News Josh Hunt to Retire

[Partridge]

A very good player for the club for a long time and goes outwith nothing but respect from me. Had he been fit in 2009, he would have cracked 200 games for the club and probably would have been one of the triple premiership players (interesting to speculate on what the 2009 grand final team would have been, if Hunt was available). He was able to keep Darren Milburn out of the side for the 2011 finals and I thought he was outstanding in that QF against Hawthorn (seven inside 50s!).

Kicked a good goal at an important time in the 2nd quarter too.

I think Josh Hunt's 2011 GF effort is a bit underrated, his first half was very good when the heat was really on; he won some nice contests at ground level and found a target (usually by hand).

Best of luck to him in retirement.

Solid defender.

Could become the most famous premiership player in a few years.

I dont think that kick has been retired yet.

 

[David the Cat]

A fine contributor to the Geelong dynasty and two Premiership medals to show for it. A very intelligent man, who got the best out of himself.

All the best for the future Josh.

5 times winner of the Wes Fellowes medal. Fair effort that

Josh Hunt was always one of my faves. I loved that penetrating left boot he had as it was lethal at times. I loved how he'd throw his hulking frame around by smashing into opponents with hip 'n shoulders. One of my favourite memories of Josh was when he ran riot one day against the Bulldogs. He absolutely polaxed Jarrad Grant and then half an our later, followed up by cleaning up Gia. Both were totally legal and totally awesome.

Alright then, I'll ask for you, Fred. krisholio14, what is a 'Wes Fellowes' medal?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Something to do with the fact that not many rated him?

Good on ya Fred. If you'd just swallowed your pride and asked way back, hours ago, we'd all know by now. Instead, because you didn't want to ask, it's now almost 5 hours later and we're still none the wiser!!

I'm just as wise, more or less, as I was back then, but no better informed.

It's just a saying, Fred...

The Wes Fellows medal is the award I give out each year to the player that best typifies the old adage 'Built like Tarzan, plays like Jane'.

Other previous winners include the likes of Craig Ellis, David Hille and Des Ryan

Well there you go......Ling just announced that Joshy and his big left boot will head to the US to try his luck in the NFL

Can anyone find pictures or video of Hunt picking up Cale Morton when he tried to tackle him? That was one of the funniest things I've seen on a footy field.

Yes it was hilarious, he hoisted him like he was carrying a wounded solider in a movie.

Yep. Good luck to him. I always thought he had punter potential. It's a shame he's going to have to wait until next season to get picked up as the current NFL season is just starting. Hope my Minnesota Vikings give him a chance.

He should do well… very well..

And the Broncos would be a great fit

Go Catters

Just one important question - boy or girl in the pram?

 

[cats2rise]

What about going to the NFL as per the above posts?

Nice to see Matt Sully in there, a former VFL player that missed a lot of footy this year cause of injury
