Toast Haynes in the Mix for All Australian 2020

[Callums_Guns]

Nick Haynes’ standout performances throughout the season have been rewarded with the defender named in the 40-man AFL All Australian squad.

Haynes played all 17 games in 2020 and took his game to a new level as the competition’s best intercept defender.

The 28-year old took more marks than anyone else in the AFL (121) and was ranked third in total intercepts possessions throughout the season.

It’s the second year in a row that Haynes has been named in the preliminary squad with laid back #19 also named in 2019.

The 2020 AFL All Australian Team will be announced on Thursday night in a function that will also crown the Rising Star, The Coleman Medallist, the AFLPA MVP and the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year.

The virtual event will be broadcast on Fox Footy and via AFL Live Pass on Thursday, September 24 at 7.30pm.

In the mix? BAH! It’s an insult that he isn’t automatically in the team just like last year.

And where is Whitfields call up?

Outstanding season even more special considering was without Taylor for most of the season and Davis missing 7 and Corr 2

 

[Gigantic]

Haynes has had a phenomenal year and consistently performed at an AA standard maybe bar our last game of the season

 

[Pres]

You'd think he'd be a chance to make it but his 2019 season was probably every bit as good as this one...

 

[Callums_Guns]

You beauty he is in !!

 

[Colonial]

Brilliant.

Well deserved and earned. Wouldn’t trade him ever.

 

[Andre the Giant]

No player deserves this more, a hard working, dedicated, tough, passionate, talented, team player.

Pound for pound the most consistent player to ever play for GWS.

Well done Nick, richly deserved
