Hannebery chaired from the ground...
What is your take?
Certainly warranted from a Sydney perspective but for St.Kilda?
I found it questionable.
Am I too harsh?
If Hannebery gets chaired off what about Kent?
Has played double the games for the club, cost a hell of a lot less and provided far better value.

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
I suspect it was more a career acknowledgement not simply a St Kilda acknowledgement. Otherwise, yes, it could be questionable.

Fair point, no you are not being harsh, so I go along with Kennedy being involved if he was to be chaired off.D.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Mon 22 Aug 2022 3:30pm What is your take?

But IMHO Kent didn't deserve a game let alone being chaired off, but to each his own.
Maybe it was for effort.

it would have been more appropriate if they used an electric chair to carry him off !

Maybe it shows how much his input off field has been appreciated.

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
Two champions of football being chaired off by their teammates -- seems very befitting to me.
We have been super-fortunate to have Paddy playing with us. i wish he'd gone another season.
We have been very unlucky with Hanner's career with us. As value for money it did not work out well. Yesterday's game made me wish for one more season from him too.
It's just pointless for people to be so negative or hateful at moments like this.
It was a very emotional moment. I think the club, the team, and the Swans too, carried it off really well!
I did feel a bit sorry for Kent. But he was lucky to get another game, and it was a great sign of appreciation that the club gave him his 100th.
Well done to him, and well done to the club.
He didn't get chaired off, because he isn't a true champion of football.
I'm sure he'd never claim he was.
Chill out. Let's be happy and appreciative of each person who's had a go.

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
I’m with you, mate. It just felt so bittersweet. I guess the Sydney fans loved it. They got the win, a top 4 spot and got to say goodbye to an old favourite. It seems only typical that St.Kilda gets shortchanged, again lolD.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Mon 22 Aug 2022 3:30pm What is your take?

Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
I don't have an issue with it because it was against the Swans where he actually had a great career unfortunately for us hardly fired a shot in 4 years but I can see the double standardD.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Mon 22 Aug 2022 3:30pm What is your take?

Symbolic of the bench that he has been on for the majority of time played for the saints.
One good thing... once you have been chaired off you can't come back!!

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
Second last of Swans 2012 premiership team still playing before the chair lift. (Sam Reid now sole survivor).
Must seem to him a long time ago in a place far away. Different body, too.

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
Champion of the game deserved to be chaired off.
I was at the game with my brother in law who is a Swans fan from the old South Melbourne days.
His opinion is that he was one of the best players he has seen in the red and the white and gave his all to the club.
My opinion is he gave his all to our club as well but unfortunately his body just simply could not respond.
As a person who had a promising sporting career, not football, before injury killed it I will never criticize a player who tried but whose body failed.
Anybody who can't appreciate what he gave to the game is simply bitter.

Re: Hannebery chaired from the ground...
Was the sub.
Did that constitute a game back then?
Did he get on the ground?

He has a premiership medal.
Pretty sure he came on for Mumford.

According to the Age Hannebery has said he may play again. Retirement feels good but his body is still ok.
