Stats
Bio
Recruited from the small northern Victorian town of Pyramid Hill, Kevin Hunt was a lightly built prospect who earned a brief trial with Carlton during the 1954 VFL season. Standing just 174cm and weighing 73kg, the 20-year-old was brought to Princes Park to test his mettle against the league's best, managing to break into Percy Bentley's senior lineup for four matches. Despite the opportunity, Hunt struggled to impact the scoreboard or secure a permanent niche in a Blues side that finished mid-table, eventually ending his VFL tenure without a goal to his name. His career at the elite level was confined to that single winter, remaining a classic example of a country recruit who tasted top-flight football before departing the scene as the club looked elsewhere for talent.
