@crashlander, why didn’t Hayes play on Saturday ?
He was emergency I think…

Indeed he was. I am not sure about his availability: perhaps he was uncertain as to whether he was available.
Or maybe because we had so many listed players?

I don't know, I can merely conjecture. I just know that his presence would make a considerable difference to such a young side. I don't think any of the other VFL guys is older than 22: both McMahon and Ramshaw both mentioned it.

I think Hayes lives in rural Vic and he is involved in the family business (racing) so he has trouble getting to games. I think that why he walked away from the game in the past

His brother runs the family farm near Euroa, Lindsay Park, I think they have another down Warrnambool / Portland way, they are based at Flemington I think. He use to ride track work, maybe he still does.

If a thoroughbred stallion doesn't scare you nothing on an AFL field will!

Rob Monahan is no where near VFL level and needs to play at lower levels. He's got good physical attributes but has no idea.

If he cant figure it out after two pre seasons he will never figure it out.

Comes back to talent identification and identifying Irish fellas that can transition to AFL takes another level of skill.
Out blokes have had difficulty identifying locals lads let alone the Irish ones.

If you play high level Gaelic you must have an idea, but it's usually the Hurling crew who take to the physicality better.
