Hayes posted 35 in the MCG draw against Hawthorn — slightly above his 32 average in a tight contested arm-wrestle, and he was still doing his crumbing work. But he's been dropped for R9 to make room for returning big names — Pendlebury, Howe, McCreery all back in means the depth squeeze is real. He'll fight to regain selection but you can't hold a FWD rookie through an omission. Sell now and recycle the cash.
