Missed my votes today but yes I thought he was excellent. One of our hardest working players out there today.
Re: High praise for Hunter
We look a much better team with him in the side. So much more composed going between the arches.
Got to keep reminding myself it was Adelaide. Hope it was the shot of confidence that need to bring that to next week as well

After the game he said he was letting everyone know how much the club means to him.
Stick that up your jumper Media
Players don't do what Lachie did unless they're 100% on board.
They don't gut-run the way Lachie does either.

Yeah that's true. But I feel we pushed Luke out a bit more than him wanting to leave us.

I really don't think there was a lot more we could have done for Luke as his form had diminished since the flag.
He just got a better off and left us

Yeah I think the writing was on the wall for him with us. He was being pushed out by some others like Dunks. His limitations meant he probably wouldn't have gotten a regular game for us and for the money he wanted it wasn't worth keeping him. I mean where would he fit in our side right now? Perhaps a pressure forward? But his kicking for goal is horrendous. Other than that he's midfield backup in the case someone goes down. Not something we want for someone who would have been on fairly decent coin.

Why would he say he did it because of his feelings for the club?

We gave him a 3 year offer and Geelong gave him 4 and alot more money.

It's as simple as that. His form had been average with us and he was one of a number of distracted players we had after the flag
Geelong saw more value in him than we did. He chose the better financial offer as is his right.

Yes agree 100%. But I take that more as us not giving him what he wanted (and rightfully so) and subsequently he left for a better offer (and rightfully so again) rather than him just wanting to leave the club like was rumoured to be the case with Hunter.

The rumour was just that.
Interesting to listening to Bevo on SEN and his relationship with Hunter. See the podcast thread.

I think I may not have quite gotten across that my comment on Dahlhaus was pretty light hearted.
Was merely saying that Dahlhaus used to beat his chest and grab his jumper whenever he kicked a goal for us, and then as soon as he got to Geelong started doing the same thing.
