Jackstar saw something 12 months ago. He said Richmond could win the premiership.

Obviously we didn't.....but there were times it legitimately felt within reach.

Ruckman are late developers

Hampson wins hitouts to advantage ...

Just needs to get around and compete more!

Are there facts to back this up?
He wins hitouts but to who's advantage?
I think it's a lottery with the rotten spud and he can't get around the ground to compete more because he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

In 2014 I found this stat..

"This year, he wins a hitout-to-advantage at 20.7 per cent of ruck contests he attends, which is ranked second only to Fremantle’s Aaron Sandilands, who achieves that feat at 21.4 per cent."

Propaganda EFC style.

If you're buying into him, then you're one of the idiots who keep paying the club the remain duds.

FFS. Someone asked for stats and I found some. Just because they don't agree with your point of view doesn't mean they're wrong.

I personally think Hampson is a spud of the highest order as a footballer but I do think when it comes to pure tap work he is the best we have at the club currently. Unfortunately he can't do anything else.

So just take your finger off the trigger and don't personally attack a poster who simply supplied stats that were asked for!

Sheeshhhhh!

Facts are Hampson is a very good tap ruckman

Shame there's more to do than that on gameday
