Good to see people filling the "irrelevent political rants in football threads" void left by Judge.
It was the most relevant example of someone inspiring irrational hatred I could think of.  People of all political persuasions, and genders tell me they want to slap his face and that they wouldn't tire of it...
Lots of people name their swords......

Maybe the blokes from the moustache parade up in Sydney were keen on that.  Pyne might like it.

Welcome back Hammer. You have been sorely missed pal

In all seriousness I don't think Maric has has a great year so a week off might do him well. This is Hampson's one and only chance to do something right for the million dollars he is getting paid.
Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Probably not a bad idea at all to play Hampson against Kreuzer and Wood IMO.

Hopefully not suspended tho...

Not a good idea

So if Maric is suspended, and Griffiths is injured, and you want play Hampson, we're going to expect Vickery to win the ruck against both Kreuzer and Wood?

Assisted by... who exactly?

If Maric and Griff don't play then we MUST play Hampson with Vickery as the relief. We also need to consider playing either McBean or McKenzie to play tall FWD.

I still don't think Vickery + Griffiths VS Kreuzer + Wood is a good idea.

Vick and Griff are backup rucks. Kreuzer and Wood are both genuine rucks. Would be asking for trouble IMO.

IMHO...


Vick and Ben  > Vick and griff and Shaun

It is better to win the ruck or have an extra small rotation? Will wood actually beat Griff or Tyrone? He was working for nova not long ago ffs

Kreuzer is a gun forward, as much as he is a ruck

Regardless it look like 100% Hampson  this week  :neener :neener

You would need Griffiths and Vickery to ruck/FWD all day with almost zero interchange.

If you put one on the bench and another in the ruck then we have Jack all by his lonesome in the F50, and we know how they worked out don't we? Two or three blokes on him every week because he's the only tall FWD we have. That's why we play three talls now - so when Maric gets a break and Vickery/Griff go into the ruck we're not down to a singular KPF.

If we don't play Hampson then we need McBean or McKenzie to come in and play KPF with Jack.


As for Kreuzer being a 'gun forward' you must be joking? He's kicked a massive 58 goals in 110 games. He's bagged 3 goals 3 times in his career. Hardly a world-beater.

In fact Grigg has kicked considerably more goals than Kreuzer since coming to RFC in 2011 lol.

I like the idea of McBean or Mckenzie plus Vickery / Griffiths

Much more than Hampson

Kreuzer has done his knee 3 time or something unlucky. If he stays fit you will not laugh at him to long. I'd be over the moon to have him at punt rd  :pray

How many goals has kreuzer kicked vs richmond in how many games? Certainly feels like a lot

9 games
5 goals
4 behinds
200 hitouts

However Carlton has beaten RFC 8 of those 9 games, which is why it makes you wonder probably...
