How Hansen finished the season
Hansen's resurgence as a marking defender continued in the second half of the year. He quickly became a pillar of North's defensive six, using his ability to read the play to cut off opposition forward 50 entries.
His efficiency by foot and hand showed a well-rounded game and made him dangerous. Not only were opponents fearful of his aerial ability, the number six also choose the right option to set up an effective rebound 50s.
