Game Day Round 17 - Sam Hayes vs The Sun

[Jason K]

Hopefully the start of something special

 

[PowerBaz]

Hayes could have 156 hit-outs and 89 disposals and never be seen again…

Good luck to him.

Ports by 38

Sammy Hayes tog will be the most scrutinised stat of all time.

 

[Capital Power]

Just keep winning. A loss today would really dent the confidence, at home against a team we haven't lost to in nearly ten years.

Ports by 30.

 

[jdeezy]

Can't believe it's finally Hayesday.

Port win every clearance and win by 300 points, Gold Coast drive a dump truck full of money to Hinkley's house, he takes on the job effective immediately, Josh Carr

takes over and signs the now available Stewart Dew as the first ever former coach turned player, purely so big Dewie kicks 5 goals in 5 minutes on Grand Final Day as Port romp to a famous 120 point grand final victory. Lock it all in

Haysed where the Sun don't shine

 

[Visenfest]

We should belt them, but we’ll grind out a 6 goal win or so.

Really hope Hayes can stick it up the doubters.

 

[gbear]

Looks as though it will just be cold by game time. Rain should have passed by around 12.

[Sewer de Lance]

What’s the conditions like in Adelaide, should we expect another Melbourne Dees type wet weather slugfest?

There'll be a Hayes over the sun
A Hayesy shade of Winter
Make Hayes while the sun shines
Hayes you, get off of my cloud
Hayes Hayes it's Saturday
Go Ports!

 

[davesnothere]

Concern is my belief that the Suns list is as good as ours and that they are underperforming.

Upside is you walk out of the hotel today the only thing on your mind is getting back to the Gold Coast.

We win by 18 points.

Ollie Wines BOG.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

We have played well when we have at least broke even in the ruck this year.

All of the mystery of Sam Hayes is going to be unveiled today to some extent.

Witts is a beast but we will see if Hayes can give a bit of silver service to the young guns.

The most anticipated game this year as if Hayes plays well, our rucks stopped suddenly are restocked again.

The mystery of Sam Hayes was unveiled last year in his stint at AFL level. He’s a good ruckman who will only get better with more opportunity.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

It'll be fair to say I'm not a big Hayes fanboy like some, but wish him all the best on his return.

Let's hope the midfield get around him and can read his tap work, not give him the JHF Goldstein demeanor.

 

[TeeKray]

The SUN will have set by the time this game starts so hard for Hayes to play against it.

 

[Adz2332]

This rain is crazy. Going to be the wettest game we have had in awhile.
I'd rest Dixon. He's sore, he's moving poorly and not great below his knees.

I'd bring in Evans

 

[Adz2332]

This rain is crazy. Rest Dixon play evans

Ken reads the game day thread title.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The addition of Sam Hayes has certainly sparked some interest in this match. Hope he at least nullifies Witts at the bounces and gets down and dirty around the ground.

But I am most pleased at the return of Lachie Conan the Barbarian Jones. He was making significant strides to being a consistent and frightening AFL footballer before his injury. Welcome back Lachie and keep laying waste to all before you.

Good night for a few freaky goals Junior. Get back amongst the goals

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

The worst of the rain will be long gone by game time. Only a 10% chance of rain at 6:30

Thing is I know it takes away as a spectacle but we have played some of our best footy in shyt conditions.

No it wasn't. If it was, he would have been played a lot more.

He was played in front of Teakle and Visentini. This year, both of those guys have a Champions Data rating of -14.52 against opposition ruckmen. Now player rating is a bit overrated but you can watch the games and see. We have some weird stuff that could be the last vestiges of the Hinkley era.

It will be interesting to see as this game will be scrutinized what Hayes is 'doing wrong' in terms of the coaching staff.

Anyway, go Sammy!!!!!
