Once again, not sure what games you've been watching.

Hampson has been one of the biggest improvers on our list; consistently winning the ruck battle throughout this year despite the ineffectiveness of the midfield.
Even today he beat the duo of Ceglar and McEvoy rucking alone. None of us would have thought it but this season Hampson is a top 7-8 Ruckman in the comp.

It's not the mids having to kill themselves to get his taps, its our midfield unit being woefully poor this season and a lot his tap work not being utilised.
he's improved, but its from going from an absolute friggin liability to a pass mark

reality is we ****** up going into a season with one ruck approaching the end, and one ruck with concrete hands and poor around the ground play.

Coming in with Ivvy was definitely a mistake and you're right ruck stocks are low; however think you're still being a bit harsh on hampson he's top 5 in hit outs this year and hands have improved a lot. Our midfield group has gone way backwards; worse off than Melbourne and Sainta's and lack the footy intelligence in the middle to know how to approach play during the various moments of a game which create the decisive result is really glaring.

Imagine there's no dimma
It isn't hard to do
No running around in circles
No kicking backwards too
Imagine all the supporters
Flocking to the g. oooh oooohhh
You may say I'm a dreamer but im not the only one
I hope someday the board will sack him
And we can begin again
------------------------------
Imagine no Mellor no williams and no lade
No discount dan no francis boy we'd have it made
Imagine all the players playing for the jumper again
And all the big footy members aboard the tiger train
You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
I hope one day to see finals but can i wait that long
----------------------------------------------------
Imagine jack staying at full forward and Tigger in the guts
Cotch lids and Dusty rotating in the fwd 50 no ifs and buts
Imagine Daniel George and shorty roving all the packs
With Yaz basher and kmac running it out from the back
Yes you can say I'm a dreamer but i love this ******* team
And all we have is hope and and a prayer and a dream
---------------------------------------
Imagine if the doozys
came and joined our club
And all our draft picks we never ever ****** up
Imagine if we had a game plan that never failed the test
Ooooh ooohhh you can say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
And iknow that last Saturday in September we can finally say we are NUMBER ONE

Great work and I really loved it , but you only needed one line IMO
Imagine if we were like Hawthorn.

Five minutes into the first quarter one of the blokes in our group said as hard as we're trying we could still lose by 15 goals.
The signs were there that our team was going to drop off as physically we were inept and our skill level was going to drop off with player fatigue.
After the game he blamed the boys for the lack of defensiveness . I see a poor tradesman blaming his tools .Seven years and we're back to 2004. We are being coached by a cunning rip off version of Spud Frawley
No problems have been resolved at this club other than monetary ones which is dedicated to fans not the Admin Bored or FD .
We are amateurs in all areas of football and this is why we have players like Grigg Hampson Yarran Hunt Chaplin Townsend Moore on our list and have had duds like Miller Roberts AMaric Azza etc etc etc on the list in our seven years under DH.
Cotchin is now reduced to a plodder and has been found out by coaches. A bloody shame bc he was once a gun. Jack will follow suit if DH has 1 more year at him. When Jack kicked his second in the last his facial expression said it all.
The kids are kids , but are well short of super stardom or good talent and to me they're just future foot soldiers.
The playing list is a reflection of the quality of the coach FD and game plan . This stop gap damage control game plan will always be torn to shreds by hardened / seasoned teams yet DH still teaches it. North and Geelong have owned us from day one in his tenure yet he still plays skinny unfit looking blokes matched with a poor skill set. So he designs a game plan to stop the rot ,rather than actually construct one with a list to beat it.
We are in the longest rebuild that has never started seven years later. DH was taking us nowhere from his first season IMO and his incompetencies at the job are now out for all to see.
The longer he stays the more damage he will do. DH was lucky BH jagged Ivan Ivaaan bc he helped prolong his career with the famous five. He totally destroyed their careers or impact in his era and he is still allowed to run around like a headless chook.
Shame shame shame Beg and Penny.
Embarrassing is too nice for this club.

Hampson has been killing it out of the ruck this year, our mids have just been terrible at taking advantage. What games have you been watching?
Hit outs are the most overrated stat in football. Hampson is a liability everywhere but the centre bounce where he gets tap outs. The end! If we can't do a lot better than him we'll continue to go backwards!

Yay ... one of the biggest improvers on a team that's gone backwards by six spots. His first two years were inept, this year slightly better. Again he offers nothing other than at centre bounces.

what is shameful is:
1. Our game plan
2. Our recruiting
3. Our player development

Look in the mirror hardwick.
He's now trying to destroy the confidence of our A grader in Bull Martin . States he overused it EARLY. Surprisingly early in the game we were still hanging on up until half time and due to Martin and Rance.
I think he needed to discuss the captains game as he was running around in Taylor Hunt style looking for cheap one inch handballs and dishing off to standing targets playing like the crab he's turned him into .
His press statement further confirms to me that the mad professor needs to be removed from his disservices.
