'''Jonathan Hay''' (born 13 August 1979) is a former [[Australian rules football]]er in the [[Australian Football League]]. |
|||
Born in [[Kalgoorlie, Western Australia]], Hay began his football career at Kalgoorlie Catholic Primary School and John Paul College before moving to [[Perth, Western Australia]] in 1991. Hay played reserves football for [[East Fremantle Football Club]] in 1996 before being drafted by [[Hawthorn Football Club]] at the 1996 national AFL draft. |
|||
==Hawthorn career== |
|||
Hay made his debut on a wing in 1997 and was considered a bright young defender with Hawthorn. |
|||
===All-Australian peak=== |
|||
In 2001 he earned [[All-Australian]] selection and was slim, quick and continually kept full-forwards to low scores in a year where the Hawks made a preliminary final. |
|||
===Later Hawthorn career=== |
|||
In 2004, an injury interrupted Hay's season, but he showed some signs of improvement in 2005. He then left the club at the end of the season, and was traded to the Kangaroos. |
|||
==Kangaroos career== |
|||
The Kangaroos gave up one first-round pick for the then-26-year-old Hay. Hay debuted with the Kangaroos in 2006 and made several simple skill errors, with many commentators bemoaning his constant [[turnover (football)|turnovers]] to the opposition and his poor disposal in defence. |
|||
This led to Hay being dropped from the side and playing with [[Tasmanian Devils Football Club|Tasmanian Devils]] on 10 June 2006. It was revealed later that week that Hay had been out drinking before the match, an indication of how seriously he took the game. |
|||
===Depression battle=== |
|||
Hay's fall from grace as a footballer led to the announcement on 28 August 2006 that he suffered from [[bipolar disorder]]. He relapsed in 2006 on the back of his off-field behaviour and poor form.<ref>http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20275806-11088,00.html</ref> |
|||
After disputes over his contract during the 2007 pre-season<ref>[[Caroline Wilson|Wilson, Caroline]], [http://www.realfooty.theage.com.au/articles/2007/02/13/1171128974761.html Roos, Hay in contract wrangle], [[The Age]], 14 February 2007.</ref>, it was announced on the day of the Kangaroos' first [[NAB Cup]] game that Hay would be retiring from the AFL. His contract was paid out in full, despite his acknowledged problems with drugs and alcohol. |
|||
On 29 March 2007, an interview by [[Craig Hutchison]] with Hay was aired on ''[[The Footy Show]]''. Hay said during the interview he wanted the chance to tell Kangaroos supporters and the football public in general the reason for his sub-standard form in his final season, which he cited as not only his bipolar disorder, but his heavy reliance on [[prescription medication]] to treat the disorder. In news reports of the interview, however, the media focused more on Hay's admission of drug use and the suggestion that use was rife in the AFL (in lieu of the then-major story of [[Ben Cousins]]' trip to [[drug rehab]]).<ref>[[Lyall Johnson]], [http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/hay-admits-to-drug-use-early-in-career/2007/03/29/1174761666956.html Hay admits to drug use early in career], [[The Age]], 30 March 2007.</ref> Hay also spoke of a [[stalking|stalker]] who harassed him on a regular basis for several years. His name is Cameron Roberts, a lawyer for Frenkel Partners.<ref>[http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/revealed-the-city-lawyer-who-stalked-troubled-footy-star/2007/04/21/1176697152799.html Revealed: the lawyer who stalked troubled star - realfooty.com.au<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
|||
In October 2008 he announced to make a football comeback 2009 season after signing with suburban club [[Langwarrin]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24494769-5016160,00.html|title=Former Kangaroo Jonathan Hay makes comeback for Langwarrin|publisher=The Daily Telegraph}}</ref> |

- To a disambiguation page: This is a redirect to a disambiguation page. This redirect is intended for use in links from other articles that need to refer to the disambiguation page, rather than be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should only appear on a redirect page that has "(disambiguation)" at the end of its title. Ambiguous titles that do not have page names ending with "(disambiguation)" should use {{R from ambiguous term}} instead. For disambiguations that later prove to still be ambiguous (e.g. "(painter)" when there are multiple notable painters by the same name) and which redirect to disambiguation pages, then {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} is the appropriate rcat template.
This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same personal name. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.
