Has anyone else noticed that the WCE seem to have fallen out of love with him?? I think he would be worth the punt to get back to Victoria. He's young and strong and would give us a CHF for 8-9 years? Thoughts??

    He'd give us HALF a CHF for 8-9 years...

    If he's traded, it'll be for a reason. A guy in his early twenties that can't get a gig in THAT forward line?

    No thanks. I'd rather stick with the mythical Juice...

    pffft juice is shitin me up the wall! hansen creams all over newton and he was oe of the powerhouse forward when they unstoppable! the guy can kick big bags of goals and is a good strong pack mark!

    plus he is a dee supporter too!

    Why would we want another CHF who just leads up the ground and doesn't kick goals?

    We already have Brad Miller.

  • Quote

    There's a reason he hasn't been able to get a game this year... his hamstrings are shot... there's an article on the AFL website. Very little trade value unless they can find a solution.

    Oh wow... That makes sense then...

    Always thought last year he was just about WC most important player.

    Is 198cm, about 100kg and covers the ground pretty well as a hit up CHF

    WCE do not have a forwardline, lets be honest (just a refresher, Steven Armstrong is a pocket over there, enough said!)

    Hansen was capable. WAS capable. He is not an option for us. If a forward cannot get a game in the WCE forwardline, then they will struggle to get a game anywhere else. I remember similar words said about Mc Dougall when he was up for offer, and look what he has done for the doggies...roster filler!

    No thanks!

    Thing is everyone (should) know Hansen can play.

    Just has a pair of dodgy hamstrings

    Every time he plays.... they win. If he misses.....they lose.

    He plays just like Brad Miller. He presents over and over again. Brad plays well....we tend to play better. Perhaps the leading CHF has taken over the importance of the ruckman in pre-2000 footy.

    Has been cruelled by injuries but I wouldn't want to trade a top 20 pick unless we traded for it.

    Another promising player that frustrates...

    We could do worse, but can't give anything of value away for him.

    40 - 50 pick at the most.

    And he did barrack for the Dees.

    The again, so did Chris Judd...

    I rate Brad Miller more than this bloke. At least miller gets his hands dirty. Hansen had some of the greatest midfielders in the past two decades making him look like a star. Know he's up s&%t creek becasue its all dried up. Wouldn't even give a fourth round pick for him our waste room in the salary cap.

    Forget the Gold Coast or Western Sydney, I reckon the AFL should start up a team called the Once Were AllStars. They could be nomadic and their recruiting and drafting brief would be to punt on all the injury-prone, high draft pick or once-spruiked players that other clubs have let go. The money they saved on drafting and the salary cap could go towards low membership rates and cheap ground entry. They could get sponsorship from business like The Reject Shop, The $2 Shop or Best and Less.

    All the supporters who think there might be value in drafting 'bargain' players that were once promising but didn't come up with the goods could switch allegiance and live in hopeful and joyous anticipation but ultimate disappointment for the rest of their lives.

    Hansen is in the WCE leadership group. They rate him highly, he'd be in the side if fit.

    Mitchell Brown might be worth a punt. Out with a knee this year but might be keen to come home. Could be our answer at CHB.

    Was thinking the same thing Gouga. The problem is with how well his twin brother has gone they would be loathe to let him go. I also know a few people connected with the club and rest assured the club are absolutley fantastic with looking after their kids.

    No thanks!

    x 2.

    Quentin Lynch and Ashley Hansen are frauds. They absolutely lucked out with Judd, Cousins and Kerr.

    Major sponsor is tipped to be NQR.

    We desperately need another key forward Hanson would be as good as any if he was able to get over his hamstring problems which ATS seems unlikely.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
