Dan Hannebery - Bold prediction

[CJK]

He played real games if I remember. Did quite well.

[YvonneH]

Not sure if this is the right thread but here goes.

There is a lot of hype about Kane Turner (Kangaroos) still being at school and playing AFL.

I seem to remember that Dan was still at school and being flown up from Melb to play (not sure about training).

Did he play only in the pre-season games or did he get games in the home and away season as well?

[ScottH]

Did a lot of chatting on the field. Very much captain material, IMHO.
Tried his guts out today.

[Kirkari]

One of maybe three or four players who looked like they gave a stuff today. Definitely not the problem.

Exactly. You'd think a few had non-refundable flights to Bali for early September.

[Margie]

He tries his heart out and is normally a great little player. How can you shine with a non-team structure/effort like that?

[liz]

Yeah one or two bad kicks amongst a heap of possessions (and a magnificent kick to set up O'Keefe for a goal) ... he was definitely not the problem today

hannebery cannot kick - awful disposal

Shane Crawford would take Dan as pick #3 if the 2008 draft was re-held:

Everyone's a genius in hindsight. Tough luck Crawf!

My bold prediction...Daniel will be getting a call from his Mum to tidy up his room. Excellently stitched up by the Grand Master Tang on home invasions. Check it out on Swans TV.

You are a darling Aardie, thank you for your most interesting information

You are more than welcome my dear.

[aardvark]

You mean Big Footy got it wrong. I'm shocked.

Ha....you should have known" BIG AL" Martello. You will never forget now......except when the alzheimers really sets in........would that be" BIG AL"zheimers.

You're right - some players just will it through with confidence. Any slight hesitation or doubt and you're shot.

I've noticed with Buddy Franklin that he tends to miss the easier shots but when the time comes to slot one from outside 50 on the boundary he generally puts it right through the middle. His kicking efficiency is terrible but he loves to kick those important ones.

[Triple B]

I just think some players relish the pressure, some don't.
It's not always the best kicks that kick the clutch goals.
Cressa is a classic example, I saw him miss many easy shots at goal in the middle of games.
I also saw him kick some absolute clutch goals when it mattered. ie SCG after the siren against North. Time on( or during extra time) 4th quarter against Bombers 96 prelim. etc
I reckon Hanners is that sought of player.

Hanners is certainly a ballsy and confident young bloke and if he missed, it would be more thru lack of technique then a bad case of the jitters.

I still would look to a fair few others before throwing him the ball, but your point is well made.
