Hampson was bloody good last night and Hardwick completely stuffed up when he benched him. He was the difference in the ruck and he is always the difference with our center clearances as opposed to Maric.
Give credit where its due FFS. Hampson continually cops it here even when he really puts in the effort and performs.
Some of you have a go at me regarding Batchelor and Morris but at least I stand up and say when that they went ok last night. Get off the kill Hampson wagon and admit he was bloody good!!!
I let it go the first time you said it but when you repeat yourself you need to be pulled up. He wasn't benched, he was taking a rest. All players do it and need it. Agreed we lost momentum but you cannot blame Hardwick for guys taking a spell. It says more about how bad Vickery is in the ruck. Just pathetic.
At the most critical time of the game eh....just like last week when Vickery was benched after we had the momentum, pattern forming???
What about the move of Vlastuin to the backline when he was killing it in center, or Griff to the backline when he was killing it in the forward line?????
Come on mate, you are getting a bit excited.
All players need a rest at some stage in the quarter. Hampson had his and came back on to finish the game. And guess what!
With Vlastuin again, you cannot just be on the ball all night. You need to take a rest, sometimes on the bench and sometimes in another possition so someone else can take a rest.
And Griff was never "killing it" in the forwardline. He played a good game but let's not go to far.
