Bayes, a recruit from Jordanville, made five league appearances for Richmond.[2] [3] He played three games late in the 1985 VFL season, then just one more in each of the next two years.[3]

While playing for Barooga, Bayes was the Murray Football League leading goal-kicker in the 1991 season.[4] It was the second time he had topped 100 goals in a season, after doing so in 1989, when his total was bettered by Darren Jackson of Finley.[4]
