It's getting monotonous how often he does that and I'm surprised the commentators gave him the pump. Thank **** it wasn't Cometti in the box as it wouldn't have even got a mention.
Watching that back I was getting nervous they wouldn't give it fair dues. Was out of my seat at the game.

Commentators on SEN were too flabbergasted by the fact he grabbed it to give him a wrap for it. Took them a while to process what had happened.

Your act is getting exceedingly tired.
Didnt know I had one..........I stated I thought Hansen had been ordinary thus far this season (along with others) but also said he took some nice grabs on Sunday (yes I was there).
It's called an opinion. Seriously, what is your problem?

Most likely your constant trolling of Hansen.

Your opinion of Hansen is always ridiculously critical. That is your 'act' and its getting tired. you very rarely add anything except for constant Hansen bashing.

I have to own up to be a massive critic of Hansen when he played up forward, but I love the big bloke as a defender. He has really found his spot on the half-back line - and is turning into one of my favourite players.

Hansen needs to punch when he is 3 rows back, he is trying to take those marks of the year which are low probability and failure can be costly.
True, but remember that marking is his only real weapon, and he plays at his best in general play when his marks are sticking. It's very important for him to catch a few early in the game, and then his field kicking, intensity and confidence are generally better for it. For that reason I am ok with him going for a mark when perhaps it's better to punch.

I'd say his work rate and even his kicking (for a guy pushing two metres) are weapons.
