enjoyed a rocketing start to his career as he became the 11th-youngest player in the AFL era to reach 50 career goals in 2018. The 2016 draftee’s nippy pace and cunning goal awareness have made him a dangerous option in coach John Longmire’s forward line. A broken jaw and a persistent hip injury limited Hayward to just 12 goals in 13 senior games in 2019, but the South Australian is attacking the 2020 campaign on the back of his first full pre-season. Don’t be surprised if the exciting Swan finds himself on a wing this year.

In the form of his life just now. Playing great.

 

[The King!]

It's not a storm in a tea cup , we are signing , or have signed more important players and we won'[t offer 800 for a part time player

lol

take it off tom

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

25 y/o medium forward who can kick a bag and apply relentless pressure.

Yep let’s trade him to another contender and then read pages of everyone crying about how we leak best-22 players every year.

Sounds fun.

Did you miss the memo.
“We can’t have them all”!

 

[kelpie_X]

Greats are players like Paul Kelly , Hayward is a good AFL player

How droll and semantic

The latest from The Hun

Carlton might have to pony-up $5 million to secure Sydney free agent Will Hayward

, given the price for the medium-sized forward is likely to hit $800,000 a season.
It was reported this week the Blues will offer Hayward a six-year deal, after the Herald Sun reported in March he would put talks on hold with multiple suitors.

Port Adelaide is keen to lure him across the border so with the bidding war fierce, Carlton might need to offer a deal of $750,000-$800,000 a year over six years to get him to move south. It would result in an end-of-first-round compensation pick for Sydney.

Trade him.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Our leading goal scorer btw.

Trade him.

If he keeps his current form up, he will be AA and worth every last cent of the Carlton offer. We will literally have no choice but to match the offer.

How droll and semantic

Truth hurts does it

 

[bedford]

Really good effort last night , but even he said after the game he was lucky and good on him , this is what we want

He said he was lucky with the goals he kicked (and to an extent he was, though being on the end of a run-in goal indicates a player is running hard). I thought his work rate and pressure around the ground was as impressive as his contribution on the scoreboard.

He is sort of a very unique player in the AFL in his current role and his hard running abilities, his marking prowess for his size, his defensive work. Goal scoring ability despite his detractors.
A very unique player.

 

[Swannie0307]

I wasn’t Wilbur’s biggest fan … more so because he’s highly talented and has all the attributes, but IMO wasn’t playing consistently well, and was often making bad decisions on the field.

But it’s easy to be converted if he keeps producing efforts like he has in recent weeks… here’s hoping he can continue this form and help play a big role in the Swans having a deep run in the finals.

 

[Tedeski]

He worked very hard to get back for those goals.
Even Will admitted each of the 4 were from hard work by team mates.
I'm sure we have a 4 year offer in front of him at maybe 650-700K.

 

[Dan87]

Looking forward to seeing the get rid of him campaign maintain their energy. Justifying to move on the leading goal scorer

Be sure to hydrate

Just lock this guy up

 

[Dubsforsam1]

Top goal scorer, 6th highest tackler and people are happy if he goes

Dont know how credible, but a Blues poster saying Hayward has no interest in going to them

 

[tombomb]

Regardless of what happens, the club is in a pretty good position.

Hopefully he stays, but we should now be matching any deal for Will unless it is completely ridiculous money that is unmatchable.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Breakout year ?

BUMP. I called it on December 23.
