In recent weeks, Hampton has also been diagnosed with vertigo and he said it was best for him to try and recover away from football.

“After eight years in the system and with multiple setbacks along the way, I’ve lost the passion, motivation and enjoyment for the game that you need perform at the highest level,” Hampton said.

“The past few weeks have been particularly hard as I try to deal with the symptoms of vertigo.

“At times, it has been difficult to train and play but it has also affected my life away from football.

“In saying that I am confident of making a full recovery but I feel it is best to do that away from the pressures of the AFL industry.

“This is a good opportunity to focus on the other priorities in my life and I look forward to the next chapter.”

See ya.

"You can't fire me, I quit."

 

[Carmo]

Well that expLains to an extent what was going on with him.

 

[Carmo]

Wish him all the best.

Hope everything goes well for him in the future and he is not too traumatized next time be hears the Richmond song or boards a bus.

Pretty obvious he was the media leak.

All the best in your recovery Curtly. A career of promise but not everyone can become a superstar and to have been able to play at the highest level takes massive dedication so hats off to you.

It wasn't him. I know who it was and I won't say anything more, but it was not Curtly.

Sad way to finish a career. He promised the world as a junior, even when he switched to the crows I was excited.
List management should never have paid a second rounder to bring him over though, not his fault.
All the best Curtley.

Some average replies here. Clearly his heart isn't in it. No shame for making the call himself.

In hindsight it makes his performance understandable.

Hope he finds success in another life.

Will the leak be gone end of year? Clubs dont like that kind of behaviour.

 

[Bazz_27]

I assume he would know by now that he wasn't going to be part of our plans next year and he has pulled the pin a little early.

A lot of talent and could have been a great player. All the best to him. That's another piece of the end of year puzzle in place..

Struggling with vertigo.

 

[MRB37]

He had a ton of promise, I was super excited when we got him, but he just couldn't get his body right. I remember he looked like a star in the 2016 (I think) pre-season playing inside when we also had Sloane out, then he got about 6 or so games in, got hurt and then just never recovered from there.

Hopefully he gets over whatever lingering physical issues he still has.

 

[Shaz2012]

Wish Curtly all the best.

 

[DJ75]

That is a really sad thing to hear. Vertigo is bloody awful and they say it can be caused by impacts to the head.
A real shame that we never saw the best of Curtly.

I said I won't say any more. I will stick to that.

 

[MRB37]

now that you mention it - makes a lot of sense

I thought it was kinda well known it was Betts and his wife?

 

[Jack is Back]

I was going to suggest that he might be suffering from depression, the Hawthorn match was bizarre compared to a pretty good return against the Eagles. He had also been playing quite well in the Twos.

Another of the numerous examples of young AFL players with plenty of skill that never reach their potential.

Good luck in your retirement Curtly.

I’ve had BPV and it’s incredibly debilitating.

It’s like being maggotted with the bed spins all day

Can fully understand this.

Tip though - find a physio that does the Epley Manouvre
Cured me in 24 hours !

Well done on having a crack and making the right decision at the right time
All the best

 

[NikkiNoo]

This really does explain why he was so easily bumped off the ball and his reaction to it in the Richmond game. All the best to Curtly and Emma and I hope he gets better soon.

Agree some very very average replies, geez the bloke retires and gets barbs thrown at him.
