The article even quotes Balme saying: "We’ve got to be careful with his ground ball stuff, just to make sure we don't put too much stress on him". WTF?
Was just about to post the same Tony BH.
What's the point of a ruckman, when the ball hits the ground , to have no influence?
This is where Nank , even though may not get the HO, what he does after that showed his true value to the team.
Becomes a midfield option, link man and weapon going forward. And can kick a goal!
For mine Hampson is an insurance for Soldo, even though Soldo still has a way to go in challenging Nank.

Yep, I think we proved last year that a second ruckman is an endangered species. Having Hammer in the team with Nank would definitely be a step backwards. Hammer brings nothing to the team but hit outs. When Nank was resting during the GF, and Grigg was in the ruck, we dominated clearances.
If Nank went down, I wouldn't replace him with Hammer, I'd put someone with agility in like Callum Moore as an old style follower, and tell him not to worry about tap outs, but to compete especially when the ball is on the ground. As tigertim said, need more than a one trick pony in modern footy.
IMO this is just smoke & mirrors. Be very surprised if we're serious about playing Hammer now. In case of emergency break glass only.

Hammer seems limited, but I thought Towner was limited too.
Theres no harm in having blokes fit.

I'd like to see Bolton in the ruck.
Standing on Sandilands head, roving his own taps and running into open goals like K.B.
There is nothing he cannot do.
Hampson? Pffffffffffffttttttttttt

Given his age and serious injuries, it is hard to see him get back to at least his previous level. Chances of him getting better would be very low.

I will be very surprised if our structure isn't the same as last year.

Towner didn't get an opportunity. The Hampervan has had many and is now up on blocks.
Pending the on this year's style of play, I feel Shaun will need get on the park, otherwise next year's play will be a tall effective forward come ruckman as "Nank" can not carry the ruck 3 yrs running by himself.
