Has been a bit of talk about this in recent weeks, so bumping this thread for discussion.

Carlton linked heavily, St Kilda also mentioned...who else could be interested in the 32 year old defender?

Carlton have met with veteran Greater Western Sydney defender Nick Haynes, who is out of contract and likely to leave the Giants.
The Blues met Haynes recently as they canvass options to shore up their tall defensive stocks, according to two well-placed sources speaking on condition of anonymity.

Haynes, one of just five foundation Giants left at GWS, has managed only seve

While it is too early to determine whether the Blues will go ahead and sign Haynes, their apparent interest in the 32-year-old – who jointly won the GWS best and fairest in 2020 (with Lachie Whitfield) and made All-Australian that year – is a measure of their view that they need to explore finding a tall back to support the outstanding Jacob Weitering.

The appeal of Haynes to clubs lies in the fact he would come cheaply – zero draft cost and on relatively modest remuneration – and has a history as an elite intercepting defender with aerial prowess and football smarts. As a 32-year-old, he is better suited to a team in the premiership window, or one that has a desperate need to plug a hole in defence.

Amid a season where its defensive credentials have continually been questioned, Carlton “will land” an established veteran defender.

GWS defender Nick Haynes, at 32 years of age and in his 13th season, is considered a highly likely chance to play for the Blues next season.

“This is what the (insiders) are saying at clubland; Nick Haynes will land at Carlton next year,” said Herald Sun journalist Jay Clark on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle.

More durable than Marchbank. Is well passed his best but too good for VFL. Is better value to have on the list than Fantasia. If they want somebody to chew up time and chip kick around or long down the line but hasn't really been the aerial intercept player for a while now. Top clubman and brings professionalism and a load of experience.
