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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
