5 years Dan Hannebery?

It would be great to get Hannebury.

The dude is a winner. A pro. Experienced. From all reports, an 'elite' trainer.

When building teams from rock bottom, you just need to steadily improve. We're not going to instantly get Fyfe, Martin and Kelly and be amazing overnight.


Melbourne for example, added Vince, Melcham, Hibberd, Lewis and then Lever over about 5 years.


Adding a guy like Hannebury, from a hugely successful club is a fantastic start for us.

Good post RF. Exactly.

Agree.

[minneapolis]

Unless we get him for free not worth our time............. he's more cooked than me leathery roast

Love your hair, Brewski. Where did you get it done?

[chico2001]

Has defintely dropped off this year in relation to winning the ball and impacting games. The 3 previous years he was very good. May come back better next year after a good summer but he will cost big bucks if the saints want him.

[fugazi]

If he comes with a time machine hes a great pick up...but it is 2018 and he is on a fairly rapid slide.
His history is almost irrelevant now.

The time machine is actually very relevant.

Richo's Gameplan is many years out of date and more intune with the slow stoppage type play that the Swans (and Saints under Lyon) were master of.

Today it is all about pushing forward quickly and constantly. Not sure how Hannebery fits in with football gameplans now.

I don’t understand your point.. Hannas is an elite gut runner and was always regarded as one of the best in the league.. he’s clearly injured

This might apply to the 2015 version of Hanners, perhaps.

He looks pretty stuffed to me but I'm sure the club led by his close family friend and ex AFL senior employee will do their ’due diligence’.

While touched by your blind faith you blithely ignore his form and his price. He’s going to be more than double the price that Melbourne paid for those players ( unless we pay him 310k a year for 8 years - no problem with that - as long as he has sufficient honour to retire early) and his form over the past two years is awful.
He may train the house down but he’s slow, he can’t kick and he’s not wanted at a club with an enviable recruitment record.

Blind faith?

That's funny.

[Hemi Baxter]

Blind faith that he’s the right guy at that price.
Don’t mind rebuilding slowly taking competent players to fix our bottom six problems but it will compromise our rebuild if we pay too much for too little.

I agree that the price is key.

[chico2001]

They will be paying for him dont worry about that. Saints have a full warchest and that dud Lethlean will spend it all on 1-2 players just to satisfy his own ego and make it look as if he is actually doing something that takes nous instead of sacking footballers/coaches who virtually sacked themselves through non performance.

I don't agree with that.

I think Lethlean will be good for the club. It will take 2-3 years though. You can't transform it overnight.

[IluvHarvey]

I have a feeling that obtaining him will cost us a lot less than what everyone thinks.
Sydney need lower end draft picks to bid for Blakey's son.
If we cheap out on the picks we will be forced to pay his current contract though with no help from Sydney.

I honestly believe this will be (if done) a success story for our club.
