Thought he looked fit and strong and determined today.
Best he has looked for a while, and the fittest he has looked since being drafted

Yeah I really liked his game. Was brilliant in the first 1/4 and seemed a lot more in and out after that. 59% doesn’t surprise me… pbly still building up his fitness base.

Looks set for a big year

I’ve never had any doubt at any time that he is the real deal. Ripper

Welcome back Hunter. Terrific at the centre bounces, as was Jack Bytel. Ross & Co may have blindsided the Dockers with this combo, especially in the first half when we were towelling them up for clearances.

Always determined, it's what gets you a busted jaw and concussion but apparently it's about physique for some. He's a ripper, so happy he's in the RW&B.

The boy can certainly play. Good on him.

Hope Jack gets an extended run too.

You may need to elaborate on "Jack".

Great first half, quiet after that. When he is on he is great in traffic, just always seems to get the ball out and moving.

Hunter is great when he is hunting the ball excuse the pun ..but his strength is on ball and trying to win it.

Interesting game… was going to start a thread but I’ve pbly posted enough for one night.

15 touches, 7 tackles 1 goal.

Thought his mark and goal was brilliant but was a bit concerned to see him get burned off at one point. Was quiet from about 1/2 through the second and late into the third… was sitting on 8-9 touches and started racking them up quickly after that.

Am trying to figure out his best position. I wonder if he could be a defensive forward pushing into the middle. He doesn’t seems to have the endurance or strength at this point to be a mini Crouch type like I’ve hoped for.

Still… def want to see him hold his spot and continue to develop

Clark adds difference to our midfield
Great game
Really hoping Bytel can lift the poss numbers he looks good when he has it

Hunter is a rare gem that can dispose of the ball using either side of the body. It amazes me that most AFL players are so one sided. What did they learn as a junior?
Hunter used both sides last night, excellent.

Fair game considering he hasn’t played that much over the last two years and something to build on.
