I'd play Jack Dyer's corpse before Hampson.

When did Hampson last play? It's a bit hard to take his spot when he isn't playing.

Chuck17.... Said replace Hampson with Elton. It's on the last page.
If Todd was to get a game he would have to take someone else's spot.
I hope that clears things up for you.

I've heard they like the experience and leadership he could bring to the list though.

Could definitely play a role.  :shh

Then why didn't you quote that post  - which btw,  was written nearly a month ago when he was playing in the seniors.....day after the Sydney game in fact... ?

hes athletic, takes a good grab, for his size id say quick, great size for a kpp 197/100 yet duds like vickery, hampson  and griffiths stop him getting a game. i know hes a junior but what the hell is going on here.
21 yo in what yr 3 with no real improvement to be seen. now that is the real concern. is it development, recruitment, or both.

we cant just sit back and keep players who show such little incremental improvement. geez yr 4 coming up and id want even my talls to be showing something. gottta keep him but ffs the alarm bells have to be ringing. another player we hope will make it instead of being able to say with some sort of certainty that yes he will be a decent player.

I reckon if we going to dig up anyone it should be the galloping gasometer mick Nolan - can we get him under unrestricted free agency?

I'm pretty sure he would have plenty of free time on his hands nowadays, although his condition might not be holding up the best.

And not sure how we would go when we show the AFL his Birth and Death certificates when we try to register him!

Looked exciting in his first year at the club.  Based on last weekends performance, delist.

would like to see him back (over chaplin) or ruck (over maric)

in the category where could look very silly to delist at this age - given what he could do in two/three years

Josh Bootsma, Adam Tomlinson, Jonathon Patton went ahead of him in the draft, not yet world class in their own right.
