WILL Hayes

As the Blues' standout VFL-listed player so far this season in the state-league competition, Hayes has swapped the Carlton Reserves for the team's AFL list ...

“He’s a smart footballer and he knows how to find the Sherrin, as we’ve seen for the Carlton Reserves this season. “It’s a testament to not only Will, but also Daniel O’Keefe and all those involved with the VFL program. Despite combining his time as a VFL footballer with his work at Flemington Racecourse, Hayes’ commitment to his football was reflected in his early-season performances with the Carlton Reserves side, and it has now resulted in him getting the chance to write another chapter with his football journey.
