Outlook

Missed the 2011 finals after being dropped late in the season, then rebounded to establish himself in the team by playing 21 games in 2012. Having started his career as a defender, Hunt has taken over Cameron Ling’s old mantle as the team’s No. 1 tagger. Went head-to-head with some of the competition’s best on-ballers last season and also pushed forward on a few occasions, proving dangerous in front of goal.
