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.

Also should've received a 50 m penalty in the 1st Q , but that female ump made a shocking decision , she was too far away

She was too close. Should have been umpiring the 4th division at Essendon

I timed her ball ups after the 1st one and it was 44 seconds , more time that a player gets with a shot AT goal . Just everyone throw the ball up

Where were the other 3?? They normally love paying decisions from 100m away.

 

[Olian]

Kicked 3 and is leading the goal kicking.

No doubt the experts will bag him but he’s had an ok season.

Did his job today 3 is a very good effort in 9 17

Missed his first set shot by the proverbial but spot on from there. Plenty busy.

Still only got 11 , but if he kicks multiple goals he's a bonus and Papley back would help

I dont think hes ever going to be a high stats player but if he can kick 2 or 3, provide pressure and generally make his touches count, he's doing his job.

That's what i was saying

 

[ashep]

Boys, we've managed to get Bedders to acknowledge a great game from Hayward. Quit while you're ahead!

Wasn't a great game and i have praised him in the past , just goes missing at times and is on too big a contract , i DON'T hate him for once and for all

Still won't call him by his actual name though

 

[MF]

I think I've said it a few times in this thread already but medium and small forward are just about the toughest positions on the ground to play when your side isn't travelling well. You get very limited opportunities to impact the game and unlike a Papley, Hayward doesn't get the luxury of a run through the middle of the ground.

It's no coincidence that wills best seasons and best games coincide with us performing well as a team.

If we can keep performing as a team I think we'll see his best most weeks

It's the WILL HAYWARD THREAD ,who else am i talking about !

 

[ashep]

It's the WILL HAYWARD THREAD ,who else am i talking about !

Is that Hill Wayward's cousin?

 

[bedford]

Another dud game , just goes missing when needed

 

[hairy biker]

Really liked his game today, so just for posterity.

7 tackles inside 50 (next best 2), 11 of his 13 possessions were contested (only Grundy and Chad had more CPs), 22 pressure acts and a terrific workrate throughout,whether presenting up on the wing or locking the ball I50.

Cops a fair bit on here and his workrate isn't always evident (on TV) or admittedly overly productive, but nobody should have any complaints about his output or peformance today.

 

[S120]

Huge last quarter solidified our win. His work rate was enormous. I’ve made this comment before but it seems to me that he often has his best games when he’s more of a senior leader in the forward line and he takes it on himself to lead by example. With Papley off it was one of those times. I’m not suggesting he does it every time by any means but I do think many of his best games come in times when the chips are down and it’s incumbent on him to show the way.

 

[RubbaDuck]

Will was a huge component of the pressure that won us the game. Seven tackles inside 50 is close to our average for the entire team. We had 23 in this game, of which almost a third were Hayward's work.

Will Hayward was instrumental in the win today.

Another great performance.

Defies his critics constantly.

 

[The King!]

[RilesMacca]

Can he start wearing a head bandage every week what a game

 

[Olian]

Gets injured and kills it.
