It's time to cut our losses and delist him and Grigg. Pay them out the €9.55 we owe them.

The difficiency in Maric is there to see, I hope they bring Hampson in to support Maric. mcBean will play as well with a tall subed at half time.
No one can jump over Nic nat, Maric did well presented all day ran all day.
 
Seriously what is going on with this bloke?
I watched him live up at Wangaratta in the pre season and he was plucking everything out of the air that came his way.
Now he can't take a mark to save himself? Doesn't add up..

My sense is that he aggravated that knee injury with which he's had history early in the year and he's been nursing it ever since.
Could be wide of the mark but I think that the Blues knew what they were doing and medically he wasn't sound.
3 year contract..hmmm.
 
Wondering if the laser was out of alignment when he last got his eyes done...his marking has been the worst in his career this year.

I'd say he drunk the water up here :hihi

Does he mark better in the day compared to night games ? Or simply just lost it or didn't have it
 
Doesn't do enough as a marking forward ruckman.

Is only a reserve for tap ruckman Maric.

I'd go the Griffiths alternative.
 
I just watched Dimmas Disection and he mentioned that reason Liam McBean doesn't get a senior game is because his lack of defensive pressure. I'd like to know how good Hampys defensive pressure is. Can't see it's been a highlight of his game from what I've seen.

McBean plays ruck ?

Think it may be referring to the Beanie's lack of forward defensive pressure, not sure why Beanie was thrown up in discussing the Hamsters capability or lack all over the ground.

At least it gives an insight to why Beanie's not getting senior games just yet, working hard one way instead of two, so he's got a little more work in front of him to earn promotion.

Because it feels like whilst McBean is denied a game on a set criteria Hampson has scored 10 games but he too seems to lack the same criteria.

Maybe one is young and they're trying to teach him what it takes to be a very good player. The other an older recycled who they know what they can expect of him and plays in a specialist position where we don't have great depth.

Yep, certainly understand that but Dimma didnt mention that, only defensive pressure and if he got it up to an acceptable standard THEN they'd look at him for a promotion.
