Play Vicks in the ruck and Griff as second ruck.

lets do what has already failed as poor as hampson has been id have him in the ruck over vickery every day of the week. talk about out of the frying pan into the fire.


When was Vicks our number 1 ruck?

Here here Gig

He should never play again

Big O, Vicks and Graham poo on him as a ruckman

Claw watch his tap outs yesterday, see where they landed

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Although I understand your point Angus, I reckon our mids need to be a bit smarter with how they set up at times. By now they should have some sort of clue as to how this bloke taps the ball. they way they set up at times you'd think it's the very first time they've worked together

When maric Griff Tyrone all fit

 Hampson should be no where near senior team

Even now - should be Tyrone and griff

I dont know whose decision it was to hand Carlton pick 32 for this bloke but seriously they must have been on the pee at Punt Road when they were making that decision. We could have had Robertson or one or two others instead.

I understand that people can't help looking back but I'm afraid it doesn't help matters.
We need to plan properly for the future.  That starts with selection against Melbourne.  Miles must come in and so too Griff.

These days with limited interchange a ruckman needs to be able to fulfill an around the ground role in order to take some of the load off other players. Hampson simply doesn't offer this so is pretty much a liability should there be a period of open play where no ruck contests are required. This is why Maric has been Yessuch a huge loss for the start of the season.

Good in the ruck contest, pretty poor around the ground.
Overall I thought he was a reasonable contributor yesterday. Neither good nor bad, just mediochre.

His marking is a concern which rules him out playing forward when Ivvy returns to full match fitness (assuming he does..).
If that eventuates it's back to the twos for Shaun with Maric sharing the duties with Griff/Vickery.

The problem with Hampson is no motivation to win. When we lose he ends up going home and being consoled by supreme hotness.
We need to replace Megan with a fish wife STAT!! If we can pull this off, his only joy will come from winning footy games and having celebratory drinks with the lads.

Brad Miller also suffered from this problem.

Funny.  Iwas thinking of asking the mods if we can change this title to "Re: Shaun Hampson Officially a Spud" :lol
