Hannebery unlikely to play AFL in first month of season

[samuraisaint]

He's probably most unlikely to play at all this year unless it is a couple of VFL games very late in the season.
I have seen this movie before.

Stepped away from the leadership group?

Stepped away from the leadership group?

I guess he’s too busy not playing football...

Why St Kilda's Dan Hannebery signing has been a failure

When St Kilda threw a big money contract at former Swans star Daniel Hannebery last off-season, the AFL world collectively rolled its eyes.
"When the story was in front of us we said this is a really, really dodgy move.
“Not only is it a dodgy move, they're paying him a ridiculous amount of money. That is an issue.
"We know the body is so banged up that he cannot even get back onto the park right now. We knew this in October. This is not all fresh.

[Teflon]

Debacle
Someone should resign over this.

Really?

Purple hates Saints. Why side with him?

This is a fox sports article which I agree with: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/commen ... faa27c8f77

Injuries to high salary earners is not good but is part of footy: Nic Nac, Rance, Boyd, Mitchell, Daniher, Hogan, Kruezer and Scully with GWS.

Does not mean they are/were bad for their clubs.

If you do not want someone on high salary injured do not pay high salaries and accept being mediocre, because that is the obvious consequence of being risk adverse.

The thing about the money is he he just lucky to come to the club at this stage of the current player list .
At the end of last year we had most of the players signed till 2020/2021.
Now for the last few years we've had plenty of salary cap space and have tried unsuccessfully to get a big name.
Isn't there some rule in the salary cap that you can't pay the minimum more than 4 years in a row ?
So until our good young talent start earning big dollars , players like DH benefit cos under Afl rules the club has to pay more in the cap

He is the most qualified footballer on our list. A 3 time all australian, premiership player.

Are you as good as Dan in your industry?

I seriously doubt it.

Biggest mistake since Freeman<Lovett<Barrot!
Give our recruiters the flock and use a dart throwing monkey instead!

Righto.

Chris Judd, Buddy Franklin and Bobby Skilton are also way better at their jobs than I am at mine.

They also have excellent credentials. AAs, Brownlows etc

But would you give them a 5 year contract now?

Probably not.

Go away.

Actually N). I hate it. Would much rather I didn't have to do it. The admin on a banning takes about 5 minutes of my time each time. I am time poor as it is. It actually sucks that I have to do it.

No one is forcing you. You’re the sole moderator and make the rules!

Apparently Hanners is hoping to play in the second half of the season.

I am hoping for an end to global warming.

True. I also pay for the site and have been handed the responsibility bu the owner. But without the rules and without moderation, there would be no footy discussion - just bickering. So doing a bit of work and denying people 24 hours of posting (remember they can still read) is a small price to pay to keep the chatter civilised. All I am saying is that I would much rather there was no need to ban anyone - ever.

Damned if you do damned if you don't . Sometimes I think your too harsh but hey mate you can only please some of the people some of the time

Great off field assistant is Dan, worth every cent, will be a great on field addition come September!!!!!

[samuraisaint]

I saw him today straight after the match. He certainly gave me the impression that he was at work and not there just to watch the game. Hard to always tell these things when you just see someone for a few minutes, but he must have been on his way down to the rooms after the match as he was with one of the assistants (I think, I didn't recognize the guy but he was in full club attire, not the players' uniform that they wear to games when not playing).

[MC Gusto]

Hopefully he’s right for the finals!!

[saintsRrising]

Looks like it is time to say Hanna; 2 weeks

[Joffa Burns]

Time for Dan to do the right thing and retire.

We negotiate an affordable payout salary cap payout over next two years & offer him a coaching role from 2021 as compensation.

Assistant coaches don’t fall under the players salary cap and don’t usually get (reported) $800k over 4-5 year deals.

Would live to see Dan as an assistant after he negotiates a deal & retires
