#18 - Lewis Hayes - now thru 2027

Didn’t think things could get more ■■■■■■ at this club, yet here we are. Lav was strangely our most durable defender and we didn’t want him. It is a truely stupid and also incredibly unlucky footy club. Hope he makes it back ok.

Just read the news, ■■■■ me, poor bloke…hope he’s doing ok

He showed he is more than capable and can football. A 1 year deal was correct.

Um…he’ll be 22 in December.

But yes, he has plenty of time. Shocking news for the young guy, we really need him.

Gutted for Hayes. Hopefully he can get sorted out and back on the track mid 27.

Kondo’s dad fixed my ruptured patella tendon and subsequent surgeries. Wonder if they have him on the books now

You mean Lav the bloke who didn’t play more than 10 games in any of his first 6 seasons on the list? The lesson here is that players can go from injury prone to durable if we are patient enough. Unfortunately like many, our patience is wearing thin.

Yes, that guy. First half of last year aside, he barely missed a game after being repurposed as a backman. Playing good footy right now in a team with structure and system. I’m sure he misses being part of an under siege Essendon defence.

So yeah, the curse is not gonna be getting lifted any time soon…

He did but was the graft done right? I don’t know. And we’re he and the club pushing it too much?

Was really looking forward to seeing this bloke take the field again. Must be absolutely devastated.

Do you know something here WD or just speculating?

ACLs are notorious for re-injury, we aren’t the only club to have that happen. How many operations did Alex Johnson and Daniel Menzel have? There was a young player for the Dees who did his ACL for the second time on the weekend. It happens a lot.
