Maric at this stage is our number 1 ruckman. We were looking for a backup ruckman not a number 1 ruckman. McEvoy and Mumford are good players but both would have expected to be number one at the club. Hampson is the right age and hopefully will fulfil the role he was drafted to do- back up Maric. It would have been foolish to give up our first draft pick. That pick should be used to obtain the best possible young player at the time. If the right resources are put in the investment can pay off big time eg Vlas.

Way too early trading for Hampson!

Recruiting Hampson isn't a problem, gave too much for him.
