Shaun Hampson / Hammertime [merged]

[WA Tiger]

How old is he?

I would back this recruitment.

[Simonator]

How old is he? I've always liked him, but uh, what will happen to Vickery? Maric, Stephenson and Vickery never all played in the same team, did they?
Vickery as third tall?

I recon he is a good get, knee issues are worrying.

[tiga]

Do we need another plank who is no good below his knees? We need an agile Ruckman like Ryder. I think the future is quicker, shorter ruckman that possess an elite vertical leap. Slow planky tap ruckman will be the next AFL dinosaurs.

just no

Carlton Recruiting Manager:

Rogers: Richmond has shown the most interest (in Shaun Hampson). We've had some interest from other clubs

This discussion is starting to read like the thread regarding the recruitment of Maric....

We all know the end result to that story.

Has more of a Trent Knobel feel

Hampson is better now than Knobel ever was.

[Judge Roughneck]

Only against Richmond

Doesn't do a lot vs good teams

[TigerMonk]

if they think he can do the job required then get him

I don't know how bad his knee(s) are, but one of his strengths is his speed and agility for a big man. Is not a 3rd fwd type, is definitely a ruckman first. Can only recall one opportunity in his career where hes had a decent run at 1st ruck and did quite well.

He's 25 turning 26 march next season

[dwaino]

Can't kick a set shot to save his life but a pretty decent overhead mark and is athletic for a big bloke. Wouldn't mind him but what would the asking price be? Probably too much if he's contracted.

I'm prepared to give up Steven Verrier

stuffing hell Gerks, ease up, don't go plonking your max offer down straight out like that, low ball em first then work up to it.
