Karmichael Hunt

[Lance Uppercut]

Definitely, they don't call Prestia the Human Meatball for nothing! He's a little unit. Just came off second best and got flattened by K. Jumped back onto his feet though, so no harm done.

I don't think I've ever seen you so taken with a player before, Lance!

haha no I have quite a few man crushes outside of Essendon. Sloane, Fyfe and Harper amongst others are all my boys for example

As much as that goal hurt, I really admire they way he goes about it. I hope he has a good year and continues to prove he doubters wrong.

Always felt he'd be better than izzy too due to being able to play midfield.

Apparently he absolutely destroyed Prestia today in the match simulation with a fairly heavy bump. I was worried that with the loss of weight, he would lose some of the power. Seems that's not the case.

Was in an article he is benching PB's despite dropping weight.

Izzy never had the work rate to play AR at the highest level, hell he was cramping in RL.

agreed. dont think his size and position he played would have helped at all. KPF/ruck

 

[Superstar swan]

Love watching him play, it's a credit to him at how well he was playing last year. I hope he can continue improving. I know it might be a stretch and highly unlikely but could u imagin karmic heal hunt the all Australian

 

[Gough]

Amazing athlete, played top level Rugby League, Rugby Union and Australian Rules inside a year or so. With the rotation policy in the cricket being what it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing in a couple of ODI's against the West Indies.

karmichael used to cramp bad playing for the broncos..
look at his first game, got through half of it playing full forward
izzy didnt want to put the hard work down and stick at it.
he just wanted to put his hand out and take his check!
hunt is one of my favourite players. love how he goes about it.
i think his legs arent that big, there are a few other in the league with big legs

Yeah he has slimmed down a lot more for running, your right his legs aren't as big as when he first entered the AFL and are now in line with some other big AFL players legs.

Hope he has a great year shows what hard work and perseverance can do, would like to see him iron out some people in the centre bounces too (just not pies players lmao).

 

[supernova_]

definitely one of the greatest atheletes in australian sports. Has the sports mentality of an absolute champion, and the way he holds himself, and speaks you can tell takes nothing for granted. Super humble and all the good stuff you want in a sports person.

Yet he took a massive pay cut going to Rugby Union.

Yet he took a massive pay cut going to Rugby Union.

Only for 12 months though.

Wasn't he all set to make almost as much as in the AFL but they couldn't get the paperwork sorted or something?

Could be. I don't know the fine detail. Maybe someone else can enlighten us?

he is only on a year contract..
eels were set to offer him 400k for the year but he wanted more. eels went to the nrl and asked if they could breach the salary to sign him fearing they could lose him to union which they ended up doing.
you always make more in union compared to league, having your general super 15 contract and then if you make the wallabies having a contract with the aru..
not to mention the millions of dollars he could make overseas if he chooses to. japan and france to name a few.
im telling you now he went for the money, look at sonny bill he will make 2 mill this year with his contract with the allblacks, his stint for panasonic, his yr contract with the roosters and then his boxing on top of that plus endorsements..
he and izzy have the same manager obviously led him down the same money hungry path after he left nrl

 

[mysainters]

Really admire this guy.

His work ethic is a credit to him, his drive to make this move to the AFL work....even more so.
