Draft Review 2008 - Re-do the 2008 draft

[TheWhiteRhino]

If you don't have Hannebery in your top 3 you simply have no idea.

Arguably he's achieved the most of any player from the draft to date, his courage and running ability is already well recognised around the league, he has captain written all over him and the season after he stepped up and took centre stage on GF day, he pulls out his best season to date.

Silky skills are overrated - give me character and guts every day of the week.

His off field behaviour - the papers might not write about it but the club would know - and arrogance will keep him from being captain.

arrogance? I just see someone who loves his club

His character and competitive nature is what makes him such a good player

His work rate and courage on the field are top notch, but his dickhead personality off the field isn't typical of good, disciplined leaders like McVeigh and Jack.

I seen Hannebery up in Sydney. He accidentally bumped me and knocked my beer out of my hand. He went and brought me another one though even though I told him not to worry. But he came across as a very nice person.

what dickhead personality? give me examples

he seems like a much loved bloke within the club and well respected outside the club

I've just heard from people who've met him that he rates himself very highly. And he's well known for "enjoying the Sydney night life". I think he and Buddy will get along just fine.

So in other words you have jack all to go off of then

My cousins have met him in person at the fan day and said he was the nicest bloke they've ever talked too. Some of the other blokes were a little over the whole fan day thing while they were there, but Hanneberry was in amongst it and loving being able to spend time with everyone.

I've heard similiar stories to cotter101 as well.

I admit, between the BDO Van incident and the eggs, he has a bit of a record, but I'd still take him top 3 in this drfat or any other, and thats the argument here

 

[cotter101]

Hannebery is an absolute jet, no doubt. I'd personally rank him third or maybe fourth.

From the sounds of it I'm going off exactly as much as you are: anecdotes.

He is absolutely a very good player, no questioning that, and he's not so poorly behaved that he's a liability like Dustin Martin or such an unpleasant character that people hate being on the same team as him or anything; he's just probably not captain material as someone else suggested.

 

[RobbyRoy]

Have also met Hannebery out and found him to be a top bloke.

I would look at the people that speak this rubbish after a 30 second meeting. They would have a bigger question mark on their character than Hannebery.

It is more often than not tall poppy syndrome and jealousy that people make stupid comments about someone they don't know. Only a fool would believe and then post this rubbish.

Come again for big fudge?

 

[SizeMatters]

not to sound rude or anything but why is everyone over rating Motlop? He played had a handful of good games this year and the previous years he was crap. I'd have Redden clearly ahead of him who has been performing well for 3 years straight.

I think Hurley is over rated and has been very disappointing but he should make it into the top 30.

Yeah I've been wondering about that too. I would have thought there are at least 10 or so ahead of him. Wondering if I am missing something with him

I suppose saying that he has a bad attitude was out of line, but his weekend activities are well known. They may not be an indictment on his personality, however someone who partakes in the activities in that he does is probably not a great role model for younger players.

 

[cotter101]

I also think Motlop has been getting overrated. Really only stepped up this year. But he needs to learn to deal with the close attention. Yeo absolutely toweled him up this year.

Have you seen him or is your info from your next door neighbours, niece who thought she may or may not have seen someone that may or may not have been Hanners partying hard in Kings Cross?

I haven't subjected him to a drug test or stumbled upon him downing pingers on the street if that's what you're asking. I've simply heard from multiple people about it. It's possible they're lying. I doubt that though. You don't need to believe me. I'm sure the club knows what's going on, whatever that is, and I think they'll choose someone Luke Parker to take over the captaincy rather than Hannebery. No need to get in such a huff - this was just a tangential point.

My kids are looking forward to Santa climbing down the chimney in 23 day’s time and delivering their Christmas presents. Multiple people have told my kids that this will happen if they are good. It’s possible they are lying.

Sometimes made up things are easy to believe because it sounds really exciting and people/kids are gullible.
