Damn Hannebery

Post: # 1963963Post Sainternist »

Where is Damn Hannebery’s progress currently at?

Will he ever play another game for St.Kilda? Knowing our luck, he’ll go back to Sydney next year for a packet of chip and play full season.

It’s just insane that this guy is taking up a spot on our list. Imagine getting paid $4million for playing just 15 games. We have been absolutely fleeced!! 🤮

Said it at the time.
You can't cure old.

Hanners injuries are old old man injuries. He was cooked when he arrived.

Please someone shoot the next person who suggests that our doctors can fix the next 'medical experiment' when they say 'we can get him right'
We have a very long list of failures.

Surely the worst value-for-money recruit in club history. Probably AFL history.

A huge gamble, a complete bust, and the guy who rolled the dice just got a promotion.

That's our club, people/

Saw this and could not help reposting from my match review thread comment.

For years we have been crying for a gun, tough midfielder to help Steele. There were a number of options but Lethlean decided to throw the cheque book and an incomprehensible 5 year contract on a cooked player in the later part of his career.
I reiterate that well-run, successful clubs DON'T do that. Herein lies the failure of this club to get ahead with long-term damaging decisions such as the Hannebery signing.
Additionally, it's like a cancer across the list when young players need to be guided and inspired on-field by such players, yet see him week in week out, for several years now, doing rehab!
The fact that Lethlean with a questionable past history has been allowed to control our club to the level he has already, has NOT been held accountable for an utterly atrocious decision and will become our next CEO, beggars belief and typifies the basket-case nature of the St Kilda football club.

What is so hard about drafting topline young midfielders?
We've had top 10 draft picks year after year ... and totally ignored the best midfielders.

We make the easy hard ... then are forced to take unnecessary risks to make up.But you never make up for inexcusable oversights.

It's not only Lethlean - but the fish does smell from the head ... it typifies our club.

Any one of us could run the club better and recruit/draft better.

The main thing is that he is still getting paid


St Kilda should never trade with Essendon and Sydney ever again!!!

Many at the time called it crazy (here and in the media), why give such a long and rich contract to a player literally no other club was chasing?? No one has been held accountable.

Every draft I call to grab the best midfielder available (modern AFL is a midfielders game) but we continue to pick flankers and ‘prospects’

Fans are wishing we go out and trade for B King at the expense of a number of FRDPs, which should be used on elite mids!

Crazy.

Shouldn't be on the list now. Too old, too beat up, and legs full of chronic injuries.
