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

[DarwinRoo]

Deserves a 10 year deal if Zurhaar can get a 5 year deal.

 

[koshari]

Won't be devastated if we don't offer him a new contract.

But as of now there is little competition for the small forward spot on the roster, a likely put him clear of drury who had similar numbers in the magoos, cooper a distant 3rd.

 

[CURVE]

I thought he was good today, but that run down the far wing where he could outrun his opponent was the final straw for me. Small forwards need to have speed and if he doesn't, he shouldn't be on our list.

 

[Kciza]

It feels like this is his ceiling. Meh

Most get it done with agility, paply for example is no jet.

Bob was in all the good spots our CHF should have been. Ball was continually kicked on top of his head it seemed.. Teakle or Zurharr, were no were near it

Look to me he had nothing ahead to kick to, stopped to go inboard but was covered so had to restart and dump the kick.
One of the few players who can get separation and have some closing speed.

That was my thoughts as well, zero options upfield which is an enditement. If your seeing bobby or kerch taking 2 bounces the forwards should be on their skates not flatfooted.

Very good point

 

[amaz199]

In the first quarter he was the only forward that looked dangerous. Which was then the case for the rest of the game.

An MSD pick, finding his straps, was better than blokes with 50+ games already.

That shouldn't happen. He should be contributing not the one leading the way ffs.

Just watched it on the replay 100% true.

 

[CBSlogger]

Watching him live today, it was the first time I saw a player in him.

Has improved steadily since coming in, happy if he got another year to continue that growth.

 

[muttley45]

I actually gave him a vote today, leading goalkicker in that shitshow, definitely persist with him

 

[chubbspeterson]

He shows some good signs, kicked two goals, fine if they give him another year.
But the lack of elite speed and competitiveness/campaigner in him might be his issue that sees him gone.
Small forwards have to enjoy hunting or hurting the opposition and burying them in tackles. He doesn't quite do that.
Not sure you can coach that in a player. We'll see what happens.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Kid is only 20. Another preseason and a bit more muscle and he can impact contests. I think he is just getting used to the pace and is getting into the game more.

 

[The Dingrel]

Good small forwards make the most of limited opportunities, and no-one can deny Robbie did that today. Can see he gets himself in good position, growing in confidence, and the coaches can clearly see something there to keep giving him a run of games. Seems a really good kid, and would love to see him prove the doubters wrong.

WTF? What player ever is at their best at 20?

Aidee mcadam?

was at the game they were kicking to him like he was a 200 cm target was bizarre

 

[Errol Street]

should have had 3, didnt set the work on fire but was ok compared to the other rubbish playing for us up forward!

 

[amaz199]

Give him another year. Should not be delisted because of the horrific ball use.

 

[Harris 10]

Self belief is one of the biggest obstacles he’ll face.

 

[Ischenko]

Persist.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Feels like the run of selection was the coaches saying "Here is a length of rope, fashion yourself a noose, or a lifeline. Show us why you should stay".

Reckon he's done enough to stick around.
