Adam Hunter

In 2015, Hunter has nominated to play for the Whitford Warriors in the WAAFL.

In 2011, Hunter returned to play for Swan Districts in the WAFL.

Hunter returned to play for his junior club, South Bunbury, in the SWFL, for the 2010 season. Hunter also assumed a role as patron of the South West Academy of Sport's football program. Hunter kicked 47 goals in only seven matches for South Bunbury.

There was speculation that Hunter would retire after his 150th game (earning him Eagles life membership) due to his chronic shoulder injury, but this was denied by Hunter and the club. Hunter played his last game for the Eagles in Round 13, 2009 against Geelong, gathering 26 disposals in an Eagles loss, before once again succumbing to his shoulder injury. He announced his retirement from the game at the end of the 2009 season.

Due to debilitating knee and shoulder injuries, Hunter missed much of the 2008 and 2009 seasons, playing only 19 games over the two seasons, where he was played more often in the forward line.

Hunter continued his premiership form in 2007, and was regarded by some as the club's most important player, due to injuries to Chris Judd and Ben Cousins. Hunter once again played every game of the 2007 season.

In 2006, Hunter played a key role in the Eagles' backline. Hunter was also often used by coach John Worsfold as a "swingman", being shifted to centre half-forward where he played a key role in the forward line. Hunter kicked 29 goals in 2006 to be third in the Eagles' goal-kicking behind Quinten Lynch (65 goals) and Andrew Embley (31 goals), scoring four goals in a game four times. 11 of these goals were scored in the finals series. Hunter received a single Brownlow Medal vote, the only one against his career, for his efforts in the Eagles' win over Carlton, where he gathered 18 disposals and kicked 4 goals.

Hunter kicked four goals against the Adelaide Crows, in the preliminary final, which help get the Eagles to a grand final rematch against the Sydney Swans. He kicked the final goal for West Coast in the 2006 Grand Final, which turned out to be the match-winner for the Eagles.

In 2005 Hunter established himself as the Eagles' centre half-back, replacing Glen Jakovich, who had retired the previous year, and Quinten Lynch, who had been shifted forward. Hunter played all 23 Eagles' game for the year, including the Grand Final loss to Sydney.

Hunter rates his 2005 qualifying final performance against the Sydney Swans as his career highlight, in which he turned the match around with two goals. He did the same in the 2005 AFL Grand Final, a few weeks later, but Sydney came back and went on to win.

Hunter played 17 games during the 2002, including the losing elimination final against Essendon, establishing himself in a role in the backline.

Hunter originally played for South Bunbury Football Club in the South West Football League. He joined Swan Districts for the 1999 WAFL season, playing 16 games and kicking 11 goals.

Hunter was recruited with the number 29 draft pick in the 1999 National Draft by the West Coast Eagles. He made his debut for West Coast in the final game of the 2000 AFL season against Melbourne, gathering three disposals in a game the Eagles lost by 70 points, 26.14 (170) to 15.10 (100). He played a further nine games in 2001.
