Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
Persistence pays off, and now he gets his chance to show us he can make it.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
Good luck to Hayes. Would be a great story if he makes it. Picken-like.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
You can feel the hunger of Hayes & Cavarra already. No more complacency about being selected in the 22, work hard or enjoy playing VFL.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
From what I have seen Will seldom fumbles, quick thinker and is a reasonable kick and kind of glides across the ground. Go Hayes-beat the rest by a country mile!! And remember to wear your RWB silks. I think he might do better than quite a few think.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
A reward for hard work. Has been the stand out player in our VFL team over the past 2-3 seasons
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
The son of horse trainer David Hayes.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
And now his brother has been invited down to Footscray (don't remember his name but he's had a couple of years playing vfl for Footscray) to see if he can reignite the passion to get in a senior AFL list.
Another set if brothers at the sibling club!

Correct.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
On the flip side of this story, our VFL team has seen Hannan, Long, Gowers & now Hayes taken into an AFL set up in the last few years. That's a great advertisement and selling point for guys with afl ambitions to join Footscray VFL.

The tall skinny centre half back that was rookied by st Kilda but only lasted a year or two there as well. I can't remember his name.
Re: Welcome to the Senior Bulldogs - Will Hayes
Good luck Will. Hopefully he becomes a good contributor at AFL level.

What it shows is how hard it is to successfully run a senior only team in the AFL. You just dont get to see guys like this up close.

Nick Coughlan; it's a shame because I really liked what he gave Footscray and thought he was a player. Of course I was more worried that GWS would just go dibs since he was from the Riverina and all.

Yeah he was a good player.
