Reason #2: Three votes for Dan Hannebery

Hannebery’s round 10 performance against Hawthorn was one of the highlights of the 2010 season. Though the Swans went down in a nail-biting finish, Hannebery earned the three-Brownlow votes for his clear best on ground display.

The youngster claimed both the AFL and Swans Rising Star awards in 2010, and at just 19 years of age, the best is well and truly yet to come.
