Awful. All my Carlton mates told me, and they were right on the money. Give me Derickx and our second round pick back.
 
The only thing that Carlton are disappointed about not having Hammer on their list is that Megan Gale is no longer there. :p
 
What a joke he was recruited. I have absolutely no faith in anyone from the club. They really are a bunch of idiots, the recruiting, overestimating of the list and individual duds like this bloke is astounding. Furthermore, they won't be smart enough to give games to blokes like helbig, bachelor, miles etc. Just play them all year, and can morris, newman, king, hampson to actually find out if these others step up. Stay down the bottom and use the year for something and get a few good draft picks.
 
I've been a Tiger a long long long time - and I can't recall such an obvious HACK ever!!!

Even my wife was rolling around laughing at how bad he was - and for once the Sub was bleeding obvious!!!

How can this guy ever make it back into the team??

Yes - Vickery is a hack - but if Ivan gets better then Ivan/Vickery is a far beter combo.

Credit where credit is due - Stephenson was named best on ground yesterday - surely he gates a call up if Hampson dropped (if!!!!!!)

:rofl

Would be even funnier if it wasn't so so sad!!!

Meagan must have clouded our objective vision!!!

A 3 year contract???? SERIOUSLY????

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Not even sad - tragic -given this and other contracts in the team - imagine if we get a new coach with some gonads - we will likely have the most expensive side running around in the VFL ever with Grigg, Houli, Hampson, Morris etc all with their papers marked but stuffing our recruiting for a couple of years.

Big game for Hampson tonight. Hopefully he shows why we chased him.

At least you put it out there Brodders.

At least we now know Hampson is a ruckman only. Staggered he started at FF. He's poor overhead and an ordinary set shot.

Hopefully we don't make the mistake of playing he and Maric in the same side again. Vickery/Griffiths needs to be the relief ruck.

Where has Bullus gone, would be interested in his take on the Hampson trade now.

If Ivvy is ready to go for Saturday night like it sounds, Hammer should go out. It'll be harsh because he did have a really good game last weekend, but I don't think we can risk having to rotate Shaun to the forward line.

Good call, me.

Agree. Our recruitment has gone back to the dark old days.

You know you're bad when Melbourne supporters start laughing at us.

Hers my analogy in the RFC recruitment of Shaun Hampson.

I need a new car. My neighbour has a car up for sale. I've seen him drive it, it's a 1992 commodore bomb, always failing him, always taking it in for repair and when it does run it runs terribly.

I say " I'll buy it off you, here's $15,000". I could have bought one from carsales for $5000. But I jumped at the first car I saw available. I ignored its history and paid far too much for it. I didn't do my due diligence and see what else was available.

More fool me.

Maybe when the recruiters sat down to discuss if he was worth it, Megan accidentally walked in to the room nude and the blokes went ---> :eek: :eek: :eek:

"Ooooooh yeah....maaaan.....sign right here Shauny"

gold lol.
 
I've seen enough. Hammer can be the VFL ruckman for the rest of his career or play only when Maric is unavailable.

You know you can't play when 70k people at the ground are simply laughing at you. Worst recruit I've seen in 35 years of going.
Hmm....one Jordon McMahon might beat him to the finish line....I think we gave away more for him too....

At least McMahon kicked one clutch goal - Why isn't the 10 metre miss up on the website under some humour?
 
Hamper has carried the load whilst Maric was unavailable. No one trashed him yet he is being trashed. Rephrase that..only bloke to trash Hamper is Dimma. Subbed him twice at half time when he was holding his own ,against the odds. Game against Dees Dimma subbed him half time & Dees Jamar & Co ran *smile* riot against TV & Griff. End result well you know that. as Dees got the four points.If they drop Hamper next week lambs to the slaughter against Goldstein & Co as Maric is not match fit.
