranked 7th among rising stars in One Percenters Per Game

Can be really damaging if he has the ability to get both rebound 50s and inside 50s

 

[demonsize]

This kid has something about him, watching him on Sunday night for the first time reminded me of an Andrew Obst but with more pace, and a better kick.
He could turn out to be a real gem- something is brewing here with our list- exciting times perhaps.

Wore #29 too

 

[tenderwarrior]

I hope he stays in this week, but plenty of players in form at Casey. Would love to see Hunt and Stretch earn a wing spot each.

But kick-in? Like throw ins in football, I feel there are certain bread crumbs in the name...
