Ash Hansen + pick 23 for Bombers pick 10?

[silver_and_sand]

Considering Essendon lost Matthew Lloyd, should West Coast offer them premiership forward Ashley Hansen + their pick 23 in exchange for Essendon pick 10, bearing in mind that the Bombers have just acquired pick 16 in exchange for Lovett?

He's 26 years old, so he's still got 4 to 5 playing years ahead of him. He played in both the 2005 and 2006 grand finals. West Coast won all of the 14 games he played in in 2006. If traded to Essendon he'd be playing most of his games indoors at Etihad, which should make his kicking at goals more accurate and he was originally recruited from Oakleigh U18's, so being Victorian, he wouldn't be a flight risk, like Judd.

That makes me feel sick, let alone an Essendon supporter

 

[dave_27]

LMAO. No chance.

Yes the champion that is Ash Hansen would easily get game time ahead of Neagle and Gumbleton...like we may as well trade them to West Coast with pick 10 if we're gonna get Hansen... Just put him in the goal square, what else do you need?

 

[B-Bomber]

Knights has been on record that he doesn't want to play a major role in trade period and wants to back in the players already drafted -- I take this to mean that if he was to trade for another experienced player it would be to pick up someone to take up Lovett's role as he was a player that was not expected to be leaving this year (where as we've been planning for Lloyd and Lucas to leave in the next year or so for a while and have therefore drafted accordingly).

Highly unlikely that essendon would go for that especially with Hurley showing he can be effective both forward and back and Hooker showing he could take CHB instead of Hurley.

Is this a serious post? I doubt Essendon would take Hansen even if they could get him for free.

Sure this could be a joke, perhaps a troll or maybe just an innocent suggestion.

Fact is the trade is incredibly one sided.

They would need at lest two first round picks to snare Ash Hansen.

precisely, essendon just cant afford him. he will be pushing for AA next year, and it will be at the eagles.

Just been at Subi with John Woosha cartwheeling around the ground. Maybe this is why

Prescisely.

Will vindicate our choice of holding onto him for all these years and return to his rightful place as one of the premier CHF's of the competition.

You have a future in comedy.

The only way to make this fair is:

Essendon - Hansen, Pick 7
West Coast - Pick 10

Think about it!

[pacemaker]

Maybe essendon can draft another 27yo from the pre-season draft
