Hunter began his career at a weight of 64 kg (10 st 1 lb), 5 kg (11 lb) lighter than any other AFL listed player.[3] However, Hunter did begin to bulk up in his first few months and he showed enough form in the VFL,[3] playing for Melbourne's VFL-affiliate Sandringham, to be selected in Melbourne's senior side towards the end of the season, due to Melbourne's poor form. He debuted against the Western Bulldogs in round 18 of the 2003 season[4] and, although only having two possessions, he was selected in the side the next week against Geelong, when he had two handballs, one kick and three tackles. This, however, was to be Hunter's last match at AFL level. Hunter remained on Melbourne's list for the 2004 season and, although he bulked up in the pre-season,[4] he was still one of the lightest players in the AFL, and he failed to play a match for the season. Melbourne then delisted him at the end of the 2004 season.[5] He played with Sandringham for the season, but was dropped from the team on the eve of their Grand Final victory.[5]
