What a ridiculous high risk strategy that would be to mortgage our pic 11 on a kid that averages 2 kicks and 1 mark a game. Any while we re at it why not put the balance of our ftg funds on the roulette wheel. No thanks. Hampson has a Ton of ability and under the tutelage of renowned ruck whisperer Brendan lade he is in the best place possible to peak his fledgling career ![:shh :shh](http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/Smileys/default/shh.gif)
oh dear. you havent even seen longer play have you bo.
as a pure ruckman hes shown as much as ruckman in the afl just two yrs in. yeah its a small sample size just 9 games but he looks a beauty already.
hmm pick 11 on a 20yr old ruckman who was a highly rated junior hence he went at pick 8 in 2011 who has shown he belongs already. in just 9 games he averages over 20 h/o a game and he competes real well. he takes good marks and most of his possesions are contested. just 9 games yes he could find a bit more ball but we all know that will come as he matures.
thing is after just 9 games hes getting it just over 7 times a game your boy hampson after a whopping 7yrs averages just 8 possesions.
yep we could really take that risk with pick 12
or use pick 12 on a 18yo kid in the nd who has none of this to judge him by.
look i realise your acting the goat acting like the bringer of all things good at richmond but now and then you have to use just a bit of common sense or people are just gunna ignore you bud.
