It's truly awful photo isn't it?

I just saw the billboard poster - not great. But there's a tv ad (I saw it on SBS On Demand) that is truly woeful.

Can't stand him

 

[Ticky009]

Strange that he delisted rather than given the chance to announce his retirement. Surely he's not expecting another club to pick him up at age 33.

I thought so too. You would have thought they'd let him announce it but it if not then it would indicate he wants to play on. Strange given he's 33 yrs old.

Cats cut 7 players and did it in one whack! I don't mind that. Ours always seems to come out in dribs and drabs.

You got voices in your head again, Bedders?

Hanners is an absolute legend.

Probably one for the unpopular opinions thread but I wish we'd given him an opportunity to finish his career as a Swan when he approached us at the end of 2022.

He was not in a good space at the time and had to get out of Melbourne

He was not in a good space at the time and had top get out of Melbourne

Maybe in hindsight it was best for him that we didn't. Managed to get his life back in order so perhaps kicking the can down the street for a couple of years may not have had the same outcome for him.

He's one of my all time favourite players so would have loved to see him run around for us again. Has a lot of heart and determination as well.

Just glad he's doing well now.

Hanneberry can still talk underwater! The Foghorn Leghorn of the AFL. Good natured guy.

So good to see him doing well! He was in a pretty dark place at that point by the sounds of it. Seems to be getting back involved with the club a bit more too.

Always will be one of my favourite players - just wish a few of the blokes we have now would adopt his 'leave it all out there at 100 miles an hour' approach to footy.

A top bloke to go with it as well.
