i won 10 bucks saying he'd miss :)
I predicted it to the missus as well. Ol' Cymbal Hands has Marocca's for feet as well. With him, Morris and to a lesser extent *smile* in the team we are 3 players down from the get go.
 
Nah, come on fellas. Remember that game he played well last year?
He can perform......he just needs to do it again....he's due....

Seriously, I know he's the only alternative as a "ruckman" after Ivan (which is an indictment on the club) but you may as well just have Kmac pinch hit and to take the hit outs and try and nullify their ruck and at least get an extra body on the field who can get the ball and do something with it.

8 possessions from him, (3, 0, 2, 3). 2 kicks 6 handballs @ 62% Disposal efficiency. 50metres gained!
24 HO with 7 to advantage (29% HOTA)

And not to mention missing that sitter in front of goal.....

Just like Morris, enough is enough. These 2 aren't AFL standard players and you effectively go into a game 2 players short.
 
He does well at the hit outs, but has absolutely no presence around the ground, although he did take one nice mark last night, however failed to kick the goal, which could have just about sealed the match.

Bloke finds a bottle and a genie pops out and grants him 3 wishes

1. I want big money contracts at two huge footy clubs
2. I want to be tall, athletic and good looking
3. I want to marry a supermodel.

What a waste, thinking with the little hammer when you could have used your third wish on some football ability.

Selfish prick

His worst is even worse than Ivan's. *smile*. They're so competitive.

Gold posting!
 
Will this bloke ever mark a ball? He is shocking to watch and more embarrassing saying that he plays for your side.
bring back Ben Marsh

He did mark the ball last week.
Yearly KPI for marking met.
Now for goal kicking.

Would much rather Griffiths and Vickery handle the ruck position between them.

Hell, I'd prefer Jayden Short play ruck in preference to Hampson!

Even Paul Callery or Caleb Daniel have it all over Hampy as a ruckman!

Hampson is an embarrassment not only for Richmond but for the AFL brand.
 
About time to name and shame all the PREnders who voted in favor of recruiting this embarrassment. We all know who the idiots are who recruited him.
 
The clowns up the field have actually tried kicking it to him on the lead in the forward line. Seriously!! I mean, WTF is the point of that. If by some miracle or divine intervention he actually managed to mark the ball he can't get anywhere near kicking a goal unless he is in the goal square. Even then it's no better than even money.

Still can not believe we recruited this bloke. It encapsulates all the reasons why we can not get ourselves out of mid table mediocrity.
