Wowee big boy obviously the better ruckman, but it would have cost us at least pick 12 so to be fair we should only compare bang for buck.

The other comparison we could make could be Hampson + 12 vs McEboyohboy + 28 (31)

Lets not forget his player payments would be near enough to double

statistically they stack up pretty well, with hampson taking more contested marks per game.
McEvoy poos on him in terms of disposal efficiency though

To be honest they are both compleaty different player types, Hampson is more the athletic ruckman who plays (not rests) forward while McEvoy is you big strong body'd first ruckman type.
In the grand scheme of things the Hampson is the player type we need at the moment, McEvoy would compeat for a spot in the side with Maric as they are pretty unless you were willing to lay both together which would be ludicrest in this day and age.
Lets see what the pick we gave (28) up brings down the track, that the only way to tell weather we have made the right move or not.

even then, success or bust, who is to say we would have taken the same player had we kept the pick?

Agree. McEvoy is a top ruckman. If he came to the club he would be the number one ruckman. There is not enough room for Maric and McEvoy in the side with how the game is played presently. To get him the Hawks had to give up a high draft pick and a player who is not a complete dud. Further the Saints will get the Hawks compo pick for Buddy. We didn't have enough trade bait to get him and it would have been madness to give up our first round pick for him

That is a shock with the marks. Hampson would poo on him in the ruck too. McEvoy is very good around the ground mark. Big Hammer.  :bow
