Bio
The son of legendary horse trainer David Hayes, Will Hayes carved out his own sporting path as a mature-age recruit who forced his way onto an AFL list through sheer weight of numbers at VFL level. After claiming the 2018 Best and Fairest for Footscray, he was drafted by the Western Bulldogs and deployed primarily as a hard-running outside midfielder capable of covering significant ground. Despite his prolific ball-winning ability in the reserves, Hayes struggled to cement a regular spot in the Bulldogs' deep engine room, leading to his delisting after three seasons. He was handed a lifeline by Carlton in the 2022 Mid-Season Draft following strong form for the Blues' state league affiliate, adding two senior games to his tally before a suspension for a dangerous tackle effectively ended a brief second chance at the top level.
