I really hope there is, but past experience has shown if there is, we won't find him.

That's because we are not looking.

The stupidity of relying on the spud Hampy and now past it Maric at the trade/FA/draft period last year is now (as many of us dills here predicted) has come back to bite us on the bum.

As someone else said: negligent. How senior experienced afl recruiters, list managers etc thought that was a good strategy is astounding.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Worst part is he gives us way more than Maric.

Yep.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Sad thing is I reckon he'll be still on the list next year

Not a chance.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Not a chance.

I don't know TT, they rate him as a ruck and Maric is gone, Soldo won't be ready , that's if he ever is and there's none other then part timers like Vickery and Griffiths....don't get me wrong I'd be delisting him too

 

[Barnzy]

Not a chance.

Isn't he contracted for next season? Same with star jump Morris.

Surely he only came across on a 3 year contract. Surely.

They only rate him as a ruck on OUR list. As an afl quality ruckman he doesn't date on any list.

As many dumb decisions we've made re our list I don't think even the RFC would go with Hampy for another season. Suicide.

Him and Maric might both be on the list next year.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Him and Maric might both be on the list next year.

I can't imagine Maric not pulling the pin when the body is shot, pretty honest bloke

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Him and Maric might both be on the list next year.

Not if the club is serious.

 

[tigers80]

Can assure you he won't be at RFC next year. ;D

 

[Mr Brightside]

Get that in writing thanks

 

[blutiga]

i can only think the recruiters were blinded by the social circles this bloke moved in, either that or the game Malthouse used him as a foil up forward against us was in their mind. Has proved to be one of the worst recruiting moves in the last Twenty Years. As bad a decision as JON.

 

[UKTiger]

Correct

 

[tigertim]

Correct

yep, 3 year contract. 16 games so far....

quality recruit.

There's really no point playing him, can't do any harm to give Soldo a few games ?

Wouldn't be against Vickery/ Griffiths rucking more"..........geez it's just woeful isn't it

 

[evo]

I reckon there is even less point playing Maric. He gives us even less and is about to retire.

We should be playing Hampson and Soldo, or Hampson and Cholly (my preferred option)

 

[blutiga]

The sight of seeing Hampson run out onto the MCG in a football jumper again scares me.
