Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Third rounder - Eh, I don't really mind.

Second Rounder - No thanks.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

We were into him prior to him signing his last contract.

When we like a player we usually continue tailing them. Every chance he'll be a Tiger.

Exactly my thoughts. Would be useful but would rather bring in youth with pick 2.

Yep. Can see us using white compo. Which would be a mistake IMO.

I really don't think there is going to be any White compo.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Voted no, no major reason why. Just hope the club is targeting.......I don't know, it's like that ad.......something better!
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

I'd like to see us target a more we'll rounded footballer , I'd hazard a guess we could snare one from the state leagues (ie Russ Gabriel) in the rookie draft. Low cost financially and low cost draft pîck.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

He'd be an upgrade on Derrickx, but only just and that's not worth using a 2nd rounder on. Be a waste of a pick.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Complete and utter no for the pure fact he is not a contributing player he just cannot play the game and cannot handle the ball.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

For a low cost sure. At most a 3rd rounder or pick we get for White.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Hampson is fine for a later draft pick. Certainly a step up from Derrickx.

His average game stats are fine, good mobility, 4-5 marks & 10-20 HOs a game, and kicks reasonably for goal.

Probably suffers selection blues (no pun intended) due to Warnock & Kreuzer already being there.

And he has a lovely looking girlfriend.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

I see no hope in him.

Always been an athlete trying to play football. Lacks footy smarts and has butter fingers. For a guy his size drops a lot of marks except when playing Richmond key defenders. Maybe why we like him.

Big no from me.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Yes from me
1. I think that the recruiting team have earned the benefit of the doubt with their efforts over the last few years;
2. I think that he could well end up spending more time in the ruck freeing up Ivan to spend more time in the forward line and I think that the Mullet will be quite handy down there as, whilst he is not massively mobile, he is a good set shot; and
3. I reckon he is coming into the right age group to have a decent impact in the ruck, with lots of precedents of people stepping up at this age (Jamar and Maric to name a couple) after being written off by forum experts as complete spuds
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Carlton never play fair.Want a first round pick for him.

Club is full of Ralph Carrs.

Oops I forgot Grigg.


;D
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

I cannot believe some posters are actually saying yes to recruiting this guy

Staggering, I must of missed the game where he played well, every game I've seen this guy play is hopeless

Hopefully we're only getting him for our vfl side. Rookie pick at best for me
