enjoyed a rocketing start to his career as he became the 11th-youngest player in the AFL era to reach 50 career goals in 2018. The 2016 draftee’s nippy pace and cunning goal awareness have made him a dangerous option in coach John Longmire’s forward line. A broken jaw and a persistent hip injury limited Hayward to just 12 goals in 13 senior games in 2019, but the South Australian is attacking the 2020 campaign on the back of his first full pre-season. Don’t be surprised if the exciting Swan finds himself on a wing this year.

[Olian]

5 of his last 10 games Papley hasn't laid a tackle- no wonder teams waltz out of our 50 at times.

We moved to the 2 tall forward structure to accomodate Papley”s anemic reaction to tackling.

 

[SeanM]

I feel most of our forwards did not have a good game.

But they succeed or fail as forward unit. Because they need to work together to apply defensive pressure or create chances and space for each other.

It is an area where they have to rely on creating space, linking up with each other, territory and the supply from midfield. Rather than brilliant individuals dominating the defence.

So I think they will review how they can improve as a group. Rather than just "play better Hayward".

 

[caesar88]

Lift…. Starts with the middle which was average. Blaming a forward for poor delivery is a hard argument to follow.

And I've criticised the midfield as well?

Everyone was to blame. As I said in the autopsy thread, no one except Wicks was really at the level we needed them to be at.

But there is a big difference between say an Isaac Heeney or a James Rowbottom or a Chad Warner or a Tom Papley having a disappointing game and Will Hayward having a disappointing game.

You seem frustrated that a player some consider to be consistently disappointing is copping it but others who are consistently among our best players are not.

Yes it's favouritism, and yes there's a reason it exists.

 

[The King!]

The games not a tackling game like it was in say 16 when we had over 100 against the Cats , it's now a pressure game

It's not a stand and watch the opponent play game though .

Papley and Hayward are both frustrating imo, their best is great and then they both don't contribute at times .

What is more annoying is when they are both rubbish like Friday and when the debutant looks more engaged then both.

 

[The King!]

We moved to the 2 tall forward structure to accomodate Papley”s anemic reaction to tackling.

No need to tackle anymore apparently , even though he used to be quite good at it.

 

[bedford]

Why play him half fit? Others have to carry him. He was average and plenty in the crowd thought so. What would we know……. As paying punters.

Glad you pay and welcome to your opinion and im not defending him , but he had 6 score involvements and the new golden child of the forward line had 3 and 5 less touches and 1 less goal . But this bloke needs to go on the road selling his Doozys if he continues like that

People reckon i have my whipping boys wow we , at least you are consistent

 

[The King!]

Yep so you agree then and have no counter .

I don't whip these guys , like both these players. Just find it odd you bag one and praise the other when they are so similar in output and consistency .

 

[bedford]

Yep so you agree then and have no counter .

I don't whip anyone , like both these players.

I'm leaving you now to watch Jack Ryan

 

[The King!]

I'm leaving you now to watch Jack Ryan

So we are breaking up then that's it

Enjoy Jack

 

[bedford]

So we are breaking up then that's it

Enjoy Jack

Great show , or i might go to Rogue Heros 2

 

[rustycrate]

Seriously why say hate , it's that he's not doing what he's got a big contract for . Trust me i like him , but like Rohan he disappears when needed

I give up.

 

[LikeAVersion]

Hayward to defense must be considered

5 disposals is completely inadequate

 

[Olian]

Paps is a massive culprit of garbage tackle counts.

His defensive side is pretty average

Turnstiles offer more resistance.

Is there anyway of finding a heat map of where Will was last week and even this to compare his work rate
This is not a knock , but to get an understanding

Stop living in the past though, focus on this week

Only possessions. Via the AFL app, you can go to a match fixture, Players tab, tap on a player.

Will had 3 touches inside or on F50 arc. 1 touch forward side of wing. 1 touch on the wing a bit out from defensive 50.

Yuk, that's very, very poor.

 

[bedford]

I see on here sometimes heat maps , i reckon i saw one of Campbell

 

[bedford]

You will be in trouble

If you have the AFL app, you can also find the full list of nearly every involvement from every single player from every single game. I often use that as a reference point when judging a player's performance because you can sort of see everything they've done in a game all in quick succession. (Well, not quite 'everything.' Things like packs crashed, shepherds/blocks and pressure acts still aren't included.)

For example:

 

[Jewelsbon]

Hahaha. But I'm a fan of Will so I'm allowed!

This week he hasn't played yet

Afl don't keep a heat map of day to day activities . Maybe they do, maybe we all have heat maps ?

Wonder what yours is like?
