Defenders Adam Kennedy and Nick Haynes and ruckman Rory Lobb, who were all coming off contract at the end of next season, have extended their deals until the end of 2017.
http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/nic...f61af7070220d8fe8f58abaeee593?from=public_rssNICK Haynes was fighting against the odds well before he arrived at the Giants five years ago weighing just 77kg. Haynes didn’t even play football between the ages of 12 to 16 after a badly broken arm scared him off the game. When he returned to the game he was still a massive longshot to ever play in the AFL.
Giants defender Nick Haynes is set to miss most of the season with a hamstring injury suffered in Friday's heart-stopping two-point win over the Western Bulldogs in Canberra.
Nick Haynes is used to landing in strange positions but not like this. His legs were pointing in opposite directions, he had just done the splits. He knew he was in strife.
"I remember hearing a pop, it can't be good when I hear that," Haynes recalled of the incident against the Western Bulldogs which cost him six games. "I grabbed the left hamstring straight away, I knew something was there."
Footage of Haynes' injury is enough to make the eyes water but that did not stop the Giant from watching a replay of the incident. He wanted to find out how he had performed such a trick.
"It was Josh Dunkley's leg, he dragged it out more," Haynes said. "It's pretty funny, I pause it when I got to the full split. I wasn't cringing, it's just one of those freaky things."
The Giants defender is used to such freaky occurrences. Some have cost him games but one almost led to him calling it quits at the age of 13.
Kid is a gun, if not for injury would be AA this year if not already
