#18 Lewis Hayes - thru 2026

I’d be gobsmacked if he didn’t play 200

In one season?

He should be playing in front of Lav, and when he is sore or injured than Lav can fill in until Hayes is ready to play again

Guye like Hayes need to beat Lav for his spot

Lav’s own form throughout the season should be enough to see him lose his spot, but Brad loves him an old plodding defender with poor skills

I’d like to see a photo of Hayes and Cox together for reference.

Sounds itchy and uncomfortable

You had to go there, didn’t you.

Hopefully his sooking for a new contract means Brad ■■■■■ him off to the 2s

Lav is not part of our next flag, we need to find the players that are .

The real question is whether any of them have been born yet.

Might as well start with a kid that we used a reasonably high pick on that’s served his time in the VFl.

Preaching to the choir here.
I’ve long been a fan, was really hoping he’d get a chance last year.

Definitely looks to be putting on size well. Still only 19! (20 next month).

I know your in his corner, amazes me that Brad refused to give him a run this year, now with Reid and Ridley back you have to ask when his next opportunity will come.

Yeah if everyone stays fit it’s going to be tough.
Knowing us though there’s definitely going to be opportunities available, just need to actually pick him when the time comes.

I know this won’t be popular but iam happy with the fact they didn’t give him a run last year.
There was no point feeding him too wolves when you could see he wasn’t ready and wasn’t big enough to play

What makes you say he wasn’t ready to be third Banana down back ? We’re you happy that Weid was selected before him ?

No I wasnt bit in hindsight it was the right thing to do.
He wasn’t big enough and there’s no point bringing him in for a smacking to wreck his confidence

Very rare that I disagree with your comments but I reckon your off the mark on this one mate…all good though.

Of course not but if Hayes is not pushing him out by beating him at training he wont get picked ahead of Lav,Lav wont give up his spot easily.

Thing is guys like Lav are smart and tick the boxes during training that gets them picked
