Past #37: Kyron Hayden - delisted end '22 - 12 NM games/ 0 NM goals - thanks Ronny

[justroyal]

Did anyone else see him just busting through the midfield and taking off? Pretty sure he helped set up a goal.
I'm not sure who isn't sold but I reckon this guy will be a mid

North Melbourne development system "hold my beer"

From reports we completely gutted our recruitment department, and a lot of posters had negative things to say.
but we certainly had a type of player we went after and I thought our recruiting didn’t seem that bad over the last three years.

He has only ever been a mid/hf through his junior years and in vfl. He did some tagging before his injury and came back to training after covid and trained as a defender, he's a newbie in the backline.

 

[Bigeasy]

I'm wondering whether he's playing in defence to assist in his achilles recovery. Run straight towards goal instead of twisting and turning to face goal?

I think he's playing in defence because our first choice running defenders are all C-grade left footers with suspect-to-appalling footskills...

 

[DesertRoo]

Strangely enough running out of defence the closest player Kyron reminds me of is a young swan named R.Shaw.
he might’ve found his niche.

He's definitely building to be as defensively sound as his contemporaries back there, while being more deliberate and precise with his disposal. The footskills of our medium/smalls are definitely a big issue for us, so it makes sense to play Hayden slightly out of position to help alleviate that issue.

Massive hopes for Hayden, genuinely surprised he's adapted so well to the backline already considering a lengthy achilles layoff, general inexperience, and the fact this is the first time he's ever been there. Really happy that Shaw has been putting faith in him and persisting even when he could have easily phased him out a week earlier for Marley.

The naivety of youth , where you fear nothing.
Skills are good but he’s finding the ball and getting involved.
He’s a battering Ram but has finesse with ball in hand.

 

[muttley45]

At the moment, while serving his time in defense, he is only using his leap to spoil, wait till he moves up the ground a bit and starts going for his marks, i have good expectations in that regard.

 

[Bigeasy]

He has just played his 4th game and coming back from a 12 month achilles injury. Yeah he's going alright

Hard at it, and doesn't wear fairy boots either.

You can tell he's a man's man.

 

[The Warlord]

He's gay?

same boots as Jed

 

[Clarke is King]

He's gay?

Pardon?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Only 21 and has played so little footy in his life due to injury. So much upside.

 

[King Corey]

[ferball]

Pardon?

Hard at it and a man's man.

 

[ferball]

Although Kyron Hayden - Hard at it and a man's man would make a great thread title for a while.

 

[The Warlord]

Pardon?

He's a man's man according to one poster.

 

[brettman135]

This has become a very strange thread.

On a more football related note, clearly has the coaches confidence in his defensive abilities with the quality opponents he's been willing to put him on.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

He isn’t wearing yellow boots like nearly everybody else these days.

Black is the new black (for boots).

Put Libba and his s**t Tatts on his ass and Waussie will be ejected out of the pilot seat

 

[Go_Roos!]

Put Libba and his sh*t Tatts on his ass and Waussie will be ejected out of the pilot seat

We can only hope!

 

[Waussie]

My guess is that if he isn't set up in the backline, he'll run with bont or Bailey. Bont has some simliar traits to Pendlebury and Kyron handled him ok.
Bailey needs to be contained through the Midfield, he created a lot of forward entrys.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Defence, tagging, containment, shut down, run with role....blah blah blah

Here's a radical suggestion Why don't we just unleash the kid.

Throw him on ball, Throw caution to the wind. Dare to fail. What's there to lose.

Take a f#"+/;g risk.
