They did get handy player in Bolton. Anyway the point is they had no rights on him. Both those players werent taken by about 7 other clubs either. He isnt really like someone who actually was tied to the club.BigMart wrote:He was a local lad and right under their noses the morrish medallist.....
What they'd give to have the 99 draft back....mcveigh and Hayes from pennant hills........450 plus afl games

I think that means he had somewhat of a tie to the club.
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
Go Sainters !!!!!

They had the right to everyone with pick 3 (fosdike) 4 (Fitzgerald) and 8 (Bolton) .... And yes other teams did too....
Point was, the overlooked two kids from their backyard who went on to play 200plus afl games...in Lenny s case a bonafide champion who was the morrish medallist leading into that draft.....they got it wrong...in hindsight..

I would have thought that the fact he played one game with the swans reserves (1998) that they had some connection to him. I am not sure but would think that the swans would have to have put in some sort of paperwork with the afl to allow player to play even one reserves game. My memory tells me that the swans considered him too slow. Lenny has to be one that went our way..... Probably the best one!!!
Don't see how anyone would disagree, but then again when has logic played any bearing on saintsational.....
however they didn't have any official ownership on him

Logic also suggests they had no more right to him than any other side no matter what paperwork was given to the AFL. Sensational has nothing to do with it, it is more about fact. He certainly was given no indication that they would draft him.supersaints wrote:skeptic wrote:Me thinks the Lenny Hayes question is confused slightly by the fact that IIRC, Sydney reported around draft time that Lenny was too slow to make it - as they took mostly Sydney boys, that made him somewhat of a turned down proposistion
