If Hampson was 23yo, but he is already a mature 26yo.

How much more development is there in him?

Remember that Vickery only turned 24yo less than a fortnight ago.

Yes, but it is far from certain that Maric's body holds up meaning they both play.
But I like that we have Maric, Hampson, Vickery, Griff and McBean on the list. Surely 2 of these play well next year.
 
Like your optimism Juffa, but apart from Shaun's woeful timing & judgement at an overhead ball ( possibly the worst leysy's seen), he has a far bigger issue.

He has a female models hips. At 26 y.o he will never ever be able to hold his ground one-on-one. That will always see him struggle as a marking target ILHO.

never seen anyone get first hands on the ball and get nowhere near marking it more than this bloke. his hands are made of cement. I shall call him cement hands.

Haha, the cousin of Ben 'cement legs' Holland...;)
 
Demoted twice now, subbed twice. Doesn't look good for him. On a side topic it's interesting watching Sam Jacobs for the Crows. He was 4th in line at Carlton (behind Kruzer, Warnock and Hampson) but has become the best of all of them.

Would be such a breath of fresh air for the club to come out and say they got this one wrong. But with a 3? year deal, there is no chance of that.

No club would, nor should, say anything of the kind in regards to a player currently on their list. It would be player and media mismanagement to the nth degree.

They seem to have contracted what I call the Fonzi disease (Fonzi in Happy Days was incapable of admitting he was wrong, couldn't even say the word), and that means that as long as the current people are in charge that won't happen and we won't progress.
 
Has been the worst recruit that I can remember for a very long time, considering the price we paid.

Should only play if every other ruckman including Griffiths is injured.
