Anyone remember Hannebery's father Matt who played 32 games at Footscray between 1986 and 1990?

Yes. No 36. In and out. Half back, from memory, it was a long time ago. He came to us from Old Xavs and went back and coached his old club after finishing up with us. He was related to Tony Hannebery, President of Williamstown around that time. From memory, on that fightback Sunday in 1989 at Western Oval when Peter Gordon pulled out his master stroke, calling on the players and the "Board" to come on to the Oval then announced "We have the players and our Board, now all we need is some money ", Tony was named as club president. Great motivation and the revival was on. So the Hannebery family has a bit of history with the club. We should go easy on Dan.

Thanks, didn't realise Tony was a relation as well.

Yeah - chronic hamstring issues cursed him if I remember correctly - always looked like he was a good player and could have been even better

Bought some raffle tickets from him for the players' end of season trip fund at a district cricket match at the Western Oval back in the late '80s.

You make your own luck, Swans should have considered not taking multiple injured players into the grand final who ended up accomplishing barely anything.

We took a gamble taking injured players into the finals and Morris had a broken back .
The swans injuries happened during the game.
The Franklin one was very minor but the media jumped on it so they could use at as an excuse if they lost and how heroic he was if they won.
Kennedy was knocked out a game or two before IIRC and he was their best player by a country mile.
We had more under done players going into the finals but it was a godsend as they were fresh had nothing to lose and gave it their all.
Basically we played as a tight knit team which Richmond and the Pies have taken on board since.

Mills & McGlynn were both bought back in despite clearly not being recovered. It was pure arrogance to bring in multiple underdone players into a grand final, we were beaten up but cracked in the entire time.

Yep, as one of my old bosses once said to me "excuses are boring". Total loser's limp mentality. When the whips were cracking with 10 minutes to go in the GF, we won every single contest that mattered. Fark him and fark the Swans, we got the chocolates and glory will be ours forever.
