Fantasy Impact: Jayden Hunt averaged 44.2pts from 17 games in 2022 at Melbourne, he scored a season high 77pts in Round 23 against Brisbane.
He averaged 10.0 disposals, 2.6 marks & 1.4 tackles.
Hunt scored fewer than 80pts in 100.0% of games.
His move to West Coast should see usage across half-back and out on a wing using his speed to improve ball transition.

Hunt is likely a pass in season long fantasy, it is worth monitoring his exact role and scoring output throughout pre-season at West Coast which may indicate any opportunity but there would have to be a significant improvement based on his historical scoring.
Hunt did average 72.5pts from 22 games in 2017 playing mostly across half-back at Melbourne.
He’s likely a pass in standard draft leagues unless a strong scoring output is identified over pre-season.
