After starring in a representative game before the 2013 National Draft, Hunt was chosen as a midfielder/half-back with Melbourne's last selection. Given the same number as his ex-Demon uncle Andrew Moir, Hunt played seven VFL games for Casey Demons before a back injury ended his 2014, and he didn't debut in the senior side until early 2016.
Once he made the side, Hunt's speed off half-back made him a regular. He played 19 games in 2016, and every match in 2017 before injury and form issues restricted him to just six games in 2018, and only one after Round 7. In 2019 he was played forward, finding immediate success with three goals in Round 3 and 21 for the year but his scoring tailed off in the second half of the year. Hunt was out of favour for much of 2020, playing only six games, but kicked seven combined between his first and last appearances of the year.
Returning to defence in 2021, Hunt played every game of the home and away season before missing finals, and Melbourne's premiership, after an ankle injury in Round 23. He was a regular in defence in 2022, playing 20 games, including both his side's finals. At the end of the season he agreed a three year deal to join West Coast as an unrestricted free agent, with Melbourne receiving 2022 National Draft selection #52 as compensation. He played in just nine wins from 58 games as an Eagle and retired at the end of 2025.
Hunt represented Melbourne in the 2014 and 2017 Grand Final Sprint, finishing 4th both times.
