Speaks volumes.... When you consider these numbers for a guy with less than 20 games VS a mature experienced competitor it puts it in another light altogether.

Really disappointing, Lamby, just another evasive one-liner of no argumentative relevance.

I think you desperately need Hammer to recover more than anyone. He gives you relevance, fire in the belly. A raison d'etre.

I'd love to be able to evade your arguments but that means I'd have to understand them first.

Thanks for that, Bill. For me, Hit-outs and DE% are the big ones. Less clangers and more CMs too. Team was much poorer in 2016 too with slow stodgy football, which means nearly everyone plays and looks worse. Even Dusty, Jack and Cotch had poorer years.

So thanks for highlighting these vital numbers. It's good to be able to rely on you for back-up.

No doubt it's because of the parallel universes. I really understand.

Champion Data rates Hampson's injury as the 5th most costly in the league

Well when Champion Data choose to enter a 19th AFL team into the comp they can have him with my blessing.

Less clangers

You mean the 0.2 less clangers despite nearly 7 possessions less per game?

Damn, that's some epic clutching at straws. Guess you gotta take anything you can get when arguing for Hampson. :hihi

Yep, Hampson much worse for clangers. Hampson had a clanger every 3.4 disposals last season. 1 in almost EVERY 3 disposals is a clanger.

Imagine if Hampster can reduce his disposals to zero, his clanger rate will be zero also! That's when we'll know he's truly elite

Leon's just taking the *smile* surely?

 

[tigertim]

Leon's just taking the p!ss surely?

I think you've just opened my eyes to him, he's trolling us! Damn, well played Leon, you got me!

It's hard to clang when you can't pick up the ball. Hamster made a loose ball look like a toddler picking up a ballon in a wind tunnel.

After having played a half or so in the VFL last week and he apparently pulled up ok. I expect him to get more game time this week and get selected to play against the Sinners round 23.
Just in time and in for first week of the finals. Hampson to be our main ruck with Nank spending most of the time in the forward 50 as our 2nd tall.

 

[Harry]

It's hammer time

 

[tigertim]

Give me the inanimate carbon rod please!

 

[tigerlove]

Suddenly Hampson is our saviour.

Reckon he offers more than Soldo at this point and will be a plus heading into the finals.

Ummm... yeah... I'll stick with that.

 

[Baloo]

That's the bottom line. Who gives the team more at this stage and in the finals? Hammer or Soldo.

Hammer for mine.

 

[tigerlove]

For game time played (61% compared to 78%) Soldo already ain't that far behind. Not bad for a 7 gamer 21yo compared to a 98 game, 11 AFL years, 28yo.

dimma, stop telling us your not so well kept secrets please.

give me strength !!!

Hampson may be big and can tap ruck with the occasional one going to the Tigers but is unable to clunk a mark or work at ground level so brings nothing more to the Team than say an inexperienced Soldo. Not the present or future for the Tigers
