RFA end of '22
Solid running half back flanker
Surely he would attract some interest. Perfect player for Port RN

Frost was always very good defensively though. What is Hunt's 1 wood? Running fast? Not tall, not strong, not a good defender, not good overhead, poor kick, poor decision making.I think he'll always have an AFL future because there's only about 5-10 guys in the AFL with his pace. But I agree with his errors. But people said the same thing about Frost but Frost has been great for Hawthorn since moving there and finished quite high in their BnF.
I doubt Melbourne would fight hard to keep Hunt. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him dropped this week in favour of Joel Smith.
Yes Hunt is fast, and has improved his defending. But he is a bit like a shorter Sam Frost in that he is prone to making too many howler errors for a guy with 100 games experience. If he hasn’t got that out of his game by now I doubt he will.
I think his most effective AFL position is as a third or fourth forward which is the role he played in 2019 where he kicked 21.10 and had 18 goal assists in 21 games.
Very good on the lead, a long and straight kick, and his pace can generate some easy over-the-back goals.

He's an average defender and his pressure acts are rated below average. Doesn't intercept, doesn't win his won ball, doesn't use it, below average score involvements, below average rebound 50s. The guy is just no good. And all that while palying in the team with the best defensive structure. Will get found out massively in a poor team.He's a good defender, pressure player.

Adequate, average - Same thing isn't it?He is an adequate defender in the sense of stopping an opponent, not great, not terrible.
Every Melbourne supporter here has said he’s fast but makes poor decisions and butchers it. Why on earth would you want a player like that getting heaps of the ball - hence his poor stats with ball in hand?
Nobody thinks he’s a great player and I doubt any opposition club targets him as a free agent.
You must be a car salesmanHe's a good defender, pressure player.
No, I just open my eyes.You must be a car salesman
Played the first 20 games last year, lost his spot to Bowey because of injury and then couldn't unseat him.You wouldn't. That's why he's probably only playing because you have injuries in your back half and was a regular when you were s**t.
And then was usurped and made to look redundant by a debutant. If another club took him an we got a pick in the 40s I think we'd be laughingHis output is fine, he plays his role and has unique attributes which makes him a useful player at AFL level.
He'll never be a star and I doubt another club will pay overs for him. He held his spot for 21 games in a row before injury in a team that finished top of the table. He could play a role at most clubs.
Melbourne wouldn't be able to afford to pay him if anyone else wanted him. Better player than he's given credit for but not best 22 at us.
What about when Hibberd and Salem are fit?20 games last year and played every game so far this season.
Gets on the park a lot notwithstanding you don't think he is best 22.
Salem is best 22 without question but would push Brayshaw back onto the wing which would push a mid out like Jordon, Harmes or Sparrow.What about when Hibberd and Salem are fit?
Bowey is a moral now every week I love watching him as an opposition fan he is so composed for a 13 game player and his kicking is eliteSalem is best 22 without question but would push Brayshaw back onto the wing which would push a mid out like Jordon, Harmes or Sparrow.
Three of Hunt, Hibberd, Rivers and Bowey would be in based on matchups and form.
Hibberd is almost certainly done after this season though and he’s already missed a couple of months with a calf which isn’t a good sign for an old player.
Bowey has been great, but as a 13 game player I’m not confident he won’t lose form at some time.Bowey is a moral now every week I love watching him as an opposition fan he is so composed for a 13 game player and his kicking is elite
