Welcome Welcome to Carlton Nick Haynes

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Welcome Nick
In his prime one of the best defenders in the league, his experience and knowledge should be a big asset for our defenders particularly our younger ones…

Nice to see he signed for one year and not two.

Suggests he is coming over to actually try play games and not just extend his career.

Welcome.

Happy with the pick-up. Hopefully stays fit and provides us another reliable option down back

 

[Orange crush]

Good luck to Nick …. A nice pick up if only as a break glass in emergency

 

[BIuebagger]

Welcome Nick! Happy with this roll of the dice. One year deal, experienced, probably low cost, and can provide some great traits for our backline if he gets picked. More depth/backup signing id say.

The gastric stuff that he went through sounds terrible, I hope if he’s got a year or two left he can find some form of yesteryear and surprise some. Dogs were after him year after year at one point, when he was on top of his game.
Looking forward to seeing him in navy blue.

from Austin:

“durability is a key asset we are really looking to add to our playing list during the off-season”

Best news I’ve heard from Blues all year………………………

Welcome to the Blues,Nick. Hope you and your family enjoy your time with the CFC

 

[Aphrodite]

Highlights anyone …

 

[Jimmae]

didnt play much this year, has he been injured ?

17 games at both levels. Fared better than I'd realised, with some absolutely commanding VFL performances.

Can definitely help us for a year or two, unlike every other defensive tall signing we've made over the last 4-6 years.

Funk: Nick, what are you looking for in players?
Austin: Er, Dur...... ablity!

5 years ago this would have been epic.

Don't think he is best 22 next year but I guess he's more reliable than Marchbank.

 

[agro]

If he can play 4 games in a row at both AFL/VFL level - we are way in front

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Did he lose his back spot at GWS due to lack of continuity with injuries or was he surpassed by others?

Don’t follow GWS closely enough

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Zorco is 34, gives me hope for this old codger..

 

[Chism]

Bang for bucks this is a no brainer and welcome Nick.

The possum that’s been run over down the street sadly is more reliable than Marchbank.
