I always picture Ash Hansen leading up the ground marking outside 50 rather than traditional CHF kicking bags.

He was a very important link and we looked better with him in the side

He certainly helped our structure but he was only a serviceable player. Nothing more.

A lot of people seem to reaaaallly fondly remember and rate Ash Hansen. In any other team that didn't win a premiership he would've been forgotten about real quick.

He certainly helped our structure but he was only a serviceable player. Nothing more.

The win % when Ash was available and when he wasn't (which was too often given his injuries), were night and day. Through the period 2005 - 07 his record when playing was 40-8 a 83% winning percentage, whereas we were 14-13 without him a 51% winning percentage. He was a very important player.

He straightened us up a lot when he came in, partly because our forwardline was trash. Was a pretty bog standard CHF though

Of course he straightened us up. He ran on train tracks so we had no other choice.

 

[RookiePick]

Didn't Ash have bugger knees or comically short hamstrings or something? Always looked like a marionette out there but he certainly got the job done. Seems very well regarded in the coaching space now too iirc.

 

[RanaNaved]

Hansen was an ordinary AFL CHF but invaluable to WC in 05/06. Almost the MVP

 

[KERRPOW]

I still remember how angry I got with him then now. * I was furious.

why did the muppet play on

 

[MaxHunt]

Ash had a huge frame and set of arms on him but never seemed to take a contested mark. Was a great lead up CHF.
