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

[Saintly_]

Certainly no questioning his courage and always appeared a great guy around the club.

Unlike others though off I doubt he will be picked up, good luck to him if he does.

 

[B4Bear]

Thanks for your service Lachie, you will be missed.

 

[discodaddy]

150 games is a bloody good career. Thanks Lachie, and all the best for your next phase in life.

 

[pupstar]

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.

how many games did you play for the roos again i forget we could do with one less supporter supporter is probably not the right word supporter

 

[Bigeasy]

Thanks Lachie, you were impossible to hate.

 

[kangaroo7]

Never really lived up to his potential. Should have made a far greater impact with a body like that.Lucky to have survived this long. A bit of a disappointment.

 

[Firestarter]

He'll be a local hero if only for one game in particular.

 

[Tas]

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

I don't post much either. :stern look

 

[shinboner magic]

Lachie the hopes were high when you came - you may not of lived up to the potential but there can't be any ill spoken of you.
The laconic one that had no fear when it was his turn to go.

Lots of love for the mowman

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

You had a great set of hands, and played 150 odd games more than I ever will

Well aren't you a little ray of ****ing sunshine.

Well aren't you a little ray of ******* sunshine.

Probably Vickery posting.

360 graphic saying he's retired, not the line of "we're not offering a new deal". Did I miss that? Thought he might have something to give at some other clubs.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Thanks Lachie and good luck

Could do the mercenary Fev post career path.

Yarrawonga Pigeons.

 

[RobZombie]

Anyway. I'll miss him. But the writing was on the wall this year. So glad he got to 150 and life membership. Hope he gets another gig. Reckon a couple of sides could make use of him.

Wouldn't surprise me.
Ongoing concussion problems, bad hips.
Has a 2 or 3 year old iirc as well as a newborn.
The timing is right for him to retire given we won't offer him another contract.

Train once or twice a weak, play local on the weekend, mow lawns another one or two days. Plenty of time to help around the home with the little ones too. Sounds quite a nice life tbh, assuming he set himself up well with his income. Hell, might just give up footy together, live the life of a laid back gardener doing the rounds.

 

[Forever North]

He looked like a decent player whenever he played with intensity. Just seemed to mostly enjoy being paid to be an AFL footballer though. A 6/10 career.

 

[B4Bear]

WTF?

People potting any player on retirement are a bunch of soft**** flogs, much less a 150 game life member of the club.

**** me, but the quality of posters has taken a nosedive into the cesspit of shite this year.

Yeah and I don't want the company.

 

[ferball]

Cheers Loogie.

That twirl GR posted was one of my fave moments of the last decade or so of footy. Just brilliant.

All the best whatever you do.

 

[Groin guru]

I remember when i first saw his recruitment picture and thought "WTF have we done?"



Grew to love lachie. How can you not? Genuinely think he would have been an elite swingman had injury not robbed him of his mobility. Had an elite engine for a big man. I hope his multiple concussions don't impact his future. The changerooms will be poorer without him. I'll never forget this footage (genuine lol's when i saw it happen):

A little harsh don't you think for a bloke who played 151 games in the royal blue and white
I agree he didn't live up to his potential, perhaps NMFC got his recruitment value wrong..Perhaps we supporters expected to much.
But give the guy a break and some respect.
151 games is still a decent career and if he was as bad as you claim he would of never had a 10 year plus career.

All the best Lachie! Thanks for your service and I'm pretty sure that someone will offer another 2 years for some depth on their list!!

 

[King Hansen]

all the best lachie. Good north man
