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

[Val Keating]

I am glad you feel gratified but his one year contract extension.

C’mon man you thought he’d be delisted and came in here to gloat about it. It was pretty grubby tbh. You’re not going to death ride him next year are you?

I like this bloke more than others around here as a medium defender.

He's athletic and pretty dogged but he also is happy to peel off his man and will go back with the flight too.

Some question marks around disposal but technically he seem alright.

I think his weakness is he's not a natural defender and his decision making sometimes when defending and with the ball is a bit off. It may all improve with a bit more time.

Maybe not a long term solution but he was never a delist for me.

Imo his main weakness is his body letting him down. Unfortunately it’s been like that since he a junior. Before he’s body started letting him down he was pretty much neck and neck with LDU as the best kid in the country.

I really like Hayden. If he gets continuity in his games, the skeptics will eat their words.

I just remember some of his great games when he was on. Clean, has courage and his tough as nails. Absolutely pants his opponents in that backline.

Yes he has some shockers but that’s all people tend to focus on

 

[Devington]

I've seen some people post in various threads that they don't think he has any upside and I genuinely don't know how to properly reply to that. In terms of injury riddled talents he's one of the more promising on physical attributes alone. I'm very happy he's getting an extension, and I have faith that things like his concentration and ball skills will only improve with some genuine consistency. Whether his body allows that is another issue entirely unfortunately.

IMO give him the same time as we gave Garns... this kid will prove all the haters wrong

Ok …. So give him 7 years for 49 games

It was 9 years....drafter 2012...but who was counting - well I guess I was from 2017 onward.....

The Lions are cherry ripe for next season.

i still have reservations about their forward line, a lot will depend on what we see with raynor as he recovers from injure.

He'll come out of the woodwork to knock the kid don't worry.
Good to hear he finally signed

 

[Bren]

On ya Ronnie!
It's your yearbud!

 

[Go_Roos!]

Hopefully the bad luck with injuries is behind him and he goes from strength to strength.

 

[hilly]

Hopefully I'm wrong about him.

There is a vacant spot on the hbf - atm there are about 5 players vying for it and that is before we hit FA and the draft.

I have always liked KH - his take it on style and aggression is what we lack elsewhere around the ground.

He will need a big and uninterrupted pre season - if he gets that he will be right in the mix for a Round 1 spot.

Am I the only one that read that as " earbud"?

Anywho, good news and like his cousin Matty am sure given a chance he'll be a fine player.

 

[kool kangas]

Still waiting for the announcements on Atley, Dumont, Ziebell, . Glad Hayden re-signed...

Good news that Kyron has got another year, hope he has an injury free season and seizes the opportunity to show us what he's got.

i would say he is pretty much where garner was this time last year, balls well and truly in his court.

True, but age on his side, and hope his hammy's aren't in similar shape

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

I still see kyron as the big body mid we need to protect the more slight mids in the team.

 

[Star]

Anywho, good news and like his cousin Matty am sure given a chance he'll be a fine player.

Best remembered for his 380, his marriage to JL and his s**t chicken casseroles.

I've sent Kyron an inspirational Pat Cummins poster for his bedroom wall.

Anyway, good news. A season for Ronnie to prove himself.
