Is dead, but could maybe be zombified before the draft and selected?
Thoughts?
He was very good for the Gorillas.

His fitness is on a par with Lance Whitnall, so perhaps.

The find of 2008.
One for the pre-season draft I feel.

Has he played on Adam Cooney?
My favorite Hayden Bunton Jr story:
As a player, his ability to win possession of the ball under duress was unequalled; in one match against South Fremantle during the 1962 season statisticians credited him with no fewer than 88 kicks, 55 of them in the first half. His handball statistics were not recorded, but given that Bunton was renowned at the time as one of the most prolific practitioners of that particular art, it is hard not to imagine his having exceeded 100 total possessions for the match, an incredible, and quite possibly unsurpassed, achievement.
----
The actual version of the story I heard was that they ran out of paper in the last quarter, so they lost count on his exact number of kicks, and was probably over 100 kicks alone.

BTW, Hayden Bunton Jr isn't dead I don't think.
You may be thinking of his father, Haydn Bunton Sr. 3 Brownlows, AFL Team of the Century, statue at the MCG etc.

He's not dead?
And we're yet to sign him?
This is bullshit.
The club should immediately zombify his father, give him five years, and then secure his not dead son through father son.
Lift your game Harrington.
