Hannebery Round 2 Rising Star!

[Damien]

According to the rules you need to have played no more than 10 games the previous year (and be under 21), Nic Nat played 10 or 11 I think last year, so maybe isn't eligible.

Well done Hanners though

Jetta to destroy Richmond this week to get his nom? Those blistering runs down the SCG wing will be breathtaking!

I'd like to see that!

[Big Al]

Cool. First one since Bevo!!!

Short memory Scott - Jessie White round 22 last year!

Keiren Jack also got one in 2008

Me thinks old age is catching up...

[DeadlyAkkuret]

We have something very special on our hands here people

"...He represented Vic Metro in the 2000 NAB AFL Under 18 Championships"

If I was a smartarse I would say something like "big effort for a 9 year old!"

Cheers

Woohoo, go Hanners!!!!!

I just love this kid and the way he plays. I was stunned after the Saints game that everyone on here wasn't oozing over his display in the ressies, but I'm wrapped that the ones that matter noticed, rewarded him and now he has gotten what he truly deserves.
If he keeps this form going throughout the season, I think he'll really be in with a shot at taking it out.

We did Jewels, go read the ressie link!

[Primmy]

Goood boy, very happy indeed. And daylight second.

I wouldnt put it past him.

Remember watching his first game in reserves and within ten minutes he stood out like the proverbial dogs . . .

As an SCG member who needs to get in early to get a good seat and front of the queue at the bar, this one grabbed my attention like no one since Adam Goodes was a gangly athletic type roaming around in 98.

He is a very pure footballer, young Dan.

Nice story, except his first game was at ANZ.

But agreed, it was obvious very early he had something special.

In all fairness I don't think he was saying he saw it at the SCG, I believe he was highlighting his SCG membership as a reason that he's watched a lot of reserves footy.

[i'm-uninformed2]

Kinda - I was saying the first time I saw him was at the SCG, as opposed to when he might have had his first game.

Either way, I put my beer down and watched him almost to the exclusion of the game he was playing in.

[chalbilto]

Excellent news!

Assume Barlow (Freo variety) is too old?

Yes.

[stellation]

Either way, I put my beer down and watched him

Alright, now that is a hell of a lot more shocking than it was the most exciting performance in 11 years!

[Kirkari]

Handy Dan! What a star.

[smasher]

Well done Hanners!!!!
