Shaun Hampson / Hammertime [merged]

[Jackstar 1960]

Played ok Hammer tonight

If only we had two of him, hell why not three: one for the forward line, one for the back line and one to ruck.

It would be an orgasmical delight

Better option than Ivan 😉
Or should we get Angus Graham back from WA ,😜😜😜

[Jackstar 1960]

Hey Chuck , how did Ivan go tonight ?
Oh I forgot , he got dropped 😂😂😂

[Stalin]

maric is broken due to getting flogged for years instead of being well managed by the club - resting him, getting another ruck whos not an idiot to support him, play him forward more, not play him with injuries

hampson, being better than a broken down maric is not a glowing endorsement

[Yeahright]

Effing LOL at ripping into Maric now. Everyone saw he was on a slide even 2 years ago and it still took Hampson this long to arguably be the better player

[Francois Jackson]

His done everything he had to Ivan and gave it his all

it's not his  fault the imbeciles at the club chose not to draft in some help for him

Hampson please. He plays at a VFL most weeks but they will extend his contract as that's the Richmond Way.

[WA Tiger]

Hampson went well last night.

Well it's taken five years but if you are finally at peace with things that's good I suppose

Watched the replay twice after the game
Seriously we got the centre clearances ,
Why ?
Hammertime
Credit where it's due
Tap work is really good and creates a contest

I don't think his tap work has been the issue Jack, it's the rest of his game that sucks.
Like you said he gave our mids first use which is his primary job so good on him.  It also helps when Dimma puts half decent mids in the middle.

Question for you Jack, would you give him a contract extension? If so how long? And if so, do we not try and trade another decent ruckman in? I.e.- Longer, Nichols??

[Jackstar 1960]

We just need a ruckman who gives us a contest
Last night proved that are onballers are good when given first use of ball
Goldstein is a freak
We just need ball brought to ground and to our advantage
Hammer gives us that at the moment

You didn't answer the question

I'm not jack but I will attemp to answer BT.

No, but we might have to because the idiots that run list management haven't a clue that we needed more ruck options 3 seasons ago. We should most definitely be trading for any available ruckman that can do more than just tap the ball.
Hopefully Maric returns to form and we don't have to see the spud again but I'm not holding my breath as I think his body is stuffed.
Hopefully we can trade the spud for a decent second rounder now that everyone thinks he's an awesome player.

Yep, always has been that way ,he is actually a decent tap ruck.

[Yeahright]

We need more than that and Hammer just doesn't bring it. How often does he a) run under the ball or b) stick his arms up and drop the mark. Last night I even saw him go up for a mark and he was looking down at the ground he was that scared of contact

All I seen was he tapping to advantage more often than not

5 possessions. 4 effective.  1 mark.    
lets not expect too much from a ruckman at Ruchmond.

I must say I did like his one clearance for the night. More of that please Spud.
