    Hannan becomes a Bulldog

    The 26-year-old forward has been secured by the Western Bulldogs in a trade with Melbourne, in exchange for its 2021 future round three selection.

    Hannan has signed a two-year contract with the Bulldogs.

    Rated him very highly after watching him at Footscray and was disappointed when we missed out on him.

    I think he'll be good for us and has more grunt & toe than Lipinski, Lloyd, Dale etc who he'll be competing with for that mid sized forward role.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Mitch Hannan

    In his first two seasons:

    35 Games
    44 Goals
    26 Behinds
    22 Goal Assists

    The last two seasons he's been played less and impacted his overall stats. If we can get him back into the form of his first two seasons, that would be great. Having started late there's scope for 5 seasons left in him.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Mitch Hannan

    I think he is a decent signing, but if we keep all of Dale, Lloyd, Weightman, Schache and Cavarra on the list despite slotting Hannan in ahead of them in the pecking order i am going to be disappointed.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Mitch Hannan

    I'm happy to get him for nostalgic reasons. I loved that VFL flag and he was awesome that season. Such a shame both he and Long fell through, Long would easily find a spot in this side as well.

    Does he make us better? Not sure, I see it a little sideways for my likings. Does he bring more than Lloyd or Dale? I think he's got a bit more grunt about him but not sure if it makes a huge difference.

    IMO we need to shed one of Lloyd or Dale now, preferably Lloyd.

    Oh. Welcome back Mitch!

    I am not over enthusiastic with this one, but happy to have him, at the Bulldogs.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Mitch Hannan

    He's got more attributes than Lloyd and is more consistent than Dale. He should get some games in 2021.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Why is there a random Charlie Spargo highlight in that video?

    I seem to remember him kicking a couple of goals against us this year, three if memory is correct.

    Welp, I suppose he's a modest upgrade on Gowers ...

    No, he barely touched it against us this year. To be fair he was a last minute inclusion after Nathan Jones broke down in the warm up.

    Lucky we already knew all about him because he hasn't exactly impressed when we have played Melbourne - 4 goals in 5 games.
