[WA Tiger]

So can we secure him Saturday?

Yes

Not going to read too much into him training with the Saints. Seems saints are inviting every man and his dog to train with them next week

Ok, cheers, well lets hope we get him.

RICHMOND

Taylor Hunt (Geelong, 23, 63 games)

Why Hunt? Similar reasons to Robinson. Would bring midfield experience after overcoming a raft of injuries and showing promise in his initial years at Geelong. Has been involved with an elite team, has played a variety of roles including as a tagger and in defence, and is still young with his best football in front of him.

Likelihood: 7/10. Has also attracted interest from West Coast and accepted an invitation to train with St Kilda next week. Barracked for the Tigers as a kid and given they've likely missed out on Robinson, could make a decent offer to him.


ST KILDA

Taylor Hunt (Geelong, 23, 63 games)
Why Hunt? Midfield experience that would complement the youngsters the Saints have brought in over the past few years and will again in the November NAB AFL Draft. Would bring with him versatility and could play as a small defender and help out with run-with roles.
Likelihood: 8/10. From Beaumaris, Hunt is a local boy when it comes to the Saints' bayside heartland. Is also talking to Richmond – the club he supported as a kid – and West Coast, but might not be open to a move across the country.

WEST COAST
Taylor Hunt (Geelong, 23, 63 games)
Why Hunt? West Coast are seeking midfield depth, specifically pace, bigger bodies, and polished ball users. Hunt would fit the criteria the Eagles are searching for and he also has a lot of good football ahead of him.
Likelihood: 5/10 - West Coast is very interested but the Eagles are not the only suitors. Hunt will train with St Kilda next week and Richmond is also in the chase for the former Cat.

Taylor Hunt to find new home at Richmond

Taylor Hunt's career looks likely to continue at Richmond next year, with the Tigers set to sign the delisted Geelong midfielder as a free agent.

Hunt had spoken with West Coast since being cut by the Cats, and had also accepted an invitation to start pre-season training with St Kilda next week.

While the Eagles were in a position to offer Hunt a position in the club's primary list, it is understood the 24-year-old preferred to stay in Victoria if possible.

St Kilda, which has also invited delisted Adelaide pair Shaun McKernan and Jared Petrenko to train, would most likely only have been able to offer Hunt a rookie-list spot.

Hunt played 63 games in his five years with Geelong, becoming a regular senior player in 2012 playing as a run-with midfielder.

He has struggled since with shoulder and groin injuries, and was delisted after knocking back a three-year offer from the Brisbane Lions at the end of 2013 to keep playing with the Cats.

The Tigers had sought to bolster their midfield depth during last month's trade period, asking after St Kilda's David Armitage and exploring a trade for Melbourne's Jack Trengove until the extent of his foot injury was discovered.

Woah 

[Chuck17]

Now that it's likely we will get him can we start bagging the club for monkeyball and bringing recycled duds into our team?

[Mr Magic]

Damn we must think the draft is pretty weak.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Damn we must think the draft is pretty weak.

Or we are delisting another player to ensure 4 picks in the draft

[WA Tiger]

Damn we must think the draft is pretty weak.

Yeah agree, we kept Edwards.

Now that it's likely we will get him can we start bagging the club for monkeyball and bringing recycled duds into our team?

No because he can actually play IMV

24 yr old good tagger,  can run and most likely push out a grigg type

Compare that to C Knights, A Edwards, Hampson, Thomas who I never wanted

If he fails so be it good on the club for trying on this bloke. Think he will be a good find.

Damn we must think the draft is pretty weak.

Or we are delisting another player to ensure 4 picks in the draft

To delist another a play means we are flicking someone contracted

Ramifications for our salary cap

[Judge Roughneck]

WGAF if its Chaplin or gigg

You have to pay 92.5%, anyway
