I don’t mind Newman but he is extremely soft and pretty slow , and rarely stood up for us when it counted . Bit of a downhill skier , at least when he was with us .

watch the last few minutes of the Essendon come back last year, and note his involvement.
Bit of positive and negative revisionism with Newman going on this board at the moment. He was a solid utility player, won’t cost us a flag that he’s gone - doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have contributed either.
Newmans problem is his speed. Otherwise a very handy footballer. But you can't teach speed, so while he could do well in H&A, he could be exposed in finals.
My link got removed but it was referring to Hanners being removed from the saints leadership group to focus on his rehab.

AFL 2019: Dan Hannebery out of St Kilda leadership group; Alastair Clarkson ‘move on’
Here's another link.
I think we won that deal.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Pretty poor form to repeat the ‘Swans’ fell off their chair’ rubbish in this article (and the unsubstantiated gossip).
Longmire categorically refuted the slight on Dan’s leadership.
“He was our vice-captain last year and has been in our leadership group for a number of years,” Longmire told SEN’s Time On.
“It would’ve been a surprise if he wasn’t in the leadership group from my perspective.”
John Longmire comments on Dan Hannebery leadership surprise claim
I know he's a past player from a long time ago, but who will replace Tony Morwood as the Melbourne Office manager?
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
Since when do injured players get removed from the leadership group to focus on their rehab ? Something doesn’t smell right with this situation , and moving away from rumours that are out there, the fact is, this is completely unheard of and it’s very ,very strange.

I dunno - it checks out from my perspective. In most of the communities I'm involved with, you want to get to know someone before you make them a leader, regardless of the experience or reputation. So Hannebery was always an "interesting" choice to be in the Saints leadership group from my perspective.
Now that he can't get on the field, it's even harder for him - he can't prove his value and he can't provide in-game leadership. It makes a lot of sense for him step down and say "let's wait until I'm able to fully participate in the team".
For his sake, I hope he does get himself right and back to his best. It's sad to think that his career might be cut so very short.
