NEWS: Hunt has recently openly admitted he has been using the Geelong Cats and in particular, James Kelly as inspiration as he attempts to successfully transition from defence to the midfield. Hunt is a perfectionist and is very driven recently discussing that "sometimes I'll miss a kick at training when I expect to hit it and that will bug me so I'll pull 'Harty' (reserves coach Shaun Hart) or a couple of the boys aside after training and practise those kicks again." | ||||

NEWS: Hunt's pre-season form is looking more like an AFL player than ever before. But in fantasy land, he still finished with an awful line of 11 Dream team points over 2 matches in the opening round of the NAB Cup. A well priced player, playing through the midfield and guaranteed a spot in the Best 22. It sounds good in theory, but he needs to actually get the ball. To be fair when he did get the ball, he looked terrific. Good decisions and polished skills. Cash Cow Potential: In Best 22 and playing in midfield, but still quite an expensive proposition and we worry he is not as explosive as his report card suggests. | This is a 2012 outlook article. | |||

| ||||
NEWS: It's a very complex salary agreement, which is funded in part by the AFL, with Hunt being an ambassador for the league, as a former Rugby superstar. What will be interesting is what Hunt is going to produce, if he in fact does play in the midfield this year. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: You would think the 13 man game would be interested in the former champion of the game, but he has indicated he plans to stay on with the Suns after this season. They still have not put pen to paper, however, he believes they are not to far away. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: He has lost a lot of weight and has been impressing coaches in match practice sessions. This is a real chance to happen. | ||||
