Player Watch Will Hayes

[granniewolf]

Seven possessions on the night suggests he's not ready to contribute as does the extremely light frame. Given a taste against a bottom team but a long way to go and back to the VFL for the young fella to develop into a player who can play well enough to hold a spot but it's not this year.

I beg to differ. I think/hope we will see him in the senior side again soon.

Harrrrr, I bet you do choke up, I know I do. These kids must make their parents so proud, they've done a great job with Will.

It's happened before with TJ and Ryan, that taste is all he'll get unless injuries strike. The light frame isn't ready for consitent AFL production so back to the VFL and into the gym this summer.

He'll be better for the exposure and will understand the speed of the game at the top level. He can build on it moving forward, add more strength in the off season.

Harrrrrr, wait till you get to my age. Speaking of age, I was shopping yesterday and started talking to a lady next to me, she told me she is 102,has had covid and it wasn't too bad.
She was fabulous, there was a guy with her wheeling her trolly, she put her hand up and whispered, we're not on together he just takes me shopping.
Was so funny. 102 and getting around like a spring chicken.
Loved it.

At least we’re clearer now on the providence of your nom de plume.

Yeah I know FJ
It's good that he is getting in touch with his feminine side .

 

[Carlthetruth]

Youngster omitted, so I guess the calls to 'just play him' were a bit misguided. Promising but he's not ready to consistently contribute, game and body both have a long way to go.

We had 5 of our best to bring back in. 2 premiership players were also omitted to bring them back in.

He earned his debut and acquitted himself well.
Nothing misguided about that.

Thanks for the Ricki Lake like approval of my newly found wimpyness guys.

Better change your avatar Pistol - it's way too masculine for your new image.

I'd go with Rambo movies - Adriiaaaaaaaaaaaaan - Rocky was a bit of a blubberer.

VFL watchers will tell you he didn't, he was quiet in the lead up and said himself he was surprised to be picked. Promising but not ready and that's where he's at.

Well if the VFL watchers say so...

The coaches clearly thought differently. He was playing the role we want at AFL level well at the VFL level - not high disposals and goals aplenty, but high pressure and contest, whilst maintaining the defensive zone.

As you know, players are often picked for reasons not always apparent to fans watching the VFL.
Hopefully this taste of AFL will give him the confidence to continue to grow as a player.

That's true but for those on here who were calling on his inclusion and to just play him you've now seen he's not ready and that's why he didn't play well so back to the VFL he goes. Big potential but that body is miles off so into the gym young fella, we don't want another Ben Sinclair on our hands and probably the same people were clamouring for his inclusion.
