Rookie Draft - Daniel Hayes

[Bartram_Class]

Eastern Ranges boy.

Not the ruckman many were hoping for, 180cm.

I think 1 rookie ruckman at a time is plenty.

DANIEL HAYES (180cm, 70kg, Montrose)

"Hayes, a lightning-quick winger, had an interrupted season at TAC Cup level but his talent and physical attributes are undeniable. He produced top-10 results for the agility and vertical leap tests at the AIS draft camp and applied himself diligently in every challenge presented. He was a surprise selection for last year's Vic Metro team."

John Lamont (coach): "It depends on how much the AFL clubs like him. Obviously, there are a few that are interested in him because he got an invite to the camp. He worked pretty well up there; we've just got wait and see now.''

I like the pick, sounds a lot better than the likes of Fanning/Eriksen (lanky, crap ruckman)

Horray! Another one for the Bruddahood

Can't see the hurt in taking a punt on another quick midfielder that may be a total dud or may be another Davey case (not just cos he's aboriginal).

 

[Bartram_Class]

a lightning-quick winger

Thats enough to get me interested.

How many aboriginals on our list now? 5? (Davey, Wheels, Byron, Weetra and Hayes)

The Rev is the new Sheedy.

The Rev is the new Sheedy.

That can be a good thing or an incredibly bad thing if you think about it

 

[Marns]

That's true. Let's hope the premiership record kicks in damn soon. I'll take some sheedy-like insanity from Danners if it brings us some flags.

Amen to that brother. As I said in one of the other threads, I'm incredibly excited for this club for the next few years, I think we've set ourselves up not only for just one Premiership shot, but many to come. Everyone talks of an Brisbane-like dynasty for the Eagles...Who says we're not capeable of the same?

Ok...Maybe a little optimistic. I can feel it guys! Get on the bandwagon!

Maybe a bit optimistic but I know what you mean.
The potential's there (I hate saying that) and it's up to the players.
Though we're still a long way behind WCE and still behind Sydney.

Sorry to drag up a necro'd thread (and I can never remember BF rules about posting on other clubs forums so mods feel free to gurge and/or swing the ban hammer).

When Daniel Hayes disappeared from the AFL, he didn't share his pain — now he is suing his junior coach

Daniel Hayes was forging a path to a dream career in the AFL 17 years ago — but after leaving the Demons without playing a game, the small forward was left grappling with feelings few understood.

That’s an extremely sad article, I’m hoping he gets all the help he needs to live a stable life.
