It's incomprehensible how a man with his size, can be so inept at every aspect of the game aside from ruck hit outs. Just the worst mark of a football for a big man I've seen in 36 years of going to VFL/AFL matches.

[Willo]

He is tall. That is all.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

I don't mind him personally. I am more confident going in against north with hammer playing on goldy then maric (even when he was in career best form)

 

[jb03]

Never seen a player, tall or small, try and mark the ball so often with his palms facing outward or upward.

What amazes me according to the AFL site he was one of our best. I must have watched a different game

Due to the joy of social media I asked the guy who filed the report that listed SH among the best and he said he got the best players off an AFL media colleague. He then asked her but she's opted not to reply...

An interesting insight to the media reporting process.

Without understating it at all... he has an enormous job to do next week!

Goldsteins sore knee will help

Hampson will never be a premiership ruckman.
Is battling away but just has too many limitations/liabilities to have any real impact on the game.

 

[Rantnrave]

can on now...he aint no super player .but he has been a surprisingly worthwhile replacement for ivan...his done his required job...

Hampys stats:

8 disposals, (3 kicks, 5 HB) @ 50% DE, 35 metres gained, 0 marks, 0 scores, 1 clearance, 33 HO (10 to advantage) @ 30% HOTA. 3 frees for, 4 against.

Jamar:
7 disposals (2 k, 5 HB) @ 100% DE, 100 metres gained, 3 marks, 1 goal, 2 clearances, 19 HO (5 to advantage) @ 26% HOTA.

Essendon won the centre clearances 15-12 and clearances 27-19.

So Jamar shaded him by having 100% DE and kicking a goal and despite Hampy winning more HO we lost the clearances.

Im happy for hammer just to break even against his opposite number

But if Hamsters opponent is a spud n he gets out played what then? Still happy?
Hamster won the ruck yet Essendrugs either read his ruck work better or perhaps simply outplayed our mids. Whatsisname then proceeded to have a " slightly " more effective game around the ground, phhhhht Hamster.

 

[tempany14]

he's the player that dimmer always thought he would be - a useless hack shame that dimmer cant or won't see that

 

[AstuteTiger]

Apart from his 33 hit outs which were good but around the ground he was terrible 8 disposals and no marks is not good enough, lets not forget he gave away 4 free kicks...

 

[blutiga]

I thought after a few howlers later in the game he was gonna go back into his shell and disappear, but he sorta battled on kinda, sorta ;D

I wish this were true. The gap between his best and his worst is minimal. His worst is diabolical, and his best is just above substandard. It's just that we're all so surprised whenever he has a game in which he takes a mark, that it stands out as particularly good. For him.

He is without a doubt the worst footballer to ever have pulled on a tigers jersey. He's just lucky that he's 200 cm, 100 kg, and can jump. But I don't think I've ever seen a player with less ability with ball in hand, or ball in area, or just ball.

I've been giving him a pass recently, only watching him on TV. Seeing him at the ground tonight, it's obvious just how terrible he is. Players actively avoid going to him, and when they have to, they all run backwards knowing that he'll turn it over. And then he does. And then he gives away a free kick. And then he falls over.

100% correct. Get rid of him now and make vicktery earn a living by playing ruck. Play astbury full forward and mcbean third tall forward. Simple.

Do that if you want to tank for the rest of the year.

That's why I nicknamed him cymbal hands.

 

[zippadeee]

We can't be a serious threat at a flag with this bloke. Worse ruckman I've seen

I don't think we're a serious threat for a flag with Cotch or Lids or Dusty or any other player on our list either.

You don't rate these guys?
