A CHANGE of ends has been the key to success for Jayden Hunt this season, as the speedster has rediscovered his flare in 2019.

The shift forward has seen Hunt boot 11 goals in the past seven games, but he knows he can still take his game to another level.

“I’m really happy with the form but I still reckon I can add a few things to my game and really work on craft as a forward line player because I haven’t done too much of it,” Hunt told Melbourne Media.

“Hopefully I can build on it.”

The 24-year-old has looked at home inside 50 for the Demons and says he is beginning to believe in himself once again.

“Individually I’m pretty happy – starting to get a bit involved in the games and bringing my teammates into it,” Hunt said.

“I’m happy with the way the game’s tracking and hopefully I can keep on improving in this new role each week.”

Hunt burst onto the scene in 2016 with a breakout debut season, capturing the football world’s attention with his blistering pace off half-back.

It is no secret the Dee wasn’t playing the footy he would’ve liked in 2018, but a swing forward has helped him add value to the side.

“As is known, and pretty obvious, I had a pretty poor year last year,” Hunt said.

“I was just looking to reset. I continued to train as a back through the pre-season, but Goody decided, and the coaches, to give forward a crack and they’ve liked my up there.”

Melbourne’s forward line wasn’t functioning at its best in the early stages of the season, but last Friday night against the Eagles, with Hunt at full flight, the Demons appeared to have the spark back.

“I thought our movement was a lot better – especially for three quarters of the game,” Hunt said.

“Our conversion obviously was a big talking point – it wasn’t good enough and we should’ve really buried the game by three quarter-time.

“We just continue to work on our inside 50 kicks and finishes and I think it will be a lot better.

“But the real positive is the forward line is starting to function well, so I expect it to keep on improving.”

After an underwhelming start to 2019, the Demons have won two of their last three games and Hunt says the playing group is beginning to believe again.

“Our game is slowly coming together so I think the confidence is building and hopefully we can just start to finish off games,” he said.

Melbourne will be looking to take some momentum from its performance against West Coast last week into this Sunday’s clash with the Giants.
