HAMPSON = SPUD!! I have always thought this. He looks so goofy when he goes for a mark, not to mention his kicking. I remember everyone last year talking about "hammer Time!" This guy is a joke. He should do track and field cos that is all he would be good at... Kreuzer cannot come back fast enough!!! I would prefer Setanta as a forward / ruck option... He may be slightly behind Hampson in tapwork but he'd do a hell of a lot more around the ground!
INS: Ellard, Lucas, Armfield, Setanta, Bower
OUTS: Collins, Hampson, Henderson, Carazzo, Betts (these 5 players were USELESS on the weekend)
Waite, Walker and Setanta as key forwards. Bower, Jamo and White as key backs and let our tough smaller brigade run riot....
Make a stand Ratts - "NO PASSENGERS"
My feelings on Hampson. I've had enough of waiting for him to star. It just doesn't look like it. He is a dud it appears. Weight of expectation, self-impsosed pressure. He doesn't know where to run to, he has no idea at the moment. I like to see him come good but he has let me down one too many times.
You guys need to do some research on the improvement curve of ruckmen, in particular our last 2 good ruckmen...Matthew Allan and Justin Madden.
Both struggled until they turned 24, Dean Cox...All-Australian for the first time at 24.
Warnock has just turned 24 and only now starting to play good consistent football.
Hampson just turned 23.
It turns around pretty quickly.
