Player Watch #46: Robert Hansen Jnr - Extends to End 2025

[DesertRoo]

Definitely!
Small forwards have been an area we've neglected for far too long. We have Curtis as the Lindsay Thomas type, who doesn't play as a traditional small.
Brought Payne in who hasn't had a pre-season yet, so can't really judge him. We'll most likely take River Stevens and another in the draft (maybe your man Cooper Alger).

Leaves one spot for Drury, Cooper and RHJ. Drury's work ethic will count in his favour, but probably has the fewest physical tools.
Pretty tight at the moment, all 3 have to make every post a winner of the last few weeks.

Wouldn’t even be surprised to hear if Phillips has been asked to drop some weight, become more mobile and start playing that role either.

Not a bad call actually, looked dangerous inside 50 at times yesterday.
Especially as he'll find mid time hard to come by.

He’s patience and got a great kick inside 50 too, could maximise his benefits and minimise his biggest weakness at present.

I think y’all being a tough in the kid, I’m pretty happy with most of what he’s shown so far, another preseason and more match experience to build his confidence and I think by this time next year we’ll all be singing his praises. I do think he has something special about him we’ve only seen glimpses so far but it’ll come

Oh ffs. He’s rubbish. Why do our fans do this with every player on our list.

He’s scared of contact, can’t win a contested possession, doesn’t get the ball, he barely tries, doesn’t do anything notable, isn’t that fast, doesn’t have elevated goal sense..

He should be one of the first ones delisted at the end of the season.

Phillips is not quick or zippy enough for a small fwd role imo.

He’s a “link player” I think - his strengths are likely vision and decision making.

He’s been good today, hope he’s ok after that tackle.

Boom, boom, tish.

I've said this before but this kid will make it.

Has a bit of LT about him.

 

[WinterRoos]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a player.


A very raw player but there's one in there.

Yeah I hope we keep playing him, he has good game sense, pace and neat skills. But I'm sure the majority of sensible types see that he's half in and half out of many contests, paces himself to the speed of the current play.

Once he has the confidence I'm positive he'll but the foot down and become a dangerous type for us.

I’ve been saying it for ages.
Must persist

 

[muttley45]

Well done Robbie, copped a knock laying a tackle for the team, got hurt a bit, but still going out there, the experience will be invaluable moving forward, i'm sure Clarko will let him know it was appreciated.

 

[CURVE]

That was his best half of footy, even though he missed almost half of it, but I'm still not entirely convinced. But what I have seen today has been positive.

 

[giantroo]

What a tackle!

 

[Ligma]

I LOVE YOU

 

[My Left Foote]

A lot of posters writing him off after last week, glad the club sees things differently, there’s a player there give him another year.

 

[koshari]

quieter in the 2nd half but very lively in the first, like it or not he is the only think we have even close to a small creative forward and his highlight on the day was saving a certain goal!

 

[Disco Dew]

Shouldn’t have been subbed out

 

[bennymate]

BOBBY DAZZLER, potentially has a pulse?

 

[krakouers]

What a tackle!

You took your time…
But thank you

 

[nelroo]

Wrong call to sub him today I think. Unless he was gassed? Today is the best he has looked. He has very quick hands in close I have noticed. Must keep pumping games into him. I hope he believes in himself and has a massive pre season.
