Ashley Hansen

[Guest DeesPower]

As flagged in the weekend press, the Eagles have serious salary cap problems and are very vulnerable to raids from GWS, Natnui being the obvious target since he comes from Western Sydney. They are also apparently seeking to offload their premiership CHF Ashley Hansen. Would we be interested?

Ashley is the son of that well known demon fan, and former ABC commentator Clark. Personally I think Ashley is too like our other key forwards in Watts and Jurrah, although vastly inferior to both, and even to Brad Miller. If we could get him for say a mid 30s draft pick would he be a useful backup.

I still think we need a Neitz-like power forward and there are not too many around unfortunately.

How the hell do the Eagles have salary cap issues when they are so bad? No Judd, no Cousins, Cox is surely eligible for Vets list, Kerr is on half a leg, and the rest are kids. WTF?

Also, no.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

You answered your own question.

Not at all interested.

We just delisted Miller (thus, we could have kept him for a 50+ draft pick). If Hansen is worse tell me again why we would want him.

Gone past it.

With all due respect, if you had of had that conversation with yourself before you decided to post it on Demonland you could have saved some bandwidth. And this pointless reply.

If I started a thread for every brain fart I had Demonland would be a laughing stock in 15 minutes. Moreso.

I lose patience with the lack of footy knowledge from some supporters....

I have seen Q Lynch, Hansen, Dowler, Thorpe etc been recommended....do some people even watch the footy.....???

At very least Q Lynch is a big strong bodied player who does make a contest - maybe not taking too much from the contest himself, but he does contest and breaks some packs. That alone IMVHO makes him >>>>> Newton.

Hansen is a gun but of late chronically injury prone. NO THANKS !

[hrob 2]

TBH i thought his career finished long ago

Even if it were mid 30s in the rookie draft I would not consider it for more than a nanosecond.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Gone past it.

He was never anything.

DB would laugh if he saw this thread.

A gun ?

I rate some AA's as "guns", not all mind you.

Ashley Hansen is far from a "gun" in my book. Handy player at best.

[Adzman 2,154]

Always encourage new threads/suggestions, but I do have to pass on Hansen. Hansen has always had the tag of "prospect" over at the eagles, I would now down grade him to "just another player" which we do not need at the MFC.

If the eagles have cap pressure, it does raise some serious question marks over their football department.

[Deeoldfart 8,033]

Gone past it.

Rarely (if ever) had it!

[JACKATTACK 17]

I have never seen anything from him, but a WC fan I know rates him. Reckons he was one of their most important players in 05-06 because when he was injured they really noticed it. Maybe there is something in that. But he seems to me to be an injury prone 'meh' player. No.

This thread fails as bad as I do at tipping Melbourne Cup winners.

Rivals the Laycock thread.

[Rogue 585]

There was a Laycock thread? Geez.
