Hammer smashed Grundy in the ruck but around the ground he's a dinosaur. So often players run off him or he gives up the chase and it hurts us.
Mobile talls are the way forward. Time to try something different cause this is broken.

Biggest worry leading into the season was not seen by those at the club (specifically Richardson & Hartley) with their she'll be right jack mentality.
Time for Blair Hartley's replacement to be sourced. Like yesterday.

Maric and Hampson both debuted for Richmond at (barely) 26 after a similar lack of opportunities. One with the heart but not the tools, the other the tools but not the heart. One right, one wrong. But both with the prime years for ruckmen ahead.
Having said that, tonight was probably Hampson's best game for the club. Dominated the taps, showed some aggression and snuck forward for a couple of marks inside 50 (albeit resulting in behinds).
If Maric's still not right, we'll get a big pointer to Hampson's future next week. No beating up on a 21yo novice; ex-teammate Jacobs humiliated him last year.
Somewhat unimaginably, it seems that Hampson might be the best available option in the ruck.
Says a lot about where the Tigers are at that this should be the case.

If you can stomach it, watch Moore's kick that setup the winning goal. The pack flies and there's old numb nuts Hampson running past the contest out the back allowing his man Grundy to get a free hit at winning the game. There is no explanation for what he was doing.

There's never any explanation for what he's doing. He doesn't know what he's doing. Anything effective he does is by accident. He got a clearance in that game by accidentally pulling the ball out of the ruck, falling ass backwards to knock over his opponent, handballing in the air and also somehow to himself, and then panicking it sideways into Cotchin.
Hampson is a natural disaster that leaves pieces of Richmond in it's wake. He is made of chaos, and our midfield is the resulting carnage. Everything he touches (or flies inconsequentially past) turns to *smile*. He is the anti-Riewoldt.
