Ashley Hansen

[mufc 0]

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??

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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...

[dazzledavey36 55,390]

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!

[Dalrot 85]

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

We already have Brad Miller.

[grazman 7,463]

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.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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

[Adzman 2,154]

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.

[rpfc 28,816]

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.

[jacey 333]

No thanks!

x 2.

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

:D

Major sponsor is tipped to be NQR.

Reject Shop and $2 Shop are one and the same

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.

[Waltham33 475]

Not for me
