and whether he can add value or not

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The Jury will be out on Jayden Hunt and whether he can add value or not

The jury is out on about 95% of our players in 2023, tbh.

 

[Bender_]

This just in; we won't know if he'll be any good for us until we know.

 

[Makka]

Both Hunt and JJ running off half back I don't mind at all.

 

[Evo47]

Time to Hunt

 

[bh90210fan]

Welcome aboard Jayden!

I like the pickup as I think he improves the list and that’s something we should be striving for each and every offseason regardless of where we finished on the ladder.

 

[Keys]

Just listened to him on 6PR

Said that he’d played more of a lockdown role at Melbourne this year and discussions with West Coast were centred around him being an attacking half back

Cole back is good cause he will be our main small/mid size lockdwon defender. Good that Hunt can do both roles.

Duggan a few years back was a great lockdown defender but recently has had opponents get a hold of him

 

[twce13]

Was never a big fan.

But now that he has his wings, he's a legit sick campaigner.

Welcome aboard legend.

 

[Sammy J]

This is also about depth. Our list was very thin at the back end of our 22. Hunt may not be a star, but he’s plug and play and can play a role. Welcome aboard you sick (k)Hunt.

Sportsday WA - Jayden Hunt

Brand new West Coast Eagle joins Sportsday following his move from the Melbourne Demons.

[JADED]

Some phantoms had him in the top 10 free agents, so this is a good F.A pick up.
Free is good.

Dumbness aside, we're slow and just had our best tackler retire so you can't complain at a free agent with that skill set.
Had a pretty ordinary year though, so he'll fit right in.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Both Hunt and JJ running off half back I don't mind at all.

Both kicking to grass, amirite?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good content. Always good to pick up guys who are talented in other areas.

 

[squashface]

Hopefully this means the JJ defender experiment is over and he can head back forward to replace Rioli.

Who do I have to beat over the head with a stick to get another season of this show?

mods pretty please don't dump thread me

It was on 9 so maybe try McGuire?

 

[Flarn Rarn]

Don't care for the age argument tbh. The average career is 3 or 4 years which he has in him at least so for the price I think we've done well.

Simmo knows we need run and carry off the backline and through the middle but we can't wait until we have the cattle to start finetuning a new gameplan. Hunt gives us that opportunity to experiment next year and find out what works for us. If we end up with a jet young half back in the next few years we will have got a headstart on how to utilise them.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Hope I'm not going early here, but I can't see him being a worse player than Judd.

 

[TOA.]

Welcome board Jayden

Good get for free

Also comforts me to think our coaches and recruiters were aware we lacked pace and dare - as it far from looked like we gave a about that during the season

 

[matt_bas]

I've noticed pick 53 has gone. Is that because we don't have a spot now, so that will come back if we delist someone?

 

[Tugga27]

I don't think we ever had pick 53.
Are you getting confused with Melbourne getting a compensation pick for Hunt or am I missing something?
