He may be overrated but if he wins that and the Brownlow, who really cares?Well Hanners need 7 coaches votes to win the AFLCA award or 6 to share it with fyfe, hope he wins it.
At the risk of being howled down, hanners is becoming one of the overrated players in the league
You have said or intimated that same thing many times now. Hanners is a gun, elite, top 10, the lot.
Coaches' votes
ST KILDA V SYDNEY
9 – Daniel Hannebery (Syd)
9 – Josh Kennedy (Syd)
6 – Heath Grundy (Syd)
4 – Kurt Tippett (Syd)
1 – Tom Mitchell (Syd)
1 – Dane Rampe (Syd)
Simple breakdown:
Hannebery - 5, 4
Kennedy - 5, 4
Grundy - 3, 3
Tippett - 2, 2
Mitchell - 1
Rampe - 1
Question is which coach gave Mitchell 1 and which coach gave Rampe 1 (No double entendres please)
Horse would of gone rampe

Not much risk there. Well not around here. Judging by our POTY thread this week, you are clearly in the majority.
As a relative newb to this great game, I need to understand how a player who gets gets first bite of the Sherrin at nearly every stoppage, manages 33 possessions @ 51.5% for a nett of 17 effective disposals, is viewed so glowingly and hanners, with 39 @ 66.7% is under the spotlight. I get that stats aren't everything but..... Maybe if Dan had been discarded by the Hawks, he may be held more dearly around here.
I dont deny that hanners is my fave swan, and I have been disappointed with some of his efforts in recent weeks. I think he is an instinctive player and needs to be positioned accordingly, in situations where he doesn't need to think.... just win the ball, clear it and run like hell to the next breakdown/contest.
Costly win Smith could miss up to 3 weeks according to Larkins.
Defenders get a pretty rough deal when it comes to votes. Grundy's game was flawless.
I can get the philosophy of it, but with the exception of playing the witches hats that is Melbourne last week their form has been quite poor. I would have thought they need to play themselves into a bit of form this week on the back of the dees win, not unlike us over the past few weeks. Ross may well be doing us a favour.You can see why freo look at the resting option

For me its a 50/50 proposition, I guess time will tell if its the right call or not.
Rather it that way tbh, just keep everything off of us for now and let them underrate us because that's what brings the best out of the players and the coaching staff I suppose.Mick Sheehan says we are no chance for a flag

I can't believe they actually think a team is going to win the flag from outside the top 4. It won't happen this year.They are flogging over the crows
Watched the replay this arvo. Really watched Mitchell, and yeah he got a heap of touches and kicked 2 goals, but a good amount of his kicks were absolute tripe floaters that went straight to saints defenders. And he definitely has no right boot.
He'll be fantastic if he could just clean up his kicking. Rest of his game is A grade.
My only qualm from yesterday's effort.
On to the suns
OK just gave the replay watch, really not sure if we are talking about the same game.
I counted 3 inside 50 marks from Mitchell kicks (hit Cunningham lace out, Tippett and Pyke).
Couldn't keep count of the targets hit around the ground as they were plentiful, but most of them were aggressive / attacking kicks too, one notable one opened up the play brilliantly and led to a coast to coast goal to Tippett. Kicked 2 goals.
Can only a couple that went to Saint defenders (one a long bomb which went to three Saints defenders which is likely the one that stuck in your mind), but they were very much the minority, unlike Hanners (the norm). But he lead the team for kicks with 20 so we can forgive one or 2 can't we.
So yeah, stand by comment on the first page that I think he is emerging as one of of our more dependable midfielders by foot, your post literally looks copy and pasted from 2014.
Yeah look I acknowledge when I say he is one of out better kicks it's not an ideal situation but plenty other blokes butchering it far more.Spot on
The mitchell kicking issue is a myth (well by sydney standards)
He did also say you can never count us out either.Mick Sheehan says we are no chance for a flag

BTW, on second watch Teddy wasn't as bad as I first thought, just had a couple of moments.
