News Sam Hayes signs for North Melbourne VFL

If the Crows were Norwood, would they have developed Adelaide oval?

If the crows were Norwood, Glenelg would have slapped an injunction on them from joining the AFL.

Carn. Any attempted counterfactual 1990 or consensual 1997 Norwood entry gets belted (1990) or stitched up financially (1997) just like ours was. There is no alternate universe where Norwood are financial enough to buy up enough control of the SANFL to do as they please.

Just like there seems to be no alternate Hinkleyverse where Sam gets a run

and run faster than kennys favourite greyhound

Just running faster than Kenny might be a good start…

Not playing this guy full-time in the ruck all season until there's literally no other options is the most bizarre shoot-self-in-foot, cut-off-nose-to-spite-face move ice ever seen. Truly weird stuff. Brynn Teakle lmao

The only time he shouldn't have been first ruck in the snaffle was when he was first ruck in the AFL.

Immediately dominant the second he's given a run as 1st ruck.

BnF 2 seasons ago. Real smooth brain stuff from the club. There's got to be more to it than the odd dart surely

 

[dirty2]

Hopefully someone somewhere gives him a shot...

 

[TazD]

Did he play well today or did the lung cancer take him in the 3rd?

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Front position in ruck all day. Giving our mids top service. His work rate around the ground was good and laid some nice tackles.

Surprised the club didn't roll out Matthew lobbe instead

 

[Phar Ted]

I'd be surprised if another club grabs him, he's just an average dinosaur ruck.

Plenty of those in the AFL.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

As if you don't take your most talented tap ruck over with our midfield!

Hayes is gone

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Sam Hayes rn:

 

[philthy05]

Plenty of those in the AFL.

an average dinosaur ruck arguably gave Essendon a great chance to win tonight but for Houston snatching a win.

 

[Del165198]

If lycett can't come up next week it MUST be Hayes.

Yeah nah Dante had a tough lead up getting the call at the last minute, so we'll back him in for another crack

 

[Del165198]

Dante could still turn into a good player, and landed a nice tackle tonight but he had 4 touches and 2 hitouts in more than half a game. The big Essendon ranga almost won them the game in the last 10 minutes just smashing it forward.

Not giving Hayes games now when lycett could fall over any minute is batshit crazy and could cost us a flag.

 

[Ah12]

Its embarrassing what we are doing with this bloke. No hes not better than Lycett but he should be first man in when we need a ruckmen and prepped to take over from him. He is 10x the player Teakle/Visentini are.

 

[gbear]

Hayes needs to come in if Lycett isn’t right next week

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

He's no superstar but he has to be next man up. None of the games he put in last year looked as bad as what Visentini dished up tonight.

 

[drcollossimo]

Yep it’s beyond the pale now personal grievances aside Ken it’s time to pick him

 

[Adam_23]

Should be in next week if Lycett isn’t right but watch it be Lord with Finlayson starting ruck

 

[Long live PAFC]

Look. The games he played last year, he looked gassed and had clear deficiencies.
Preseason and off season suggested issues with professionalism.

However, it’s hard to deny his talent. It’s hard to deny that his deficiencies are any worse than Brynn’s, Dante’s, Lycett’s or Jez and Dix.

I don’t know what the coaches want or see or don’t see, but it seems like we are missing something if Sam Hayes isn’t the best ruck option at Port.

 

[afl2004]

Lycett body is on its last legs , need to play him if lycett is not fit enough and dixon body can't be centre square ruck

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The club has stamped his papers.

Like they're actively avoiding putting him in the rucks in the seconds.
