Having a look at the AFL Draft Combine results, his is the top ranked for repeat sprints, has been touted as having elite speed and got 27/30 for the kicking drill. Worth a look?

 

An incredible athlete but has been warned countlessly by his school coaches to harden up.

He's certainly dropped down the rankings this year, he was looked at as being top 10 but now he will be speculative. "Deers" looks to have the reason why, he is a tall skinny kid. Viney will know a lot more about him and whether he is worth a later pick if available, certainly ticks boxes for us, speed and ball use but you do have to get it to use it.

I dont think he is that speculative, maybe somewhere in the second round, later second round ever

very talented athlete.

has been a very quick kid since day one, being very competitive in a state and national level in athletics in his younger years.

I don't know a lot about his footy, but I've been told he is good.


I think he would be a good get for our pick in the 2nd round (approx pick 26). Assume Viney used at pick 3.

Haynes has the pace and athletic ability. Is a very good kick. Just needs 1 or 2 pre seasons. But has the pace that we need.

I think he would be worth it in the 2nd round and speculative is probably the wrong word, he has a lot of good attributes that could see him being a player. It's our history with tall skinny kids (apart from Flower) that muddies the waters.

At the start of season 2011 had someone told me we would pick up Viney, Toumpas and Haynes this draft I would have been happy with that.

While personally I prefer Sam Colquhoun, on the chance that he's taken before our 1st rookie selection I reckon Haynes would be worth a look. Classy outside mid with line breaking ability. If he could commit to putting on some size in the gym he might be worth a punt in the rookie draft and after the 1st year we can make a call.

I think that's right - more an athlete than a footballer. But a good kid who'd pass on character. Can really run.

He goes to school with Jack Viney - so the club will know his strengths and weaknesses


I'd like to think the club would have an idea of his strengths and weaknesses, regardless of weather Viney went to school with him or not..... It would be a shame, if these decision were left to the opinion of new players.....

Does anybody know if the players not taken in the draft can be drafted in the psd? If they can then i hope he slips to us in the rookie draft.....

I would like to see us rookie him. Around this time last year I was wanting us to pick up Toumpas and Haynes in this draft. Haynes has slipped a bit this year but has a big upside. If he has the work ethic to go with his athleticism then he will make it.

We have Toumpas, lets get Haynes.

You are of course correct ......... but a father (Todd) watching a son and his mates play schoolboy footy over the years ( and attending a few B & Fs etc) should be in a better position to make an assessment of things like consistency and team orientation etc than a recruiter who's only seen him play a couple of representative games and interviewed him once...............

It certainly can't hurt 'hoopla'.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
