I mean, just have a look at him!

Embarrassment.

Missing a 'High 10'

Get rid of

Hansen is probably the only one capable of running to provide an option across half back and then work his way back up forward to provide a lead, and do it for 4 quarters. That is why he was taken at pick 3. Plus he has very good hands in a mark. Don't worry that he has been dropping them lately, that's not something you loose. He's just out of form

Did he cut your lunch or something dude?

 

[Jack Reacher]

A Kenyan can also run all day, doesnt mean he can do anything with a footy, if i hear the words "big tank" "decoy" "good hands" once more..........fair dinkum.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Did he cut your lunch or something dude?

His grass.

I'm guessing he did a poor job.

 

[Jack Reacher]

I wonder if B.Scott will have the minerals to play Black in lieu of Hansen!?!?!?! Would make a nice change.

well it is still duck season.

N
It's the number one reason Scott initially brought in the Triple Towers and highlights just how important it is that one of Hansen/Tarrant/Daw kicks on and becomes a B+ 40 goal a year player. It would free up Petrie immensely.

I liked the previous twin towers

I don't think laconic means what you think it does.

 

[Saintly31]

Probably about time to give the Hansen threads a rest.

If he is elevated above other players it naturally follows he will be commented upon more.

Just let him play and let his footy do the talking.

You're right, we've had a discussion about this once before in some thread or other.

Somewhere along the line in Australia it has come to mean "laid back", rather than "using few words".

Some discussion of the change in meaning here:

Personally, I think it probably was used to describe typical Australian men of the 19th century in that they were men of few words, but gradually got confused with another attribute perceived as being quintessentially Australian at the time, being laid back and relaxed. Neither probably rightly applies any more.

Thank you Charlie. Quite interesting.

Why?

Was he there when we selected Hansen over Selwood in 2006?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Why?

Was he there when we selected Hansen over Selwood in 2006?

Was Hansen our head of recruiting?

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Did he cut your lunch or something dude?

Would he even be capable of doing this?

Good to see he has been gifted another game this weekend.

Gonna hurt when Black leaves for greener pastures at the end of the year and we are left with..

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Would have been a conflict of interests wouldn't it?

Sorry I forgot it's everyone elses fault that he is shit

Black should be grateful to the club for being so patient with him. I'd like to see him kick bags in consecutive weeks to demand the nod.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Black should be grateful for not getting a game when he deserves one?

Fantastic

 

[Dan]

I didn't think Hansen was as bad as some are making him out to be. Had a quiet day sure, but he still contested for marks....the opposition defenders had the better of him. Still managed to kick goal.

As Brad has said in past, the forwards are judged as a group, not as individuals. We kick 100+ points does it matter who it comes from?

 

[Daz]

What did you guys think of Stefan Martin's game on the weekend? I thought he contested well. Certainly brought the ball to ground well. Played well in 2010 as well in a different role. Screwed by the coach.

 

[DunderHead]

Send Hansen to the backline. Probably needs a few games in the VFL to get his confidence back but he was made to play back and it brings out the mongrel in him.

Please, Brad. Just do it.
