Hanners told a close friend of mine (also a close friend of his) that he was shocked at how poorly the Saints players approached pre season training.
Wouldn’t surprise me if this was true.

This is so fishy...I reckon the saints might be covering up a big porkie. I can’t believe they think we are all that stupid...

If he plays footy as well as Carlisle does ,( prior to current, unrelated injury ) its great. Carlilse even took a massive pay cut because of it.This is gold. It's basically Carlisle v2. Can Saints ever draft somebody not into the Nosé?
What's watts got to do with the crows? Not being a smartarse just wanted to say double what's in a question.If he plays footy as well as Carlisle does ,( prior to current, unrelated injury ) its great. Carlilse even took a massive pay cut because of it.
Can't help it if players come with bad habits they picked up at poor cultured clubs. ( though it is a bit dumb when they put it on social media ). Crows had the same problem with Watts.
Main difference from Carlisle is their "WAS" a video. Where is the Hannebery video?

Oops i knew it was one of those teams over thereWhat's watts got to do with the crows? Not being a smartarse just wanted to say double what's in a question.
They look the same to me.Twitter delivers

They read your posts and draw their own conclusions.
Why do St Kilda continue to recruit players with 'question marks' without doing due diligence? Andy Lovett, Hake Carlisle etc ?
(Another) One flew over The Moorabbin Cuckoo's nest
Every single person I've spoken to about this (outside this forum) thinks this has a rotten stink to it.
The saints have built a bit of a reputation unfortunately and that is fact, not opinion.
Take off you saint-coloured glasses.
Even your own supporters think there is something fishy about this.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Cursed club ...
I heard a rumour that the Saints didn't even recruit Dan for his leadership or playing ability. A reputable source told me that this trade and the events that would follow would allow more media attention towards the saints. Therefore, allowing St Kilda to have the image that they are a big Victorian club.
The saints recruited him because they are irrelevant.
Clearing the way I guess; as a start.
I haven't read any of the posts in any of this thread (except of the last post).
But I know for a fact for two things:
1. When Buddy first moved to Sydney, a parked car was hit by a drunk/drugged driver when they were both on a bender (the car was a JEEP, and his missus was given a free JEEP due to being an Ambassador for the brand). But from the suppressed Police Report given to JEEP, Dan was the driver, Buddy was in the passenger seat.
2. Also when Buddy first moved to Sydney, they (Buddy & Dan) had quite the afternoon at the Sydney Opera House Bar, that Dan got kicked out around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. He was very agitated, incoherent, and aggressive. We got a summary of the Police report because of one of the people who was there with him worked for a company where I was at and privy to this information (in relation to a brand/company mentioned above).
Not saying he is the same person now, but facts speak for themselves. And the above is FACT.
Feels shit when you think something is really funny and you post it but then no one else finds it funny doesn't it?I heard a rumour that the Saints didn't even recruit Dan for his leadership or playing ability. A reputable source told me that this trade and the events that would follow would allow more media attention towards the saints.

Doesn't make sense, but i think it must be a St.Kilda thing because a couple of other players (Bruce & Roberton) have stepped away when injured too.Surely no one would believe injury rehabilitation times conflict with leadership meeting times. That’s crazy stuff.
