Mikee said:Just showed on ch 7 news that Hampson is a tiger & we'll be giving up our 2nd round pick, disgraceful. Why pay so high? Has massive flaws in his game and we're forgoing getting a very good footballer that we could get at the draft. If FJ and the rest of the recruiting staff have done their homework & identified this years crop of players thoroughly as they should, we surely should be able to get a player of better quality than Hampson with much longer service. Another short-sighted, quick fix approach. A third round pick at most I could just handle, we are paying way overs. Really disappointed.
Mikee said:Looked pretty confirmed on the news, stating the pick given and showing him in our jumper. Won't be slashing the wrists over it, just angry/disappointed that we're not making every post a winner, being meticulous and professional with our drafting/picks. This is lazy by the football department and selling us short; its like a near enough's good enough mentality. Im hoping this isnt a done deal for that pick but it looks like that is the case.

Baloo said:I'm hoping that we know we're getting a second rounder for one of our other trades or compo. Otherwise I can't see us using our first in a trade too.
I also hope Blair continues to impress us with his undervalued player spotting
Giardiasis said:Maric's fitness, Vickery not showing enough and the imminent departure of Derickx (and probably Stephenson) has forced our hand.

And what do we do? Pick up Hampson
Devastated!!!
michael roach said:3 years in a row Hampson's season is ended by a knee injury.
2011 Hampson hurts his knee in round 13, expected to miss about 6 weeks, doesn't play seniors again for the rest of the year, not sure if he got back to play any VFL games.
2012 does his knee in round 15. season over.
2013 plays round 7, then goes back to VFL, does his knee again, season over.
