NEWS: Shrugging off suggestions that he is hampered by persistent groin injury, Ashley Hansen was a major architect of the win over Carlton in round 14, pulling in nine marks and 19 possessions with a goal to boot, providing a consistent marking target across half forward. | This is much more like the Hansen that fantasy coaches want to see. Admittedly he didn't have much opposition in this game, so this form might be a bit misleading. However, strong-marking centre half forwards are highly valuable in fantasy football, so keep him in your team. | |||

NEWS: Ashley Hansen took a knock early in the game against Melbourne in round 13 and could not get into the play after that, finishing with only four possessions. | The persistent rumours about Hansen playing with injury look to be true.

NEWS: Ashley Hansen provided some very useful link play across half-forward in the Eagles' win over Richmond in round 11, although he didn't exactly monopolise the ball with only 11 disposals, six marks and two points. | Hansen is obviously a class centre-half-forward, but he just doesn't get enough of the pill at this stage of his development to make him as attractive to fantasy coaches. | |||
