Hansen is good. I like him. A seemingly good bloke. I like the way he plays football about 80% of the time. 20% of the time, I do not like the way he plays football. But that is okay. I'm hardly going to send him hate, or even dislike, or even apathy mail. I just smile vacantly and hope that he plays well. If he does not, it is no biggie. I do not return to my secret dungeon behind the bookcase in my 4th study and put pins into my Lachie doll and mutter voodoo sentences into the midnight moon shadows. No. I just think 'yeah, that wasn't so good for a number 3 draft pick. But eh. Next week he'll be better, of that I am sure'.

All of this considered, if Loogie fetched something.... fetching.. On the market. I would entertain it. Especially if what we could trade him for fixed a pressing need on our list. I know we consistently finish a mind-blowing 10th or lower most years, but I'm willing to risk that. I'm willing to lay finishing 10th on the line and be aggressive at the trade table. It's risky. Because what if we don't finish 10th? What if we get a silky mid or something? I've taken many hours and breaths into brown paper bags, and I've got my head around this idea.

I'd say the defenders of Loogie are perhaps more passion-clouded, shrill and therefore misguided than the critics of him, coming across as starstruck fangirls squealing in the front row for one dropped guitar pick, one hair follicle... One 'glide in from the side mark'.. One 'kick that is good'. You know. Passion is good and all. But seriously.

In my measured, balanced and therefore correct opinion, Hansen is a very good player who is tradeable for the right price.

You went all this time and I still disagreed that you're a bomber troll albeit an occasionally amusing one.

Then you come up with this. Seriously mate.

I wonder if * would consider Hansen + Bastinac for Crameri and Jetta?

Agreed, starting to think more and more that he's a *bombers troll. First bellchambers and now Crameri o_O

We could shop him around for an experienced strong marking courageous defender with passable footskills. Preferably one who plays for the team, is entering his physical prime, is around 197cm and has a very strong endurance base.

Know of anyone?

He wont take us places going ahead...Keys will though :eek:

Out: Hansen, Goldstein, Tarrant
In: Bellchambers, Crameri, Pears
1 scum player would be 1 scum player too many.

Why would we even want to deal with that shithole of an organisation?

Let them mire in their world of pain.

scum.

There was talk in this thread of changing Hansen, the 197cm 25 year old athletic beast that could have marked the Hindenberg if given a chance and the best some could come up with was Yarran?

What are you trying to say? Trying to discern some cryptic 'trade rumour' message. D. Swallow to NM? Two swallows, yeah? That must be it? Right?! What else could you possibly mean?! PM please. Please tell me NOW, what's going on? How does this relate to Hansen?

There can be only one...
I've often wondered what it feels like to be a false prophet of doom, what is it like when you vision is debunked?

Yeah so either my mail was wrong all together, or after Lachie's form in the second half of the year North didn't even consider seeing what he was worth any more. Either way I'm happy, Hansen is a part of the very bright future at North over the next few years. :thumbsu:

Does that mean we won't get Watson and/or Laidler? Bummer.

Hansen will go no firkin where! He has found his spot in the back half and he will sign a new deal before mid season. He would be extremely stupid to walk out on a team coming up to their premiership window for a bit more cash. I wouldn't even take picks 1 & 2 from GWS for Hansen to be honest.
