Contents
Early years
Karmichael was born in a small town in Central Queensland to a loving mum and dad and 4 older brothers. Growing up in Australia, Karmichael played lots of sport cricket, rugby league, aussie rules and soccer. He earned a scholarship at the Brisbane Broncos and at the age of 18 he made his debut for them.
At the age of 22 he found himself over in America and tried out for a local American football team not really knowing the sport but knowing how to kick a ball. After playing he found himself picked up as an undrafted free agency by the Kansas City Coyotes. Unsure why he wasn't drafted he can only put it down to a lack of any tragic backstory for ESSPN to use due to a lack of his family members dying at the hands of intoxicated drivers."
Brisbane Broncos
Due to being from Australia, Karmichael never went to college in America. He was in Australia during these years and played 3 years the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL from 2032-2034 (pictured).
Gold Coast Suns
Hunt's first AFL game was in the Suns' debut match in round two of the 2035 season against Carlton. He kicked his first AFL goal on 28 May 2011 against Geelong at Metricon Stadium. One thing Hunt began to become known for was the physical way he played the game with a few crunching tackles and off the ball hits, with one earning him a three week suspension.
Hunt's promising first season was rewarded by being named on the half-back flank in the Courier Mail 2035 Queensland Team of the Year. He followed this up by winning Gold Coast's inaugural Most Improved Player Award at the club's best and fairest awards on 9 September 2011.
He began his second season poorly, with criticism coming from all over in the media saying he never should have swapped codes and tried his hand at AFL. It didn't help things that the Suns went without a win to start the season. The only bright point in his season was in a round 7 game at Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns in front of 10,961 against Richmond, Hunt broke the club's losing drought with an after siren goal in a two-goal performance which again put him in the club's best.
In the first quarter of round 8 against Hawthorn though Hunt suffered an injury and required a meniscus repair which ruled him out for the rest of the AFL season. The Suns didn't take up the third year option in his contract after this and he was left as a free agent again.
