LMAO

Can't even make depression references on here now. 

[WA Tiger]

I am not talking about the 50 meters or the free kicks, I am talking about how bad he is, he is too slow, cant read the play. he is a mile behind it.

Must be gone at years end.

LMAO, thats what every one is saying about about hampson and you are swinging off his nuts like he is in brownlow form.

flabbergasting, much

I have said Hampson is doing what he has to, he is doing a good job, as I have said before, he is not the long term answer but at the moment he is all we have. I hope that settles it for you once and for all.

No it's not good enough! How could you even think this is when I for one thought you to be less of an apologist than most. You may be right about Batchelor but your way off the mark here. Just because he's the only option doesn't mean that he doesn't need to do more than just tap the ball. It's unacceptable and mediocre to suggest he's doing a good job as he just isn't doing enough and what he is doing is still substandard, pathetic & dumb.
Your beginning to sound like Bojo when discussing this Spud.

Who in the team can do better???? So much bagging of him with absolutely no alternative suggestion.

[Lozza]

He does make errors but honestly when he first came into the side after being drafted he was one of our better users of the ball. I think what people have to remember is that he has had his fair share of injuries and hasn't had an extended run of games to regain his touch and conditioning.

I think he can still play a part and at only 24 next month he can be one of the core group of experienced players working along side the up and coming younger players that Hardwick is belatedly introducing.

He is no doubt a much maligned player but I am confident he will be a better player next season assuming he isn't part of some trade in the off season and he has no further injuries.

That's a seperate issue that highlights the ineptitude of the whole footy department including list management, recruiting & coaching staff.
The fact that no one could do better at this moment doesn't change that fact that the Spud is just a crap player despite his "improvement".

He is the best we have at the moment whichever way you look at it and thats it.

[Diocletian]

Thread's about one of our useless midfielder/hbf's not our useless ruckman....

[Go Richo 12]

Let's just have one mega thread, the theme is all the same.

[WA Tiger]

Not a bad idea considering the crap we have in the team.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Contract status?

In other words, one of those guys who never really has had his poo together....and it shows.

Sorry but no moref kn excuses for these list clogging b graders, of which he is the king.
You dont just become a standout player when your entire career has been one of inconsistencies but
"you did a couple of things"
Cut the losses and cut him.

Reece is the word

Richmond has snared gun West Australian midfielder, Reece Conca, with its first selection in the 2010 AFL National Draft.

The Tigers’ Recruitment Manager, Francis Jackson, had no hesitation in reading out Conca’s name at tonight’s (Thursday, November 18) Draft, held on the Gold Coast.

Conca had been penciled in by the Tigers as their No. 1 Draft choice for several months.

The 18-year-old, from WAFL club Perth, had thoroughly convinced Tiger talent scouts he was their man at the No. 6 selection overall in the Draft, due to his excellent all-round football skills, versatility, and impressive leadership qualities.

In 2010, Conca was vice-captain of the WA team at the under-18 National Championships, and he was considered unlucky not to be named as an All-Australian.

At WAFL level, he worked his way up from Perth’s colts team to senior ranks late in the season and had an immediate impact, highlighted by a best-on-ground performance in just his fifth game, against ladder leader Claremont.

“We’ve been very keen on Reece since Round 1 of the WAFL this year.  I saw him (in the colts) against East Fremantle, where he had 35 touches and dominated,” Jackson said.

“All-up, he played only seven colts games this year, one in which he was injured, yet still managed to finish equal sixth in the competition’s Jack Clarke Medal, after six best-on-ground performances.

“He’s just such a well-rounded player.  He’s got high endurance, really good speed and outstanding lateral movement and awareness.  I’m sure that his peripheral awareness, and understanding of what’s happening around him, is a direct result of him playing soccer up until the age of 13.

“Not only does he win a lot of the ball, he’s a very, very good user of it.  Out of all the kicking profiles that we’ve done, his is the best.  He can take a good mark, his decision-making is outstanding, and his ability to win one-on-one footy, as well as win outside footy, is just a joy to watch.

“We’ve tracked his progress closely all year, watched him play live every game, and he doesn’t appear to have any weaknesses.

“I’m sure when Tiger supporters look at his highlights’ package on our website, they’ll realise why we’re so delighted to have picked him up.”

Conca’s intelligence is not merely confined to the football field . . .

“He has been doing a commerce/psychology degree at Trinity College in Perth, but he deferred this semester,” Jackson said.

“We gave all our psych tests from the Draft Combine at the end of the season to the Club’s psychologist, Kim Stephens.  He didn’t know any of the players - all he had was 30 names, with 30 psych profiles for different tests - and Reece came out No. 1.

“So, he’s the complete package . . . an outstanding kid."

Jackson had a nervous wait along the way, fearing one of the clubs with selections before Richmond early in the Draft, would take Conca.

“He had an ankle injury later in the season and subsequently had a bit of a bone spur removed through surgery, which meant he missed the last two rounds and the Colts finals - but I was more than happy with that,” Jackson said.

“We even had to hide our interest from former Richmond player, Brian Leys, who is the CEO of Perth, because we were so keen on him and didn’t want other clubs finding out.”

Trade to a WA club. If we're lucky we'll get a third rounder…..

I would be playing Griffiths and McBean before Hampson
