He's played 2 VFL games. We have no idea.

He attended the B&F the other night I believe.

 

[jmoo wan]

if he is not in Arizona he can bugger right off

I think you’re right, might’ve seen it on Instagram or something

Only a total ass wouldn't.

 

[Kong]

Only a total arse wouldn't.

mate take it easy on yourself, you couldn't make it.

 

[eth-dog]

Looks like he'll survive thankfully.

Last man standing and on a rookie list. Do we need to sign him before the ND or are we perhaps waiting to see if a player slips through the ND that we like?

All players must be signed before the draft.

 

[JT_the_Man]

It would be bizarre to cut him.

 

[Yoda_]

Huge upside, showed signs

Keep

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Showed all the signs that Voss did not.

 

[Blind Turn]

Showed all the signs that Voss did not.

Strikes me as being far more natural, effortless footballer than Voss. From my admittedly limited exposure to both of their games to date, Voss seemed all effort and somewhat unnatural. There aren’t too many who combine effortless ability with brutal effort which is what makes Plugger, Ablett Sr, and Jono Brown such rare beasts.

 

[jmoo wan]

this is the best part of off-season! are they gonna cut him? are they gonna cut him??

oh man, the intrigue is crazy!!!

Yep, 100% agree.

he played what one game and then got stress fractures in his back...

Voss has demonstrated one key ability that Hunter is very short in.

Availability.

Has to be signed before October 31st or delisted

What was his availability like through juniors and his time in the WAFL? Granted it's been limited with us but get this right and he might gain that 1 key ability from here on in, plus bring everything else Voss did not.

 

[owen87]

Hunter is a better height than Voss, at Voss' height you need some serious tricks to make it work at AFL level. Add an extra couple of cm and it starts to become easier.

Of the two, Hunter had more upside for being an AFL standard player IMO.

ACL last year


So availability not great

Was a 2020 drafted though, on talent it looks like he was missed due to covid, there will be a few of these that pop up

 

[bombreys]

A touch surprising for mine, given his history.

One more year to try and prove himself you'd think. Will be 22 by the time the season starts.

Says more about Voss perhaps than it does about Hunter...

Yeah i'm available as well but doesn't make me a better choice
