“It’s disappointing for Lach. He’s had a calf that’s nagged him a little bit,”

“As we’ve upped the load, he’s just struggled to be able to cope. Clearly then you’ve got to back off and that’s where it’s at right at the minute.”

“He’d need a little bit of luck now (to play Opening Round), but the guys are pretty confident they’re on top of what the issue is.” Melbourne GM of AFL Performance Alan Richardson.

Hunter averaged 22.4 disposals, 4.2 marks, 1.8 tackles and 0.3 goals  from 24 games in 2023.
