Interesting listening to Triple M in Brisbane today and former Brisbane Lion Alastair Lynch was discussing Karmichael Hunt and whether he will remain in AFL after his contract expires in 2014.
He was pretty certain that he would go back to League. He spoke about as Gold Coast push to play finals this year and next, he would find himself in the reserves before too long, and a player of his confidence and ego would not handle that well. He has had a season of injury and very few games. A long way from playing before 30,000+ fans each week and state of origin.
It is not the first time I have heard rumours about K watching state of origin and asking himself why he is not there playing, he has accomplished his goal of playing 3 codes and maybe its time he came back to regular footy.
There are two interesting questions from this:-
1) How many of us here on this forum would take him tomorrow if we could put him straight in at 5/8?
2) Would we take him next year (pending release) or 2015? remembering he is only 26 now.
I will admit I was a massive K fan and was devestated when he left, but he had goals of being the first player to play 3 codes and I suppose at the time the broncs wasnt the best place with cullen/henjak around the place (things havent improved tho), and so he went for it. I always thought he would be a one team player in the locky mold and if he were to come back, I couldnt accept it be anyone but us. I believe he is a natural born leader and you only have to look at him playing league or afl, he is always a motivating factor for the young players around him. The sight of Barba (can't believe people still dont think he wont be at brisbane next year) and K Hunt in the same team makes me more interested immediately. Maybe those that keep putting "hunt" in there team wishlists are merely looking at the wrong hunt.
