The time has come to begin speculation on how Taylor Hunt continues to get selected in an improving team despite his on-field shortcomings.
The common refrain is that he is needed for his "defensive pressure" and "gut running", however I note that last night Hunt was the ONLY tiger not to register a single tackle, so we can safely rule out any football-related reason for his selection. I think we can all agree that the TRUE reason for selection is buried in the murky world of football politics and potentially embarrassing secrets which he knows about our head coach, Damien Hardwick.
I've started a poll to speculate about what those secrets could be, but feel free to add your own ideas in this thread.
