Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Mitch Hannan
His effort is outstanding and he impacts contests in the air and at ground level to make the game stay in our area more.
Like Bruce last year I think he's struggling to get in the groove with our forward line and game structure, plus he had an interrupted preseason which may have dulled his best chance of impacting to his ability.
I was very harsh on him this evening with the ball he decided not to centre. And I won't take that back, because a role player with limited skill needs to understand that by being selfish in that situation is the type of thing that keeps a player like him out of a competitive side.
On the other hand centering the ball and us scoring from that is exactly the type of thing that makes his team mates embrace him. It was a shit moment in an otherwise pretty good game in which I further understood why he's important to us.
