Senior Nick Haynes

[The Bighouse]

McGovern is 190cm. Marchbank is 193cm. Haynes is the replacement for Marchy but is more reliable than McGovern defensively IMO.

We still need a genuine 2nd tall to play CHB because it’s clear we don’t rate Young. But as it stands, Haynes is our 2nd best tall defender.

Looks like we might be going into 2025 with Weiters and a host of 3rd tall types again (Haynes, Gov, maybe Kemp). I do think Kemp will remain forward though.

Mitch McGovern is a very flaky defender IMO.
Perhaps Nick Haynes can teach L.Young the nuances of defending (+ MM while he’s at it).
Moo into midfield/wing mix.
Kemp not allowed near defence (except for chop-outs/burst on the wing) - roaming forward bound.
