ST KILDA recruit Dan Hannebery will don the prestigious No.10 at his new club and is determined to prove to himself he can return to his peak.
Hannebery has been named an All Australian three times but suffered a form dip the past two seasons, having averaged 22 disposals through 38 games in that time.
The two years prior, he had picked up over 30 disposals per match.
Hannebery, who takes a jumper won previously by the likes of champion forward Bill Mohr, Brownlow medallist Neil Roberts, tough ruckman Carl Ditterich and most recently Nathan Freeman, told reporters he had set himself to lift his output.
“I’m probably the harshest critic of myself with my standards,” Hannebery said at RSEA Park on Thursday.
“No doubt I had a really good run up until the end of 2016, from a games perspective, and my form was pretty sound for a number of years.
“To have two down years was disappointing and I’ve got a point to prove to myself I guess, but certainly to the St Kilda boys, you’ve got to earn their respect first and foremost, and the coaches … and the supporters, and that’s the most important thing.
“I really want to try to get back to some really solid form, particularly early in the season, and go from there.”
