Listen Kids, Just Say 'No'!!!

[bulldogtragic]

Not just to drugs, but to trading for Ash Hansen. Sure it looks cool, but it's dangerous and bad and would be another case of history repeating.

So when your friends ask, whether you want to trade for Ash Hansen, just say 'NO'.

Sorry, to late for me I'm already hooked. Hansen is a premiership winning CHF and in partnership with Hall next year i can see i doggies flag.

Drugs are bad - Hansen is good(not the band).

Too late for me. I think I'm having a relapse from last trade period.

Hansen is the poster boy for my "just because you're tall doesn't mean you're a KPP" theory. So many fans put actual height ahead of overhead marking and the like in KPP desired attributes. "I don't care how good he is, he can't be a KPP, he is only 190cm!!!!". Imo he is much more of a medium forward than a KPP forward.

That being said I would think about getting Hansen if we could get him for virtually nothing.

Why the thread, have you heard something?
All I remember was we (as in WOOF) were mostly for it last trade period once the surely bound for Whitten Oval this time around Barry Hall said no, but he also said no.

I couldn't care less if he was 130cm, if he can lead, demand the ball, mark and actually present enough to play on the HF line I'd consider him. The fact he'd demand a tall defender make it a gamble worth trying IMO.

We have Johnno as a HF now, Murph can play there, and that's it apart from midfield rotations.

Ash is a rash we shouldn't scratch.

Re: Listen Kids, Just Say 'No'!!!

OK

Ash and Barry

or

Hahn and Welsh

I know which combo I would prefer

If we can get Ash/Barry for some late draft picks or some players that just arent going anywhere then great

If they want to be payed the BIG bucks then the Western Oval isnt the place for them

If they want to have another tilt at a flag then it just might be the place for them

These guys are our short term 'chance' option...without them we wont pass GO and collect $200 until the likes of Boumann, Cordy, Roughead, Jones, Everitt develop....if any of them do...apart from Mr Lake we havnt developed a key position player that has played more than 75 games with us this decade (not counting Grant & Darcy who started their careers in the 90s)

He can't lead, he doesn't demand the ball, he can't mark, he doesn't present enough (or well enough) to play on the HF line at the highest level.
He slots right in there with Minton Connell, Bandy, etc etc.

Hansen's destiny is to be a 2 to3 year professional footballer with the new Gold Coast team.

Good enough to help set up a 'new franchise' as a work horse and that's about it.

I'd prefer Barry and Jarrad, with cameos from Liam, Ayce and Jarrad.

Agreed - that's a very good line.
