Mick Malthouse hasn’t held back saying Saints shouldn’t go near Hanners as his body is “gone”

“LEGENDARY coach Michael Malthouse has launched a withering attack on St Kilda’s recruiting philosophies, saying the club’s interest in Sydney midfielder Dan Hannebery is misguided.”
“He said the talk of St Kilda offering Hannebery a long-term deal at this point in his 204-game career was silly.
“His body is gone,” Malthouse said on ABC radio.
“He is an old 27-year-old. He would be one of the last players I would pick.
“If they (St Kilda) are talking these four and five-year (contracts) it is a ridiculous amount of years for a player whose body is struggling to get through this year.”
“His pace is gone,” Matlhouse said.
“Once your pace goes you are gone, and he never had a great deal of it in the first place, so when you start to lose what you had, you are in real trouble.”
