[skadoosh]

Welcome Nick!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Welcome Nick

I loved this guy as a player a few years back. He was on a par with Tom Stewart at one point. He will become our most experienced player immediately. This will help Weiters immensely.

 

[Revenant1965]

Welcome, Nick. Looking forward to what you will bring, not only on field.

 

[RPCB]

Welcome Nick.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Oh and I hope we get the man bun version. Suits him. Looks like The Witcher.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Welcome Nick! Even if he's lost a step on-field, his leadership and experience will be worth it's weight in gold. Performance on-field is a massive bonus in my eyes, especially on a cheap 1-year deal.

Congratulations Nick on being the 10th member of the almighty 2015 GWS Giants to join Carlton.

potentially excess at Essendon, could we make it a dirty dozen? The sky id the limit here...

 

[SurreyBlue]

Glad it's a one-year deal.

 

[dumb]

i used to knock around with his uncle, this was some 15 years ago. his uncle's parents would go on a holiday, and he would housesit. i'd go and visit. every time i'd go to fill up my drink (probably something ridiculous like slate bourbon if you can remember that, or later on screwdrivers) i'd see the young face of nick haynes

on his grandparent's fridge. in between his uncle karate kicking along with elvis concert footage, messing around with linux, movies, him smoking, we'd chat and say nick was kicking ass up at sydney. haven't seen his uncle for 10+ years, our lives went in much different directions.
there ends my connection with nick.

good luck nick. i'll be thinking of that fresh faced kid on the fridge and if your uncle is keeping out of trouble.

 

[JJBagger]

Has the potential to be a shrewd pickup. Certainly will be handy to assist in the development of our inexperienced defenders. Anything on field is an added bonus. Could be in line for a coaching gig after footy at the club too?

 

[Aphrodite]

 

[COACH25]

Solid pickup is an upgrade from marchbank. He will play games throughout the year and is handy depth. Good third tall defender. Could allow mcgovern to play forward if we are looking at that option.

 

[Arr0w]

Shrewd pick up

Think he will plays next year, at worst a great back up

Believe he will transition into coaching a year later

 

[PatternAgainstUser]

Great low cost signing.

His upside is pretty decent if he can get on the park. Other than last years injuries he's been fairly durable over the journey and largely played out full seasons.

His episode on Dyl and Friends is pretty decent listening too. He'll be a great cultural fit.

 

[T2B_]

If he's past his health issues should be good for a year or so.

 

[The Sultan]

didnt play much this year, has he been injured ?

 

[Blue and Blue]

Good get, Welcome aboard Nick.

Just dont let em give you Marchbanks locker...its jinxed.

 

[Coona Blues]

Very happy with the pick up. Welcome Nick. Roll out those trademark blonde locks and turn back the clock to the eye catching dasher you have been for most of your career.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

didnt play much this year, has he been injured ?

I don’t think so. Difficult to get a game in front of Taylor, Buckley, Idun and Himmelberg.

Welcome to the Blues.

 

[GoBlues!]

Battered Giants veteran lured back by flag hopes

Despite injuries, the temptation of a possible premiership stopped Nick Haynes from leaving GWS

www.afl.com.au

History of hamstring injuries, staph infections, ulcers, gastric diseases.....but apart from that is good as gold.

NICK Haynes points to a scar on his hamstring. "A lot of them were just little ones, but this one was a bad one," Haynes tells AFL.com.au. "You can play through them and I did play through a few of them. (But) the one on my hamstring was the size of a golf ball and I probably shouldn't have played. I went to hospital for a week after that."
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1085583/medical-room-the-full-afl-injury-list-r1
Haynes then motions a bit further up to his glute. "This one got into my bloodstream and I was getting fevers and all of that sort of stuff."

 

[Gethelred]

Welcome, Nick.

 

[Eddie19]

I don’t think so. Difficult to get a game in front of Taylor, Buckley, Idun and Himmelberg.

Welcome to the Blues.

Aleer too!

 

[BluStreak]

Welcome Nick, looking forward to seeing you in action.
