Past players - what are they up to?

[Roadrunner]

Sad end for Hanners. I have a framed picture of a mark he took in the 2012 GF on display in my home. A premiership player for us - that makes him a Swans legend!

Love Dan- top player, top guy, a true Swan who was taken out in a horrible way in the 2016 GF and never really recovered. A favourite of Swan supporters and a truly fair player with talent to spare from a very early age.
All the best Hanners- thank you for the memories!

Loved him. One of my favourite Swans in 30 years of watching them. Elite inside and out, one of the best in the game for a four/five year stretch and his 2012 grand final performance was one for the ages.

Outside that game, a few favourite memories:

* seeing him debut as a schoolboy!!

* the night at the SCG in 2013, when Ryan Crowley was at the absolute peak of his powers as the best tagger and just about the best endurance runner in the game, and sidled up to Hanners. It was no contest. Hanners damn well burned him to the ground with superior running power, and had something close to 30 possessions and four goals.

* and this contest and game always sticks in my mind. It was 2011, and a preview of the mark he'd take in front of THAT pack in the 2012 grand final. Most blokes who cop that would be done for the night. He just kept chugging away: SwansTV: Hannebery shows courage at its finest - YouTube

A total gun. We were blessed to see him play.

Nice....but a slap in the face of his Saints team mates. Maybe one from each team? Membrey and Joey?

Membrey and Sam Reid, one of his 2012 teammates who’s played in Hanners’ last game.

I was at that game with my sister and niece. Surrounded by Bomber fans, all screaming their heads off. Disappointed when Goodesy missed the shot on goal, but it was an absolute cracking game, and probably meant we all got out alive!

I remembered this too - the club made sure he got a good farewell when it was clear the trade was going to happen, and he spoke wonderfully.

Joey with the torn hamstring?
.

Maybe Joey can sit on Papley's shoulders to take the pressure of the hammy.

I remember in his first year he played a game at Marvel stadium, (maybe against Carlton?), and when he came on he started on the wing. The opposition player was a pest and kept bumping into him. Hanners just pushed him to the ground as if he was swatting a fly.

This might be a St Kilda video but it's all Swans highlights of Dan at his best. What a player!

The title didn't age too well unfortunately.

Very impressive. Definitely a Swan for life.

Probably safer than sitting on the Lizard's.

Fantastic.

Sorry for those guys, especially McPherson. It sounds like Blakey is safe.
