Hannas Rumour from social media

[MC Gusto]

Mathematically impossible for him to hit the trigger

Shame the trigger wasn’t set on an annual basis..

[Teflon]

Payout to coach next year
Free up list spot
Hope that’s to help a Bing plus Narkle move..

no abs in this.....thanks

abs-olutely not!

[Ghost Like]

Time to retire. One of the worst decisions the Saints have ever made. As usual no one is accountable

This!

An abominable decision, yet those involved in getting it over the line plus the player are still at the club. Only Richo is missing, he must feel like the Beatles original drummer.

All those who selected JB at 3 are long gone, leaving the JB to cop the brunt of being selected at 3.

Similar with McCartin, this time all are gone but the repercussions linger.

Now we are effectively held to a deal that only Old Xavs will benefit from.

[The_Dud]

The rumour I’m hearing is that he’s looking good and they’re confident he’ll be ready to go round 1…

Lol

Anybody else see a new group of assistant coaches emerging - Hannas, Gears and Dal.

Reports that they have negotiated a reduced contract for next year.

Are those who brought him to the club going to hand back some of their salary too?

[SaintJohno]

Well that's positive, he could have been a prick abs stuck to the contract. Shows a bit of character at least.

Time will tell. Seems like there may have been more than one trigger in his contract. Another whose fault for being at the club does not rest with him - others need to be held to account in my opinion.

If he's on our list next season I wish him nothing but the best. However we paid money the equivalent of a 2015 Hannebery not the broken shell of that version six years on. Sydney are not a silly club nor are the desperate. We appear to tick both boxes.

Agree 100%.

To be honest, it's not his fault that we elected to draft him in the first place, not his fault that the club elected to throw that much money at him, not his fault that his body has kept breaking down, it sounds like he has left no stone unturned trying to get his body right.

No doubt he is a quality player but it's just tragic that his body has betrayed him - do we keep him on at this more realistic salary in the hope that his body comes good, or do we just cut our losses and accept that he's cooked and bring in a young guy???

Interesting to see which way they'll go

Very much so. Agreed

[Sanctorum]

In essence I fully understand and agree why St Kilda went after Dan Hannebery at the end of 2018, but the real question surrounding his recruitment from the Swans is the due diligence the club's medical team were required to perform on his dodgy calves and hamstrings, which were widely reported towards the end of that year when he missed a total of 9 games due to injury.

I'm not sure if the club medicos have ever been brought to account because most of the blame about what turned out to be a bad decision has been directed at Finnis and Lethlean. It will be interesting to see if the truth will ever be revealed about the people involved.

It is certainly good to hear that Dan himself is prepared to take a pay cut and I really hope he is able to make a full recovery and play a lot of games in the next 2 years - I'm quite certain he will give it his all.

Taking less money... smells of ultimatum to me... less or none

Quite possibly, smells of face saving PR for player & club.

How none? he reportedly had contract for next year.

Only 1 abs round here buddy what’s the go????

[Gershwin]

Good outcome - now delist him and pay him out ha ha.

I think we all assumed it was a failure of due diligence.
Maybe there was no due diligence done in the first place?

It's a bit like saying there’s oxygen failure on Mars. There's no oxygen on Mars.

They probably only said that they would do due diligence for appearances and just went through the motions. It was always going to be a fait accompli.

According to the article he played 201 of possible 220 games at Swans. Maybe no one should be blamed and it’s just bad luck?

[Impatient Sainter]

Quality decision Hanners, credence to you! Hopefully you get to play a full season of footy next year?

[roskilde]

Best outcome we could have hoped for.

Having a lower wage might take some of the pressure off his shoulders as well and help him relax.

Hope he has a belter of a season next year.
