He makes Trent Knoble look like an All Australian. What dud.
Carlton can't win a game because they can't stop laughing
 
I am a Hardwick fan. Believe he is a good coach,

But we made a big mistake getting this guy. I dont think the coaching team understood how good improved Griffiths would be.

Personally I believe pick 32 was neither here nor there as most of the players picked after do not seem to stand out.. (time may prove me wrong)

However getting him and upgrading Orren. Ridiculous!!!
 
It was a half cocked move, ether they wanted a descent ruckman or a bloke to pretend to be a ruckman.
If they were seriously into a ruckman, Mcevoy should've been in our team today.
They rushed and panicked
 
sums up the tigers
we go hunt and go get HAPSON
HAWKS.at the same time get a potential all australian gun..mackavoy

sad and pathetic really
 
We picked Hapless to have Megan at the social functions
Could not possibly be for any football skill - I almost choked on my coffee when he took that mark on Saturday
He is a liability in every game he plays for us - means we are always playing with 17 men against 18 opposition whilst he is on the ground.
Mummy will annihilate him if he gets a game this week - Princess Vickeroy should do that role and be told to follow Mummy everywhere he goes for the entire game. Leave Griff at CHF for few weeks .
 
this will be the trade that broke the camels back for hardwick..

very similar to wallace trading for mcmahon...that is what he will be remembered for

good bye hardwick

Vickery won't chase Mumford.
See Mumford run. Run Mummy run. Mummy runs. See Vickery. Run Vickery run. Vickery gives up. Rest Vickery rest.

Hampson has been a spud his entire career. Everyone knows what he dished up at Carlton.

Why would anyone think he'd be any different with a Richmond jumper on?? It's pretty common knowledge that in the past 30 plus years most players get worse when the put a Richmond jumper on :p

Not true Rids. They generally look better in a Richmond jumper because often they are coming into a side with a much lower skill base.

Can't mark, can't kick, has zero impact away from the ruck contest? I might be wrong but I don't recall too many (certainly Hampson is in different league) saying that about Maric? Plus the knocks on Hampson have been proven right, Maric was arguably the AFL mature age recruit of that year when he came over.

There's players like Shaw, shuey, silivia & Adams to snag
And what do we do? Pick up Hampson
Devastated!!!

Probably, at least until the Ee van fired up the ignition, was excellent in his first season. Hamster on the other hand appears to have a flat battery, water in the fuel tank n a couple of punctures by comparison to the way Maric started with us.
 
If he can go back to back marks in this game, it will be his best showing yet.
Not that I wish too much pressure on him
 
And to think he will be getting a spot in the 22 pretty much for the next two-and-a-half years.
I am starting to shudder.

I wonder if he's got a "not to be dropped" clause in his contract...... :spin
 
We should play the Benny Hill theme every time he goes for a mark - only thing missing.

It's neck & neck between Hampson & Jordan McMahon for the worst trade in living memory. Perhaps Schulz for Farmer also close.
