Lenny Hayes

IMO he had a bit of a down season (was still very good) compared to 2003. I was wondering how people who saw him play often think he went and how will he go this year??
Also where will X-Man play and how is he looking at training?

Thanks!!

Lenny is my favourite player and i watch him very closely.

He didnt play aswell as he did in 2003, where he won B&F and AA honours, and also represented Australia against Ireland in the International Rules Series.

He captained the club in 2004, with extreme leadership qualities, and kept the boys togther in a tight knitted group whilst all the off-field dramas where happening. He did a sensational job as captain and has made himself, family, friends and the club proud.

He still took out our Runner-Up B&F behind Riewoldt, which it was expected he (Riewloldt) was going to win it. Lenny beat Bally, Aussie, Fraser, Harvs and Dal. Thats a fantastic achievement.

I think he will have a fantastic year, barring injury (touch wood he doesnt get injuried) and he will be in our leadership group leading us with the qualities he gathered from 2004.


I think it wont be easy for Xav to break into the team, but when he does he needs to play to the standard that we know he can play to. He has speed, has has been building up without trying to loose his speed.

With his brother at the club know the will be both pushing for selection and pushing each other to the max which will be good for themselves and for the club.

When Xav does play i can see him playing a role on a foward flank or on the wing. Using his pace he can burst into space on the wing and kick goals when on the foward flank. I honestly believe that he will be setting himself for a big year to make up for the dissapointment of 2004.


I hope that answers your question.

Go Saints.
