[TheGrizz]

Has an elite AFL trait in his running power. Is also a nice kick when he has time.

The question will be whether the conditioning staff can put any sort of bulk on him without compromising that running power.

 

[rumply]

Good to see but as discussed, they've got to start getting some weight on him now.

 

[Darealrath]

If you're Ham's size and build you need some serious campaigner in you and be tough as nails. Dean Laidley was like Ham, maybe a little taller, but was always a rake. A seriously tough campaigner of a rake though.

Good call. Should put a poster of Laidley on his wall ala Marc Bullen with Ben Cousins.

1990s Dean Laidley or 2020 Dean Laidley?

I was trying to be very careful in my wording

FTFY

Really pleased they have re-signed him. Is only 21 and I like the dash he provides. Need to give him some time to develop and has a lot more to offer than guys like Cutler. Worth persevering with, especially given our loss of pace elsewhere.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Phew.

I’m a Ham believer, good to see him get another contract. Was beginning to worry he may get the axe.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Is Don Is Good..hehe bit of a ham a joke there...ahem...deserved another year

 

[Don Won]

Send him back to the old country, they will feed him corn and pumpkin and have him up to a good size by Christmas - guaranteed.

 

[ant555]

Hope he can build a bit of core strength as he will need it. He is not going to bulk up much more so he will need that to go with his running ability.

 

[Don35]

Fingers crossed he can find some courage, game sense, one touch and general intensity at and around the contest.

 

[CBombers17]

Looks a long way off it.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Hopefully he can put on 15kg's in the off season and grow 5-10cm. If he does I reckon we've got a real star on our hands.

Miles.

the shaved ham is always way too thin

need to get the carving knife out and get ourselves a nice thick slice

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Does Ham have to be a similar shape to Laverde or is that too thick for him?

 

[yodellinhank]

I dunno, kinda looks like big head mode on NBA jam

 

[ghostdog]

He needs a Christmas with Jakey. We need post-Christmas Ham.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

One small defender coming up.

Very small.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Very small.

Another preseason of that and he’ll be the same size as Short.

Solid arms now.

Oh sorry, turns out I was looking at his legs.

In all seriousness I reckon he is gonna be a star.

Lol why would we waste his running ability as a defender?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Because we have just lost two half backs and he’s shown great form there in the VFL and averages about 10 touches on the wing.
