Past #6: Lachlan Hansen - pick 3 '06 - 151 NM games - NM life member - thanks Lachie

[DarwinRoo]

Hmmm, nobody currently wearing 36, so 18 + 6 = 24. What odds Levi to kick the last in our next premiership?

Isn't Hansen 6?

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

pretty bloody sure Kenners wears the #36

Ah, you're right, should have checked the website. Alright, come grandfinal day I'll have a three-way bet for one of Hansen, Kennedy or Greenwood to kick the last goal. Should get great odds if Kennedy still hasn't debuted.

 

[Tas]

I love Sammy Wright as a forward, but if we have Taz, Drew and Lachie in there, I think his time deep forward will be very limited, not that his effort wont be there, but the 4 of them would definitely result in a decline in our defensive pressure.

Sammy isn't really a key forward and plays his best footy around the half forward line where he creates goals as much as kicks them. The benefit of him playing down back is he has greater versatility, for him to be able to switch between half back, half forward and hopefully in the future a bit on the wings will allow for him to be an elite level utility, hopefully.

 

[Saintly31]

Hansen still needs to work on his goal kicking, it is still pretty average. He is running too close to the man on the mark and there doesn't seem to be any real fluency in his kicking for goal, it feels unnatural, like someone having a shot with their opposite foot.

Spot on Tas, gets too close and has a poor ball drop. Hopefully he starts working on it or is getting good advice on how he can improve. I think his marking suits a forward, but he has a defenders kick.

The whole club needs to sort out its goalkicking, its hurt us more than once this year.

Over all of Brad Scott tenure.

Over all of Brad Scott tenure.

Thats true OF.

 

[Psicosis]

Haters eat dirt.

Thought he was fantastic today, contested every contest, chased, and looked like a new player out there today. His second and third efforts were great.

Will make it.

 

[gokangas]

Excellent game today but needsto do it again.Tarrant was great last week. But I hope this is the Lachie we see every week - big game today.

 

[year of the roo]

Consistency has always been his issue, rather than being able to put in the odd performance like today. That said, I thought this was one of his best games for us. He really has had some good ones in the past too.

 

[year of the roo]

He did do it again. I thought Lachie was pretty good last week too, only his finishing let him down. Everything else he did was very good.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Loved the way he through his body around! Keep it up mate! The stir in the VFL has got the desire burning

 

[showusyacunningt]

He wants it. He also has the body to compete now. Well done Lachie and Brad Scott.

He needs someone to work on a set shot routine with him. He's all at sea when running in, even the one he kicked from 40odd was mm away from being a shank.

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

Hope the thumb injury doesn't stop him.

 

[gokangas]

I didnt, but all credit today. Great game.

 

[Psicosis]

The agression and physicality he provided at every contest today was unbelievable. Sent fear throughout their entire back 6. He was crashing packs like Drew.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Jesus there are going to be a lot of bumped threads around here if he keeps playing like that.

Having said that, out Hansen in Daw.

 

[tazaa]

The three pronged attack worked again.
Defenders dont know what to do!!

 

[Liam Boy]

He always plays well against the Saints

 

[giantroo]

I love our forward line now. A few weeks ago our forward line was Petrie. Now I love seeing Taz, lachy and dish walk together with 3 smalls!! The way it should be!!

 

[giantroo]

Taz played the perfect decoy this week. Last week it was Lachy, this week Taz!!

 

[theduckfan]

Excellent game, need to do this week in week out.

 

[Daz]

Spilt too many marks but we don't need to worry about that part of his game. It was his intensity which was terrific.

 

[Roos4eva]

He was very good today/tonight.

Definitely needs to keep this up every week, but so far, so good.

 

[THRILLHO]

Dropped some gimmes but that will come with time and confidence.

Still needs a set-shot routine.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Could become an X factor in our finals surge.
