Past #6: Lachlan Hansen - pick 3 '06 - 151 NM games - NM life member - thanks Lachie

[Firestarter]

29, with potential, seems too soon for someone at the NMFC.

Thanks for the memories, big unit.

I miss Leigh Adams...

Family favourite due to connections. Stupidly courageous at times. Always felt due to injury we never saw his best. Congrats on the career Lachie.

I cant get that image out of my head.
One because it was Vickery.
Two because it was Lachy.
Three because it was a final.
Four because it was the Punt Rd end.
Five because we could all see it happening from the Olympic Stand.
And six all of the above.

It was the quintessential 'car accident'.

Horrible, but couldn't look away.

A lot of people in here have a very different view of Lachie Hansen to me. Courageous? Give me a break. Uncoordinated more like it. We persisted with him for too long. Good riddance.

 

[XU1-ROO]

Cheers Lachy. Should be at the top of his game at 29. Hopefully he gets another gig.

My enduring memory of Lachie Hansen.







Fearless

Excellent commentary by Dennis on the mark against Collingwood
Glad Dennis has ****ed off

Up there with his commentary of Harpers goal against the Tigers.

Sprinted forty meters, never taking his eyes off the ball, no idea what was coming the other way.

A lot of people in here have a very different view of Lachie Hansen to me. Never really had it in my opinion. We persisted with him for too long. Good riddance.

Terrible way to see a great Shinboner out the door.

Injury stuffed him when he was career peaking and dominating in the air.

Best of luck Gold Loogie.

RIP

 

[Twinkletoes]

Loved yelling out "THE GENERAL!" as he pulled down intercept marks galore.

You'll be missed big fella.

Long live Loogie Hensons, you magnificent bastard!

Pot kettle black

 

[Gasometer]

His milestone game this year didnt do justice to the past few years.



Good luck No 6!

Best wishes to the laconic one. A true North Melbourne person.

 

[KangaFan35]

True shinboner who always put his body on the line. I'm sad to see him go, thanks for everything Lachie!

 

[Hatchy1992]

Had the pleasure of meeting him twice, and having a picture with him on both occasions, and a conversation on one of those occasions. Genuine down to earth bloke with a laid back attitude.

Will always be one of my modern day favourite shinboners. Good luck to the bloke wherever he ends up!

A bit sad to see the Gippsland boy go, felt like he never quite hit his potential but still a great contributor both on and off the field. Terrific bloke in person, sense of humour and enjoyed a chat. I'm not worried about his future, there are millions of acres of grass that need mowing back in Gippsland! Thanks Lachy!!
BTW Kerry (who organised the BF Player Sponsorship for years) was a player sponsor of Lachy and she will be pretty sad to see him go as well.

Don't post much but wanted to say.....thanks Lachy you are a lovely genuine fella. Please come to Werribee....we luv ya!

A touch understated is your third post in nine years Reckon he'll get a gig in the AFL somewhere.

 

[boneofshin]

Every time the wind misuses the word laconic, I'll think of him

 

[Benno_900]

Thanks for the memories, the laughs and numerous broken remote controls!

Hope you get picked up again, Lachy!

 

[Rooboy 96]

True shinboner who always put his body on the line. I'm sad to see him go, thanks for everything Lachie!

could not have said it better, Cheers Lachie.

 

[Samsquanch]

The end was pretty clear when he was turned inside out by Ty Vickery.

To be fair, Ty didn't have a ****ing clue which way he was going to turn either. He was probably just as stunned as Lachy and the crowd were.

A lot of people in here have a very different view of Lachie Hansen to me.

That's true. A lot of people do.

 

[RHLK]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

Good bloke, Lachie. First player I'd ever grabbed a photo with.
