News Sam Hayes signs for North Melbourne VFL

[raptalia]

Visentini has obviously gone past Sam Hayes in the pecking order. Ken doesn't want to play him in the AFL side and Teakle and Visentini are preferred over him in the Port Magpies. Unless Sam can reinvent himself as a tall forward there does not seem to be an opening for him at Alberton. Sam kicked 3 goals last week but Billy Frampton

kicked 5 or 6 a couple of times as a forward in the SANFL and still could not impress Ken. I have a distinct Billy Frampton

feeling about Sam.

All this highlights our inability to develop big men. As far as our current list goes it looks like our hopes rest with Dante Visentini.

So what happens when Sam gets 50 hitouts, a goal and 15 touches this week?

He's back as a realistic selection for the AFL side if Ken wants to keep his job.

 

[JimmyBC]

They'll ruck Visentini for the bulk.

Better get my Dante voodoo doll out

It’s half time?

 

[Schulzenfest]

So what happens when Sam gets 50 hitouts, a goal and 15 touches this week?

Only two tackles, defensive pressure not up to standard, delist.

Rewards himself with an extra pack of Winfield Blues.

It's your time to shine big fella

 

[Windy Cindy]

Not a fan but this might be his last chance.

Doubtful lycett can get through the remainder of the season without an injury or rest needed.

If that’s the case they will have no choice but to play him..

Need to get him playing big rucking minutes in the Maggies for a break glass emergency

I believe you will find it will have to be seriously desperate for Hayes to get a AFL call up.
There’s no Cinderella story here,he’s finished.

 

[Lefti93]

Sammy Darts, love him.

Sam Hayes will win an AFL flag this year, Aaron Keating style.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Sam Hayes will win an AFL flag this year, Aaron Keating style.

And will drop a 'Ken Hinkley, you were wrong!' as he picks up his medal before embracing recently installed senior coach Josh Carr on his way back to the rest of the team.

… all with a half-smoked durry in the corner of his mouth.

 

[Phar Ted]

Hayes would run out of puff trying to get up the dais.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Hayes would run out of puff trying to get up the dais.

He would still be finishing the time trial behind Toumpas!

 

[Del165198]

If we subbed Sam Hayes on instead of josh sinn we win by 120+. 100% serious

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

He would still be finishing the time trial behind Toumpas!

Toumpas playing against us in the 2s tomorrow

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

How the coaches think this bloke is not at the standard of Teakle is a genuine joke. He’s an absolutely dominant ruckman. Him in this last quarter is why we are ahead in this SANFL game now.

 

[Lefti93]

It's become genuinely stupid. I know we think we know more than the coaches at times, but nothing can tell me he doesn't deserve a game. It's a shame, Lycett is back up and running. He could've had 25 games under his belt by now...

 

[TazD]

Omitting Jonas, moving Bergman back and DBJ forward are crazier (in terms of the conservative Hinkley) selections than giving Hayes a game, especially when our rucks have been so trash. Its weird.

If we could give the catdawg Toby thurstans 100+ AFL games then I think Sam Hayes could maybe get a go.

25 plus games of AFL match fitness/conditioning, who knows what that would've done for his confidence & his desire between the ears.

Even if you don't rate him it sure would've been better than a circus of part timers that will never be serious ruckmen.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Was really good at tapping it down to the Eagles midfielders for the first three quarters. Or spiking it to space for the Eagles midfielders to run into.
