Hayes Ready To Return

Popular Saints DT midfielder Lenny Hayes is likely to return just in time for the fantasy Grand Final.

Hayes missed the weekend's loss to North Melbourne as a late withdrawal.

The Saints midfielder said, "I’ll be right next weekend. I had a little bit of illness later in the week so I was probably a little bit touch and go up until the start of the game."

Luke Ball also might be a chance of a recall after good VFL form.

Hayes added, "He showed some good form for Sandy so I would like to see him back in the team but that’s not my decision. We’ll wait and see what happens at selection."
