He is the single worst footballer in the league. If he was 6'1 he wouldn't get a game in an EDFL side. In the thirds.

Wouldn't get a game with Dimboola thirds.

Hopeless
Can't play. Get rid of him

Disagree. Hitouts to advantage are important but you have to have more to your bow in today's game. If you get 51 hitouts but can't mark, can't impact on the pack, can't run, can't tackle, then there is no place for you at AFL level. Right now we have two choices Maric or Hampson. Our own fault we haven't addressed our ruck stocks sooner.
 
A high percentage of his hitouts were not too advantage. A non footballer.
I would rather see Daniel Rioli rucking than this clown as at least he would try and probably make a better fist of it.

"Hampson just jumped up and completely missed it! Just jumped and didn't even get a touch on it."

The only unusual thing about this was that he sounded surprised .

Poor Lingy. Only sees the occasional Tiger game.

We watch Hammer do that weekly.

Well if Ling said it then it has no credibility and I doubt it happened as he descriptive it. Guy is a complete knob.

LIng is paingul but he said it. As coburgtiger said, the only surprise was that Ling was surprised.

Interested to see old mate Leon's take. :hihi

Yazz spotting rucking superbly in an exciting training vid ... Hold on, was waving his crutches.

I concede - Hampson awful tonight. But we have no-one better, especially with Griffiths down with another injury, unless Maric can access the fountain of youth.

Just another crappy judgement by the RFC football brains trust.

Hampson not on his Pat Malone. ATM, feel only Rance, Cotch and Grigg didn't humiliate our club tonight .. maybe a couple of others.

I just feel empty despair.

I just knew it! The AFL site says Hampson was one of our best tonight. Now I know the clowns they employ to report on games know less about the game than I do.
Yep, last week I tweeted the AFL media guy who listed Hampy in the best players. He said " I got them off someone else at afl". bizarre.

Tweet them again - absurd that he is listed in the best. Was hopeless around the ground.
 
Never seen a bloke get two hands around the ball as often as he does yet fail to take the mark.

He just doesn't have the simple coordination to catch a ball. Pretty crucial skill for an elite player to not have.
 
Has an amazing ability to misjudge a mark by about 12 inches. Never seen anyone get under the ball going for marks as he did tonight.
 
Hampy.

8 disposals, (3k and 5 HB), @ 62% DE, 66 metres gained, 2 marks, 0 goals, 0 behinds, 51 HO with 31% HOTA, 1 clearance in 94% game time.
 
Fact is there will be ,as there always is a decent Ruck available at years end. Highly unlikely will get a gun but there's defiantly better then Hampson out there, our ruck stocks are woeful, do we put all the eggs in one basket and try and get an A grader or do we go cheaper an get a competive one ?
