He was very good in the back half of 2012 as a forward and has been pretty good for a lot of 2013.
I just think saying "He's had a great year and a half" was stretching it a little, that is Hansenite-speak, he has been pretty good for a lot of 2013 since going back, in the 'loose man in defense' role:thumbsu:

He made one. Roughead's goal in the last.

He was huge.

Right after he provided some rebound. Spread offensively then worked back to help out in defence under big pressure.

He was ****ed, and still pissed for making the mistake.

He now asks of the highest standard from himself, and I'm stoked with his improvement this season.

Long may it continue.

It's probably best if you just don't post in this thread Reacher.

It's unbelievable how critical you are of our most improved player.

Here are some stats for you:
Ranked #3 for total marks in the league
Ranked #5 for marks per game
Ranked #11 total contested marks

Based on those three stats he would be one of the best if not the best Loose man in defence in the league.

Stats are stats mate, often they dont tell the full (or true) story;)

Are these rankings for the whole year or just after we was moved to defense from round 12 or whatever?

Stats are stats jack. You are quite correct.

But what did you think of lachy staning in a hole twice, getting cleaned up the second time, then running back with the flight of the ball and marking strongly?

Nothing laconic in that.

That said, he hasn't been as clean over the last few weeks. Let a few marks slip out the back. And he's kicking was a bot off yesterday.

He's still absolutely killing it. The evidence of his dramatic turn around was that I attended the footy yesterday with a guy that's hate for lachy exceeded mr reachers.

He is now inboard the lachy train. You should buy a ticket too jack.

It's time for all decent Big Footy supporters to turn off the Dry Reacher's life support. His card should be marked DNR. He genuinely couldn't care less about North Melbourne. I hear that there's a shortage of Kamikaze pilots Jack. Sounds like the perfect job for you!

Can you ignore posters? Please tell me how. I am so sick of reading Jack Reachers negative comments about hansen, and he even started a ridiculous thread on petrie. Trolling at its best.

When someone has made up their mind about someone their opinion rarely changes, and you're the perfect example of that. Hansen is in our best 3-5 players every week, ever since he went down back (1 or 2 for marks, 3-5 for disposals) and you always see the mistakes he makes. What did you think when ziebell turned it over and hawks scored a goal, or when cunnington always gets done for holding the ball? Imagine if hansen made those mistakes :eek:
