The Chicken Little season has begun.

Maybe it's the compo pick from White and McGuane that is on the table which is touted to be a end of second round pick.

That's my hope. If so I can wear the risk. But not for our only second round pick.

You're happy with this deal?

Has it been confirmed ? Do we know what the full deal is ? Have the current footy dept got it so wrong in the past that it's only natural to expect the worst ?

Everyone is going off half cocked declaring the end of the world when nothing has been confirmed even though our talent spotters have had an exceptional few years at their job.

But to answer your question, if the trade is as you believe then my first thought is that iVan must have some chronic injury clouds hanging over him.

What happened to "no short cuts" and "good skills"? Fallen by the wayside or this must be a pig of a draft.

Exactly what still rings in my head is dimma saying kicking mantra well that seems to have gone out the window...

And another thing i hate hearing from some ohh its a shallow draft ffs we hear this every year but gems seem to always be found especially in the first 3 rounds...Only hand out 1st or 2nd rounders on damn good players "hampson is not one of them"...
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

I have so much to say about this but I think three words is all that needs to be said: Danny Frawley era. :(
 
Re: Shaun Hampson Done Deal

2nd rounder is overs.

A third rounder is better. I could live with it.

He's very athletic but he can't kick for *smile*. He plays when Maric doesn't. He's ruck or bust.
 
Re: Shaun Hampson Done Deal

If Hampson is in does that mean the end for the Big O or does he stay on the rookie list - don't know that he has been offered another year or is it a matter of us having to re-rookie him if we want him for another year?

I agree with all u said, after receiving a few texts from some blues mates having a laugh i thought this was some cruel joke.
Longer, mummy to GWS did we inquire bout mummy? why not go hard on longer...
I would luv for hampson to prove me wrong but unfortunately ive seen enough of him and his dreadful kicking to feeling not overly confident that he can turn it around...

Is he going to be 1st ruck or 2nd ruck or is he simply going to replace Orren in the ressies me thinks the latter, a 2nd round pick :-[ im still picking myself up off the ground...

Hawks apparently giving up their buddy compo pick for longer and doubt we would pay mummy what GWS are paying him. We cannot compete on either front there.

So in essence handed the left overs
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

I'd would rather keep Orren on the list than recruit Hampson, but that said the recruiting staff must know far more than I do and I will have to back their judgement ... bt all my fingers are currently crossed that they have got it right.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

They cant be serious hampson for our second round..wtf.did the solarium spindoctor worm his way back at puntroad and become our list manager?...im speechless.
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

After the Dustin Martin shmozzle, nothing surprises me now!

It's Jordan McMahon, Jarryd Oakley-Nicholls, Richard Tambling all rolled into one!

Someone wake me up PPPLLLEEEAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: poll: Shaun Hampson

Happy to see how it pans out - the proof will be in the pudding. Good luck to Hampson in filling a clear list need. Fingers crossed.

Second round draft pick "way overs".
But apparently the market price, and given others sniffing around, our 3rd pick 45 ish perhaps wouldn't cut it.
And so onto whether he is "worth it".
The majority think not.
Richmond have a very clear need for a ruckman. And one ready to go in 2014.
Is he better than the big O? No question. And 5 years younger as well, so potential to be around for a while.
Is there someone better out there in state leagues? Possibly. But Hartley obviously thinks not.
I don't think he is the messiah but in tandem with Maric, could be effective.
And if he comes to Richmond will put pressure on Vickery to compete for his spot and lift his game, which is only a good thing.


I think I read logical posts are not permitted during trade time, consider this a warning, keep it up and you may well get kicked off the site ;)

Gone the panic button a bit early guys!
Deal not done yet & if it has been it's recruiting for a need, which we have & our strike rate has been ok of late.

Shaun Hampson may turn out to be the biggest dud since our last biggest dud but even if he does the world has not ended!

'Clear list need'. This being the key phrase.
I see the logic in this trade because I think the club has serious doubts on Maric's groin and Vickerys ability to assume the number one ruck mantle. Both genuine concerns IMO and we are ready to push hard NOW.

Still 2nd round seems a little high despite that. Think we saw him tear Post and Griff a new one in one too many rnd 1 games!

In Blair we trust..
