Welcome Welcome to Collingwood Will Hayes

Hmm.
If he was wider and a couple inches taller, would he have been picked earlier?

He might still be growing...

It's enough to make a man cry.

Then use his pants to wipe away tears.

Wouldn't you have to take your pants off to do that?

They have to go on before you can take them off. Who is not embracing the pants-free lifestyle

I'm just surprised that Obese Arachnid owns pants.

You’d have to put your pants on to do that.

Jones is listed at 63kg

Its 68kg's according the the "The Western Australian". Same weight as Watson at the Hawks but Hayes is 10cm taller.

His running capacity no wonder they liked him. Given we base our game off stuff like that.

Not to mention his fantastic agility and beautiful foot skills. A lot to like tbh

Gold.

Gold.

He looks a little ripper, doesn't he? I think he's going to be one of my new faves.

My first thought of a player likeness was Daisy.
I know he’s slightly shorter and doesn’t take many hangers but..
Skills, attack on the ball, stamina and flair.
That’s my truth

 

[Jelly Bean]

Needs to train himself to not need to bounce the ball in the first 5 metres when he takes off with it.

Fast forward to 4:40

If that's one of his worst traits, he's doing fine

The good running players who bounce the ball often bounce in the first 5 metres to get their rhythm and and balance. It's a good thing

And clean one grab hands.

Dale Thomas is a great call for the type of player that Will should model his game on. From the very limited highlights, I think DT is probably slightly more of a hard at it type (despite opposition supporters suggestion he was soft), but in terms of dash with ball in hand, you can definitely see similarities.

Having said that, DT was taken at pick 2, WH at pick 50 something, so let's temper our expectations.

and not got the Leap as Daisy had but Ball in Had there is some Similarity

I more thought he looked like Bobby Hill with his Delivery to the Forwards

Didnt know much about him until just reading. Winger with endurance and agility. The mark against him in the draft profile that he backs himself to take any kick so his decision making is questioned. To me thats a view of whether hes been given licence to take them with his kicking being sound.

As always ,this time of year every kid is the next best thing. but loved his highlights!
