this worries me, from a port fan:
HH is my favourite player, but lets get a little perspective here. These guys (including Hamish), are paid incredibly well. Hamish was a top pick inside the top 5 of the draft. We supported him, looked after him through his formative years when he struggled with his body. He gets it together and plays some good footy in patches. He has never been consistent but has shown some real promise. I expect a player taken that high (and now paid that well) to be far more consistent than he has been. Then, according to reports, he holds a belief that he is not up to rigors of playing through the midfield regularly. I am sorry, but what a cop-out. No player is bigger than the club. Large portions of the fan base are complaining that there need to be changes (and not just the easy calls like Butch, Hoon etc), and HH is openly shopped around and people are feeling bad for him. Get a grip - this is a business, we are under performing. No player has a right to play for Port, it is a privilege. I am as disappointed as anyone else to see that Hammer will go, but it has to be done for the club to move forward and set a precedent that you cant just coast and its not an old mates club anymore.
