    Seriously? Seen it a stack of times and would rate it as a stronger part of his game. Certainly better than his kicking.

    Hannebery v Hurley in 2011 surely still resides somewhere in your memory...

      My replay highlights were the the number of smothers we did. We were prepared to put our bodies low and in front of the kicker. Anyone have smother stats?

        Repeat instances of intentionally dropping back was the point that I was making. There have been a few times this year (and last) where I have seen Hannebery not drop back as hard (and he is not a big bloke, so it is understandable to a large degree). Either way, I was full of praise for his effort and bravery in the GF.

          I'm with Triple B on this one. Hanners has consistently shown remarkably courage and toughness for one so young. He's taken a number of highly memorable marks going back with the flight, or where he knew he was going to get crunched from behind. And while there may be some examples, I can't recall any times where he didn't go as hard as he might in a contest he had a decent chance of influencing.

            That is fine, Liz - it looks like you and Triple B had consistently noticed a part of Dan's play differently than I had until the GF. He has been a very good player for the Swans and has been very hard and tough at the ball since the beginning. I just had not made the mental note of his dropping back in marking contests throughout games (one-off incidents aside). As I said, I was full of praise for his game (my comments were not meant to be a slight on his previous performances).
