Now that we've selected him I believe he was in the running to go at the first pick in the draft.  Total gun who will play from day one.

I don't know a thing about him so I'm looking forward to hearing more from those who do.

Welcome to the best club in the land, Mitch.

Can take a mark

wj beat me to it!

 

fair mark.

can get amongst the goals too:

Gun. Hopefully we take another from that good VFL side. I think Hannan could be really good. Bullies have invested a lot of time into their VFL players. They'd be spewing. Good for us.

Wow....he slipped down the list and still available at 46. Just stoked

And apparently also:

Club expected him to go top 5 so imagine their surprise when he was available at pick 47. 

Maybe we are after some second hand Doggies IP to add to our newly acquired Hawks resource!?

I remember watching him in the VFL Grand Final. Had some excitement about him.

AFL hopefuls strut their stuff in VFL finals

Hannan's two goals and 10 marks helped the Dogs to a 32-point win over Collingwood in round 21, which ended the Pies' 12-game winning streak.

The 22-year-old from St Bernards, since taking an old-fashioned hanger in April, has developed his game to a more consistent level in his second season in the VFL.

"He's got his health and his conditioning to a level where he's playing midfield as well, and when he's got his ability to mark overhead and such a long-range left foot on him, he's certainly a weapon for us which is pleasing to have," Hansen said.

Hansen described Hannan as a "blank canvas with plenty of potential".

"I'd certainly say he's got AFL attributes … and he's a good size. Obviously he's a raw prospect in terms of the talent pathway. He's been a local footballer until he came into our program," he said.

Might be a bit of Doggies recency bias involved but I think he can play. We needed more goal kickers on the list so suits a need. Think his forward pressure and speed should allow him to play multiple roles as well. Not unhappy.

he looks like he'll be another of the type we like - big bodied, big kick, can play forward and contest football in the midfield.

 

be interested in whether he's a quick player.

Gee amazed he slipped through that far for our pick! Gee we are amazed! Just joking of course, hope he is a gun of course. 

I don't like to crap on about drafting this or that player... But this guy can play.

Love it.
