Gotta give the bloke his due. He is showing improvement, which I for one didn't think he had. We should be in no rush to bring back Ivan until he is 100% fit and played some time in the VFL.

At this stage, Hammer is ahead of Ivan. I counted at least 3 strong contested marks.
They were really good grabs, I had to check every time that the bloke taking them was wearing no 16. Also kicked a goal.

The 10 year non acheiver plays a half decent game and the Tiger gullible think "yeah, maybe he's not that bad after all, maybe he,ll come good"

Give it time.

You might be better off not reading or posting if you don't want to relate to the real world.
V Carlton
Hampson 24HO 8D 1M
Kreuzer 16HO 10D 2M

v Collingwood
Hampson 28HO 13D 3M
Grundy 16HO 17D 3M

v Adelaide
Hampson 34HO 11D 5M (4CM)
Jacobs 28HO 17D 2M (0CM)
As you would expect when your team wins in a canter, Jacobs had 11 uncontested disposals while Hampson had 4.

To be honest I suppose it might be better if I just stopped reading or posting given the utter stupidity of some of the posts criticising Lennon, Astbury, Grigg, BEllis, Cotchin, Houli, Chaplin, Edwards and McIntosh.
Really is Jekyll and Hyde stuff here. They're either champions or duds, sometimes both depending on the week. :)

Ahhhh, but you forgot to put in the value of the goals scored by Kruez n Grundy compared to the lollypop ones Hampervan missed, he gets a bonus brownie point for finally kicking one from dead in front n twenty out against Jacobs not getting any.
 
A fit Hampson is a good tap ruckman. The issue is his legs are fragile and he is never fit for an extended period of time.

The "real world"? Sheesh, in the "real world" of AFL footy Hampy has been an utter failure. 10 seasons, 10 good games, if he's lucky.

Yes, best you stop reading if you can't handle the "real world".
 
Like the dark of the late 80's. Back patting players that had a sort of good game.
Hampson is a disaster. Maric is finished.
I remember there were quite of few people on here, who were keen us drafting Max Gawn
 
From a pure rucking perspective, Hampson is pretty much our best match up available against the modern athletic machine type rucks like Nic Nat (still clearly beaten, but the closest thing we have). No secret that Maric is on his last legs and struggling athleticly. That said, it's also no secret that Hampster has many glaring flaws.

Huge concern when, outside of these two, we only have a project ruckman (Soldo) and a project tall backman/ruck (Chol) on our books. Vickery, McBean, Griff, Mckenzie are blokes of ruck capable size, but none have shown much aptitude as full time rucks. Will never be anything more than part time pinch hitters.
 
I thought he wpuld never play again after watching him against Carlton.
Some people want to put stats up, spare me. This bloke is finished. Play anybody, I mean anybody, Elron, McBeam in the ruck.
Ruck Ty all game, play MCBean fwd or Elton fwd, do

Natanui beating up on him. No protection, and he gets pinged if he tries to fend off.
He's brave, but his body's shot.

Agree playing on heart and trying but beng monstered
 
Been injury prone for years. Has 4 game trots in him and that's apart from his generally hopeless marking and ground play. Oh did I mention his kicking? Should never ever have been recruited.
 
Hampson, to his credit, has been valiant and tried his best. but his best just isn't up to scratch.
Those corkies must be hurting BIG time.

A valiant 1 disposal 5 clanger game. I get he's injured but how does that make you keep fumbling uncontested marks? Seriously, we've neglected our ruck stocks for years and look what we now have? Extremely bad recruiting management.
