EB what sort of role would Hayes likely fill? Is he purely a midfielder? If so, hard to see how he breaks into the team when you've got Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy etc. Or is he more of an outside sort that could play on the wings? Even then, we seem to have a number of options for that as well....question is whether he's a better option than everything we've already got?
Where we seem to be short of options is key defender and ruck. Support for Weitering is basically Young, McDonald and McGovern. If I'm a betting man then it's odds on that McDonald and McGovern will get injured again before the season is out....leaving only Young. And he might now be required to play in the ruck if Pittonet is out for an extended period.
I would've thought those would be the two positions we'd be addressing at the mid-season draft? Even last year, Boyd was a player where we already seemed to have enough options and selecting him seemed strange at the time?
