He noted that Hanley began to celebrate, then composed himself as if knowing there was much still to do. The second of his two third-quarter goals – streaming through the 50-metre arc – struck Johnson as the one that got the Lions going. ![]() Now, Michael Voss can back his man to go forward and have an impact, just as he did on Saturday. Johnson sees a typical progression of the "foreign" footballer, from a back-line apprenticeship where the game's structures can be learnt as they unfold before the novice's eyes. "That's where you make your improvement." "The last couple of pre-seasons he's been in our top three for workrate as well," the coach says of a player who was never a "tearaway", but who through mental as much as physical growth now leaves nothing on the training track in summer. The other spike in a player O'Donnell calls "robust" comes from a simple sign of football maturity that can't be underestimated. Ironically for someone so adept at hoofing long, Johnson says an early challenge was cutting back on the short kicks ingrained by his Gaelic football upbringing, replacing them with handballs and making his "one-two" work of giving, running hard to get it back, and thumping long a powerful yardage-gaining tool out of defence. ![]() O'Donnell says a Hanley strength now, 70 games into a surely long career, is his deft touch, the brain sending just the right message to the boot, resulting in a sublime judgment of distance. Johnson recalls a quick kicking transition once Hanley stopped concentrating too hard and let instinct take over, and a knack for roosting this new-fangled footy a long way that took the coaching department by surprise, in a "he's never touched the thing, and now he can do that?" kind of way. In fact, Hanley leads the Lions for effective kicks and is third for effective long kicks (he's also Brisbane's 2013 leader in uncontested possessions, inside-50s and bounces). "You wouldn't believe that, because he'd be in our best three kicks now," O'Donnell says. He played AFL football within nine months of first touching a Sherrin, progress the former Bomber captain finds all the more staggering for the anecdotes he's heard of a teenager who understandably struggled initially with the oval ball when he arrived at the Gabba. O'Donnell was still at Essendon when Hanley became an international rookie in season 2008. ![]()
