I'm a fan of SJ, would love to get him.
Well saidGot a young half at the club with nearly 70 first grade games to his credit, has got genuine vision and a sneaky short kicking game (albeit a bit rusty for lack of opportunity), solid defense and as we speak is being scouted by a few clubs who rate him in a similar vain to those promising young halves being talked up in this thread. Something shiny and new is not always better, Thurston didn't start to crack it at the dogs until he was around Hunts age. Scouted by the great man, Hunt was the prodigy long before Norman but has not been afforded the same opportunity in the halves. Probably because he looks like a footy player and not a track athlete. Early out of 20's he had his issues with confidence and being very passive and problems with his defense. He is now imo ready and the fact he is still at the club, happy to play out of position and off the bench and without sulking or giving the coach ultimatums demonstrates a maturity and character that already fits in with the clubs culture.
