Yeah ‘hitouts to advantage’ is what you need to look at.

Last year Sandi had a record number of hitouts to advantage think it was 21 - we won by 104points - over rated..
:lol
And Robert Walls thought Sandilands, Fyfe and Neade were the three best players on the ground because we were smashed in clearances 22 to 44 when we played Freo at the G........



........we won by 77 points.  :rollin
The club that keeps giving.

Also to the opposition's advantage but they don't publish those.....  :shh

Brought a cafe in Kensington. More interested in latte art than the art of rucking these days.
Only tap work he's doing theses days is on the powdered chocolate canister when he's finishing  decorating a cappuccino

It’s actually in Ascot Vale
It’s called Ascot Food Store
Best cafe in the area
You should try it
Recommend the Confit Lobster Burger $22.50
It’s 👌
Coffee is great there as well

Interesting. You come across as a meat and three veggies type of guy.

Hampson calls time on AFL career

richmondfc.com.au
26 June 2018


Richmond ruckman Shaun Hampson has announced his retirement from AFL football, effective immediately.

The 30-year-old has been managing a chronic back condition for the past two seasons, and announced his retirement to the playing group earlier today.

Hampson crossed over to the Tigers from Carlton at the end of 2013, playing 35 games in the yellow and black, and 63 games for the Blues.

Originally from Mt Gravatt, Queensland, Hampson was selected at pick No. 17 overall in the 2006 National Draft.

Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme, thanked Hampson for his commitment to the Tigers.

“Shaun worked bravely and tirelessly to give himself the best chance to overcome this painful injury,” Balme said.

“There is ultimately a point where Shaun must think of his long-term health, rather than just the immediate challenge of playing football. It was clear to Shaun and our medical staff that he had reached that point.

“Shaun certainly loves his family and it was a very difficult decision for him to make.

“He is a very popular member of our squad and we thank him for his dedication to our football club.

“We wish Shaun, Megan and their children River and Rosie all the best for the future.”

This moneyball trade was a flop ....let's face it .

Who was our main ruckman in 2016
Who was our main ruckman in 2014 when we slipped to 3-10 .

At least he's very handsome.
