Former #49 Jaiden Hunter

You never know if they never get a go, Martin is a great example of it.
We’ll see if we got it wrong soon enough.

He barely got on the park for a VFL game since being drafted. Played a total of 2 VFL games.
In fact, he’s only played 5 total games at that level or similar since covid.
He’s had 4 WAFL reserves and 3 WAFL pre-season games since covid.

The guy is talented. But talent doesn’t get you very far if you struggle to get on the park.

Rotten luck for the guy, but it is what it is.
Gumby was similar. Zach Reid is on the same path. So is Baldwin.

WAFL don’t have money and a (very limited) list spot tied up in him.

He wasn’t untalented but can you trust his body? IMHO no.

Get him back in.

Imagine a forward line of Hunter Caddy and Gerreyn.
Male physique strong. Big men. Ultimate full-power athletes just going BANG.

Peacocks.

Reanimate the corpse or Gumby’s back too

Thanks, but no thanks. Getting Gerreyn is the reason why we no longer need Hunter. Move on.

I gather he’s kicked 17 goals from 5 games at all levels this year in the WAFL. Maybe we should give him another MSD shot!

We dont need Hunter anymore we have ‘The Messiah’
Never mind the Messiah’s cooked knee - by divine intervention it will heal and the Messiah will rise again…

Wtf!

Only been 2 “real” games this year and he’s kicked 2 & 4 in the seniors.

Kicked another 4 on the weekend

Still only 22 and took 8 marks and had 19 possessions to go with 4 goals, fair game although they smacked a poor opposition. I’m not sure we’d go back to the well but if he kicks another 3 or 4 bags before the mid season draft surely West Coast has a look.

Yeah,you would think so but western teams seem to overlook players

Didn’t we delist him last year so we can’t MSD him? Or has there been a year already?

Well we do have spongy floors…

BRING HIM IN

Yeah I think the rule is if delist can’t SSP over that upcoming preseason but back in the fray to MSD next season

That would be a pretty unlikely turn of events though

Yes his body is standing up to WAFL level training (so far) but it’s the AFL level he wasn’t coping with

I’d love to see it happen and he makes it though

His body wasn’t exactly standing up to WAFL footy that well either
