List Mgmt. 2022 Senior List - The Final TWO Spots

[FRUMPY]

That he does not add to our player pool at VFL level. Jeremias has been big on this and I tend to agree.

This leads me to believe that club thinks he’s ready to go at AFL level. Perhaps on a wing.

There is no way they would choose a player to help the VFL team....need to be fired if that's why they select someone

Wonder how Dow feels, us bringing in another mid...

 

[Arr0w]

I would hazzard a guess that it says a LOT about Vossy's thinking re the general midfield depth factor mate - no names no pack drill.

Oh, Voss would love Hayes's hardness and his footskills

 

[Blue Bloods]

I trust the club now. Didn’t for many years.

There will be reasons for both selected and the 18 month contract from Ballenden stopped all clubs from taking him.

 

[djw1952]

Durdin was a solid pick for needs, a tad perplexed with the Hayes selection

Me as well Arr0w, as a young kid like Carrigan would have made sense after going with experience with our first pick....but?

Of course we are aiming for a player capable at AFL level, but bringing in a player from outside our system would make our reserves stronger.

I've watched him play seconds ( on TV) - he and Carroll were a cut above most of the others....

Compared to Cotts?

 

[JustaBattler]

Compared to Cotts?

Better handball, better kick under pressure, smarter with ball but he was playing much closer to contests than Cotts ...

I've been semi impressed by Cotts especially against the swans. The other thing, has Hayes being played on ball or on a wing?

 

[Ash24]

Hayes made VFL team of the year in 2018 on the wing. Good selection and glad we're picking players in positions who can have an immediate impact.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

If they have Hayes pegged as a wing. Great selection.

Expecting Durdin to play against the cheats

 

[jj1978]

Maybe in the guts for Hayes pushing Cerra and Walsh on the wing more.

 

[TENACIOUS]

You sugggesting TDK is the fuLL Time forward or ruck/forward?

ruck forward, when Pittonet is right to go

Clearly this bloke could have cruised in life off the back of the family and its name.

He chose the hard work option instead - yep, Vossy would love him....Ash Hansen too, no doubt.

 

[myblueroan]

Hayes certainly is a cut above VFL, did he get injured though?

You said the 'i' word.
Can no-one say the 'i' word now for a very long time? Please?
Better yet, can no player get ...you know..that word....for like...ever again?

 

[Blue Reaper]

Get the sense that both Durdin and Hayes could take the next step and thrive under the Voss blowtorch.

Hayes is also a guy who would play for minimum wage. Maybe come the end of year any player like Dow, Setterfield etc who are our current depth we will want to replace with a similar level player on lower dollars to create cap space for a FA?

Who really knows, maybe the club just think he is an AFL level player.

A lot of talk about him challenging for a wing position.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Dow & Setterfield were both trade bait and Hayes soon elevated himself to be our first midfield depth player should any of our fab 5 miss a game.

• Dow - Looking at what our coaches are trying to build, I don't think they like his lack of defensive running. Voss wasn't exactly glowing in his assessment of Dow in his post-Collingwood presser.
• Setterfield - Hayes might already be above him in the pecking order based on VFL performances.
• Carroll - Only a 2nd year player, still developing. Was exposed in the Collingwood game when the pressure went up.
• Curnow - Injured and likely to retire.
• Cunners - Always injured.

So really, Hayes could be a very useful depth pick up.

They sort of did with Durdin - that's one more KPD to hold the 2s together even if Kemp and/or Marchy get picked ahead of him

 

[skadoosh]

Welcome to the Blues Sam!
So give us your options for our Durdins - I'll start off Surds & Curds. Easy one to better.

 

[RAPPA]

Lol well I was going to joke before the day about us picking a midfield being the one position that is surplus, and there you go. Dodoro esque that pick.

 

[GT619]

Smart choices

 

[DangerousD]

He is 26, i see it as cover only, but we have a fair number of options around this type

Perhaps it is only a 6 month insurance gap

Could it be an insight to how Voss rates our second string mid options? Or is it a TPP decision? We have Hayes out performing Carlton listed players who are taking up sizeable cap room or Voss might actually feel Hayes is a better option than Dow and Setters in case of injury.

As someone who watches a bit of VFL, if Hayes was on our list all year, would he have been picked before Setters or Dow?

If the answer is yes, then picking him up and trading one of the others would be a good move financially.
