Lachlan Hunter?

Re: Lachlan Hunter?

Good game again by Hunter on Saturday. His team got thrashed by over 100 points but he still managed to kick 3 goals. Some of his handballs are Libba like.
He's working hard both ways and he looks much more fitter compared to last year. Of late he's been a bit clumsy giving away a number of free kicks, needs to cut that out of his game. His endeavour and attack on the ball can't be questioned though.

Does he have any pace?

Well he's not slow but he probably has as much as Clay Smith for instance.
His Agility is pretty good.

If he is like Clay and has good disposal he is going to be very good for us

Yes just what we need, more 1 pace midfielders with suspect disposal skills.

So which is it? Can anyone shed light on this?

Re: Lachlan Hunter?

I wrote something about him last year. His kicking from what I have seen can be very poor and he isn't a speedster but he does however, have a real go at it. He doesn't lack endeavor though. I think he would be a solid addition to the side but I wouldn't pay a high price for him. In my opinion it's unlikely that he will be a great footballer but he could be a more than decent player.

From what I've seen so far, he's been slightly above average with his kicking which is a big improvement compared to last year. It still needs more work but at least it's on the improve.
He's not exactly the same kind of player as Smith but he's the same type if that makes sense.
Hunter I think is better on the outside and smarter but I would still classify him as an inside mid given how good in close he is.
I wouldn't be using our 1st round pick/s on him.

Thanks guys, I haven't seen him in action.

Apart from father Mark, his mother is the sister of the McVeigh brothers at Essendon and the Sydney Swans, so he has got a good football heritage.

Mother/sisters/Sons would have been good

Great genes

If we decide to draft him.....

Hopefully at the draft we are able pay well below market value for him and he goes largely ignored by other clubs

Given its a 'super' draft hopefully he slips right down the list

Why do you think he will be ignored by other clubs? From reports he is performing well and would be catching the eye of the other 17 clubs recruiting staff.

Hope is all we can do as Bulldogs supporters at times
