Fitzroy (VFL)

A defender, Hayes came to Fitzroy from Warracknabeal.[2] Hayes captained Fitzroy for most of the 1966 VFL season, replacing Ralph Rogerson, who retired five rounds into the year.[3]

On 6 July 1963, playing as first rover, he was a member of the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.

Yarrawonga

He then moved to Yarrawonga, a club which he would captain-coach.[4]
