Preview Round 9 2024 – Essendon vs GWS Giants, Saturday 11 May, 4.35pm AEST @ Marvel Stadium

I wanna see Pez in the midfield, Haynes into the back 6, can play on smalls or talls so it shouldn't upset match ups.

Not sure I can agree with Haynes playing on the smalls... he's lost a second or two of burst, but makes up for it by reading the play so well... Pez's mobility, speed and pressure are all way better than Haynes.

Haynes could play as a defensive wing and rotate through the back 6.

Yeah - that's what I expect. Just not instead of Perryman getting mid minutes.

Maybe small burst down back but the back 7 are solid and really no room for him while Idun and HH are fit. Would be too tall with him down back.

Trained all pre season as a wing

Perryman have the tank to.play.pure mid though?

I recall last season when Cumming was playing on the wing he would also do stints in defence. I expect Haynes will play the same sort of role
