I think he can play. Seen him in the VFL and was impressed with his reading of the game. Good luck Lewis!

I was thinking the same about Frsncis being the best match up for Hayes. Go well young man you have earned it.

Shiel being selected.
Shiel being prioritised ahead of Tsatas.
McKay not being dropped.
Prior not being dropped.
SEH not being selected.
Johnson languishing at VFL level.
Menzie being select.
Davey Jnr not getting games.
Hobbs being named sub.

Thereā€™s never a shortage. You just need to actually try.

No discernible game plan.
Our terrible percentage.
The terrible up coming results as we hit a difficult part of the draw.
Geelong getting every player they want.

Just wait til Francis kicks 6 on him.

939

kind of funny how Jordan Ridleys dad scouted Hayes.

And now heā€™s debuting in replacement of Jordan Ridley.

Knowing Sir Francis that will be 0.6 - 6.

941

Francis will be gassed by half way through the 2nd quarter.

This is going to be a very interesting debut. I presume heā€™s most likely going to get a run at this, at least a few weeks before thereā€™s a chance of any other structure being considered.

Some guys can look just ok in the VFL but given the bigger stage can be more impressive. Would love to see him grab the chance and claim a scalp or two in his stint. I wouldnā€™t hold it against him if he gets towelled up now and then too, part of the learning process.

Then we can move him to the wing just to see how he goes.

I just saw that. Itā€™s difficult to believe how you can have a reaction like that to a 2k, especially if youā€™re playing high level footy.

The previous Fletcher got elevated much quicker.

I doubt Brad Scott will understand the need for Lewis to start the game in the ruck (versus Fark Carlton!), and then never again play there.
