Hampson

[Big Red is back]

Out tonight move had to be made.

 

[Murphkreuzmitch]

if any go it is warnock, he may have nice hands as a ruckman, but he has more downside every whereelse than the others, can't mark, can't kick, does not block, does not push packs.

Kreuzer is the number one ruckmen and hampson is number 2. let 206 go if he is threatening, we dont need players who are selfish and want to leave if not played every week, we need players who will strive for club success and a premiership. Hampson (as much as he frustrates me) with kreuzer will both strive for this. It's not like we will not have Mitchell and Casboult getting a hit out in the near future to pinch hit as back ups both over 190cm.

Jury still out.

Warnock is by far our best tap ruckman. Kreuzer is the best overall player. Hampson ruck work is third.

Ratten has given Hampson every opportunity to play key forward but he continues to let him down.

You are one of a vocal majority who ignore facts and stats to beat up the Kreuzer bandwagon. Hampson's hit out stats murder Kreuzer's and compare favourably with Warnock. You must be a Ratten supporter too. He believes the team selection revolves around popularity more than form, performance and endeavour. We all love Kreuzer for a range of reasons, do not belittle others to pump him up. Warnock, ready made ruck, big bikkies and fragile as glass has missed as many as he has played and is more often than not of little value around the ground and forward. Decent tap ruckman..................................
For you to state Hampson has let Ratten down up forward is a disgrace. Our forward structures are crap, too many players dragged to aerial contests, delivery poor, the bloke has L plated on and has produced much more than MK who has been used forward on far more occasions through their respective careers. Yes Hammer could do better, and given confidence will. Ask Hammer, he will tell you he is a ruckman not a forward, but is filling a void for the club. Let's keep telling him he is no. 3, on borrowed time despite evidence to the contrary. You sure are a great supporter mate.

 

[The Real Deal]

Get Jacobs back.

 

[thylacine60]

You said he was too slow, Wes.

 

[Claypigeon]

Get Jacobs back.

That ship has sailed. .. Besides I felt like I was short handed sailing the support vessel in his last year anyway. ..

Everyone can have an opinion.

I don't like players who choose when they try, read Hampson.


Obviously you can bag Warnock and still remain "a great supporter"

Good point. The criticism of Jacobs at the time, some of it justified, was that he was too slow & therefore the more mobile ruckmen would run him around. He was also considered one-dimensional because he couldn't go forward & 'clunk' a few marks & kick some goals & generally he was considered to be 4th in our ruck pecking order.

We seem to have a number of 'Harry Hindsight's in our midst'.
