Bio
Recruited from the Eastern Ranges with pick 25 in the 2022 National Draft, Lewis Hayes is a tall key defender noted for his intercept marking and composure. The younger brother of Port Adelaide ruckman Sam Hayes, he arrived at Tullamarine requiring time to build his physical frame, spending his debut season developing in the VFL. He eventually broke through for his first senior appearance in the final round of the 2024 season against Brisbane, though he has since battled to secure a permanent place in the side. Heading into 2026, Hayes remains a developing prospect adding depth to Essendon's defensive stocks while pushing for greater opportunities at AFL level.
