Hunt was one of the most talked about stories in the AFL in 2011 following his switch from rugby league to the expansion club.
Doubted by many, Hunt played 16 games and spent most of his time in defence on a variety of small and tall opponents.
Was thrown into the midfield for short bursts where his big body could crash through packs. Showed discipline and improvement, and will benefit from another solid pre-season.
Hunt made the highly publicised switch to AFL from rugby league and rugby union last year.
A proud, committed and extraordinarily naturally gifted athlete, Hunt has left no stone unturned to realise a quite incredible personal dream: to be the first man ever to play rugby league, rugby union and AFL at an elite level.
Hunt made his National Rugby League debut in 2004 with the Brisbane Broncos, played every game that year, and won the Dally M Rookie of the Year award for his stellar opening season. In 2006 he realised a childhood dream by representing Queensland and Australia.
Over the course of his five year stint in rugby league, Hunt played 124 games for the Broncos, represented Queensland in 11 State of Origin games, and lined up for Australia on ten occasions.
He cited the need for a fresh challenge as the reason for a controversial switch to rugby union in 2009 and was an integral part of French rugby union Top 14 side Biarritz Olympique's successful 2010 season, one which saw the club reach the final of the prestigious Heineken Cup European Club Championship.
But nothing could usurp the controversy attached to the July 2009 announcement that Hunt would make the quantum leap to a third professional football code when he signed a three year deal with AFL's newest club,
Hunt has been earmarked to play a larger role through the midfield in 2012.
