Hansen pulled down 8 marks and kicked 2 goals in the 2006 Grand Final, played an under rated part in the win that day.

He was injured a lot, but he straightened the team and gave them a much needed focal point at CHF when he was there.

He had a very high footy IQ as well, killed by unjuries.

Hansen was BOG in the first quarter of the Grand Final.

Sat next to Ash Hansen at a Pearl Jam concert. Was pale as buggery.

At least we know he has good taste in music.

Speaking of music, RIP Jerry Lee Lewis. Had some great hits back in my younger days.

And I thought I was old, most of his hits were in the fifties. How are things in the nursing home?

Cheeky, but you are right, likely I am the oldest dude around here. I used to get my kicks by doing the twist. I go back aways.

‘I can’t trust anybody in this system’: AFL review into concussion study leaves players and experts disappointed

Scientists question the panel’s finding that Paul McCrory’s plagiarism did not contribute to his reputation as a world expert

“It was the AFL itself that determined the scope of the matters to be reported upon and it is, despite the undoubted independence of the authors, another version of the AFL playbook, which is to mark its own homework.”

When I saw the news I thought they meant Jerry Lewis, and I was like "didn't he die years ago?"

Yes, yes he did.

The Hawthorn racism "investigation" will be no different.

 

[Truckosaurus]

The Hawthorn racism "investigation" will be no different.

Which is why the families wanted an independent investigation, and why there should have been one.

It’s grim but…

Prior to the AFLW such a stat wasn’t possible as the AFL clubs and their respective reserves sides played less than 50 games combined

The AFLW played two seasons this year so take either of those out and the stat doesn’t exist

But yes, it’s a ****ing horrible look

In contrast Melbourne recorded 51 wins 1 draw not including finals as the only club with 50 victories

 

[Dark Sharks]

I may be wrong... but given we're likely never going to have another year where there's 2 AFLW seasons... this record will now never be broken?

 

[Cuzz09]

yet if Melbourne's women side don't win the flag both clubs will have zero flags in 2022

"Useless stats" is incredibly accurate.

 

[Forward Press]

West Coast are the only men's AFL club with 'West' in the title to not play in any of the last four Grand Finals.

I saw a version of that and thought we’d just come to the same conclusion, but yeah they’ve copied my layout and everything
