Shaun Hampson / Hammertime [merged]

[Diocletian]

Problem is his "good" games are only compared to his other games, when in reality they're at best just the bare minimum you'd expect from an AFL ruckman, particulary one of ten years experience.

Exactly. 

[WA Tiger]

Having a very good year, very good tap ruck and we would be lost without him. He is now a goal kicker as well.

[Yeahright]

Kicked a rare goal and he's suddenly a goal kicker

Notice after he kicked the goal he lost his man not long later and their ruckman kicked the answering goal? He's stuffing pathetic. Nicholls also managed to put in a few 2nd/3rd efforts and netted himself 6 tackles. But as long as the big gumby gets a couple hit outs it's all good

Well done to Hampson!! Keep up the very good year and get your contract extended.

I think that the belief that a ruckman standing by watching with his his hands on his hips after the ruck contest is "doing his job", shows just how little some understand the game and what is required of those that pull on the guernsey.

Not just doing his job but "very good" apparently

[WA Tiger]

Each to their own and argue all you want, he is still in the side and will continue to be while he is doing what he is doing, which is providing a service to the team that he has been instructed to provide. So like it or lump it, you are not on the match committee, he is in the team and that's that!!

He was very good at standing by watching with his hands on hips, admittedly. probably best on the ground at it.

I think that is a fair point. He took some marks around the ground which was pleasing to see and kicked a goal when he had to under pressure which was good. For the amount of taps he gets I think we should be getting more benefit out of his dominance of the taps and it is an area I think he needs to really improve on.

[Willy]

He's been OK. We need a better ruckman though.

Yes we do, and a better 3-4 more players on top of that.
