Jack Hayes: The Target for Collingwood Magpies
Jack Hayes Joins Collingwood's Trade Talks
Jack Hayes is at the center of Collingwood's strategy to strengthen their roster during the AFL trade period. The St Kilda Saints tall, who has faced several injuries, is now a primary target for the Pies looking to inject fresh firepower into their forward line.
Collingwood's Key Interest in Hayes
Mitch Cleary, the chief AFL reporter for 7NEWS, revealed that Hayes has recently undergone a medical examination with Collingwood. As a player who fits the profile for the much-needed key forward and ruck roles, he has emerged as a strong candidate. Cleary stated, "He is one name to keep an eye on over the next nine days. He starts next year as a 28-year-old, so he’s in that prime age group, ready to go."
- Hayes boasts a track record of three goals on his debut.
- In 2022, he polled Brownlow votes in two of six matches played.
- Despite his injury challenges, he remains a promising option for Collingwood.
Barring unforeseen setbacks, this trade period looks to be pivotal for the Pies, with new signings like Harry Perryman already making headlines.
