Oh jeez now we have to specify which Hunter we're talking about.

Congrats! There's that ruck depth we needed.

 

[Joffaboy]

Right place, right time. Congrats

Nah, his namesake is Tab Hunter.
Star of B Grade Westerns from the 50’s.

Great decision given that Marshall is going to be missing for a long period . Should at least give Ryder some support.

The way to win a spot on St Kilda's list. Beat Sam Alabaskis at ruck.

Anyways... Good luck to the bloke. Hope he does well.

This preview of the South Adelaide - Glenelg game reads pretty good. That's just about on a par with Ryan Abbot's career stats.

 

[SaintBenny]

Here's a video of the bloke, from a few years ago now... Looks like good coverage.

 

[saintbatty]

Very good grab overhead

 

[PostmanBish]

Very good grab overhead

Good hands and knows where the big sticks are ... if he can halve some contests while Paddy rests forward, he might be very useful while RoMa is out.

 

[sammm]

is he the lumbering type ie longer with no kicks and only 7 handballs ? or the Ryder type ?

Probably neither. Can't get much of an idea from the highlights but he's competitive, can take a grab and can kick goals.

The training watchers are happy which is a tick, and making the SANFL means he's no slouch.

I never knew our list had spots open for 24 million people.

clone to me...

Hopefully another astute pick up by Gags (maybe influenced by Chris Toce's time in SA last year)

Cain Ackland clone if you ask me or GT for that matter..

If we can sell him to Carlton for a 2nd rounder & add an albatross of a contract around their neck again it'll be worth it.

No offense, but I reckon 23 million of us would really struggle to make contact with the ball against big Sal ... some of us would definitely be better around the ground though (not this black duck, however)

Given ruckmen take much longer to develop, the good thing about drafting mature age rucks is that there a real possibility that they will be much better than previously expected.

I think at 28yo you're gonna get what you see.
It took an extra 3/4/5 years for him to find a spot on a list again and has passed the threshold to become proper AFL quality.
Good to very good state league, and adequate backup.
I hope he's a premiership Zebs ruckman.
