Here's a question. If we didn't sign Hampson who is our ruck ? We rely on getting a competitive ruck over the off season ? Good signin imo. Should be looking for someone better but he is a good back up

Hammer's signing represents everything this club has done wrong for 30+ years. 
One year deal, fine.  Gives a chance to bring in another ruckman. Two years is a joke.  It really is. 
I admit he's been solid this year but he's been on a list for 10 years and had 2 OK one's??
I dunno, maybe they don't see a trade for one this year?? Who know's but year to year for Hammer would have been the way to go IMO.

This. Club is in danger of making a bad season even worse.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Lloyd sure.

Hampson just shows how moronic and in denial these so called club leaders are.
2 years. Lol.
I love NOT supporting these losers.

To give Hammer two more years is an endorsement by the club that he will be the number one ruck.

Somehow I don't expect the tiger faithful to be happy with this decision.

Don't have to worry about finding a ruck now. 
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

The smart play would have been a 1 year contract for Hampson.
Absolutely no need for 2 years.
Was he going somewhere??

Sound familiar??

Rival clubs were circling. Balwyn offered him big money, for example.

A decision of little choice in regards to Hampson, no doubt Maric will retire and beyond that we only have project players in reserve.

Lloyd hasnt done too much wrong so deserves another couple of seasons. Is a regular contributor and seems a very driven type character who will do what it takes to become a better player.
So why two years with both. Both are battlers and i reckon a smart recruiter would be able to replace both fairly cheaply.
1 year for both, as others have said the other options are non existent and both would be decent depth if we managed to cover the areas in trades or even nd.
Last time i looked depth players get one yr deals and they play out of their skins to get a gig.
