Karmichael Hunt

Summary:

One of the most highly paid AFL players, NRL convert Karmichael Hunt carries many questions with him.

- Is this nothing more than an AFL publicity stunt?
- Does Karmichael HUnt have the ability to play competitive in the AFL?
- Will he play regardless of form?

His VFL games this year weren't impressive, but he did show signs of improvement.


The Crystal Ball:

Based on m0nty's fanplanner

Price: $87,500

Position: DEF

Hunt is cheap. Like many other Gold Coast 'rookies'. However, given his profile, it is likely that Hunt will play from round 1 as a key defender. I imagine Hunt will improve as the year progresses.

Decision:

Shortlisted for me. Cheap backmen who are all-but-guaranteed to play are always gold in SC. However, I'd be more inclined to choose ex-Magpie Sam Iles who recently won the Gold Coast's best and fairest.

What price do you reckon Iles will go for ?

What price do you reckon Iles will go for ?

normal rookie price

[Boomz]

Iles, Coad & Toy all ahead of him at this stage.

[Fletch74]

He'll be shortlisted, but I will be looking at the other rookies ahead of him despite the fact they might cost more.

[Maca24]

[supercoach addict]

Can see him becoming the new Presti(except without the real life talent). Not even kidding!
