This was a fill in while there was no football but we might as well finish assessing our list.
We can evaluate each player on our list starting with the highest number Lin Jong down to Matthew Suckling.
The poll will run for a week and when your post in the poll if you can give a reason on your thoughts so we can share your insights.
At the end we'll see how our list looks in the eyes of WOOF members.

A few stats:
Age : 25
Height: 181cm
Weight: 77Kg
Games: 9

Another success story of the Bulldogs' VFL program, Will Hayes arrived at the Kennel with pick 78 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft. Hayes capped off an outstanding 2018 VFL season, winning the Footscray Bulldogs’ Best and Fairest. The 23-year old midfielder maintained a consistently high standard of performance in 2018, culminating in selection on the wing in the VFL Team of the Year. He ranked second in the VFL in the same season for total uncontested possessions (16 per game) and third for total inside-50s. After five years of hard work at VFL level, earned an AFL debut in Round 5, 2019 against Carlton. Hayes had two stints in the senior team, playing nine matches - including the Elimination Final against GWS Giants - and impressing with his hard-running work-rate. The 24-year-old midfielder-forward slotted in seamlessly, averaging more than 15 disposals per game in his maiden AFL season.

I'm not Hayes' biggest fan, but think he has a role to play in our side at the moment.

We could still do with more run, particularly in transitioning from D50 to F50 and he can help in that regard.

I said he needs more time to get use to the pace of the game and to hone his decision making skills.

Has shown some attributes of an AFL player and is useful backup for injuries and such. I don't believe he is in the best 22 at this stage.

Clearly a depth player, but one who can contribute when the opportunity arises.
