In: Warnock, Out: ?

[Mandragoran]

Warnock coming in it looks like, assume they couldn't drop sauce, and surely they want to give hammer a bit more of a go with his ongoing (slight) improvement....

I'm almost 100% sure that Sauce will be dropped.

Hammer has the athletic leap that will be needed against Cox/NN and started to look red hot in the 2nd half of the Sydney game. He has had limited opportunities this year due to injury and is slowly gaining confidence after his first few matches. It would be crazy to drop Hampson IMO.

(Note I'm assuming we will only play 2 ruckmen)

 

[BluesMan]

100% sure sauce is our number 1 ruck!

Im not a big fan of hammer, but if he can get it right it will be awesome. Warnock probably wont get a gig, because of the athletic ability of nicnat.

 

[The Big Sticks]

Henderson out? He didn't look 100% right on Sunday with that corked knee.

Hampson to stay forward the whole game and Warnock/Sauce to do the rucking?

 

[Jeremias]

There's no way that Sauce will get dropped - right now, with Kreuze obviously out for the season, he is easily our number 1 ruckman.

Hampson won't be dropped after having 4 shots on goal against Sydney.

He's doing fine.

If Warnock plays it'll mean we'll be going in with 3 ruckmen against Naitanui and Cox.

I'd be instructing them to jump into NicNat at every opportunity.

 

[parrot]

We'll go in with Warnock and Hampson. Hampson is being groomed as a ruck/forward, plus he has the added advantage of being able to consistently jump over Nic Nat. Jacob's has been far from terrible, but it makes sense to give Warnock a chance. Pretty sure he'll be fired up this time after all the "media talk".

 

[KoutoufidesGhost]

Surely Carlton are going to play with Warnock and Sauce in the ruck and Hampson as a permanent forward.

Hopefully not. Hampson is no forward and struggles alot with his marking. I'd play Fisher forward if we have to after 3 consecutive weeks of 4 goals in the 'Ants. While he has deficiencies one thing he can do is take a contested mark probably better than nearly everyone at the club.

 

[Silvagnis]

Hampson's marking was fine on the weekend.

Took at least four marks inside our forward half.

Was unlucky because he could have scored six times.

Took that mark in the square one out, but the umpire ruled that he pushed his man in the back.

Garlett pinched one from him too.

Sauce will get dropped.

Isn't quick enough to cover a ground as large as Subiaco.

Struggles to drop back and help out the defenders because he's so slow.

Hampson was patrolling their goal square in case a kick fell short.

 

[Stamos]

Sauce will get dropped. He has looked tired the last 2-3 weeks, and got thrashed by Hudson, and Mumford and Pike. On a big ground, against 2 athletic ruckman, Hammer and Warnock makes more sense.

Ratts said Fish will play another week in the 2s.

Hampson's marking is generally sh1t. He has 2 possessions to half time and got a couple of marks when the game was over and we were 8 goals behind.

Hampson could be a very good ruckman but we're desperate if we think he'll be a forward for us.

Agree with Sauce though. Think Warnock will come in for him and ruck with Hampson. Be good to see Hamspon back in the first ruck duties.

 

[Mandragoran]

Hammers hands can sometimes be like chops but he is steadily improving and just needs time and games, his 'upside' is very promising, loved his final quarter. I think it would be very hard on sauce if he gets dropped as he has put in some big efforts this year but I think Stamos made a few good points.

There is a chance all three could play and hendo goes out, I think I only saw him come into the picture three or four times on the whole game last week (hopefully because he is injured).

Well he did have quite a bit of tape around that knee of his

This, but we don't want JTG to tweak a neuron with some lateral thinking

Wouldn't be surprised if Hampson gets it all together and stars up forward at some point. He's a ridiculously talented athlete - makes Nic Nat look like a plodder. His marks are starting to stick, kicking slowly getting better, and self-belief gradually building. Good luck to any defender trying to match Hammer on the lead. Just gotta give this guy game time at the highest level, and plenty of it. A good investment.

I hope we play all 3 as I think we should start thinking of Hampson as FF

 

[Mike_blues]

sauce will be dropped, almost 100% certain
yess hammer is not setting the world on fire, but i see he is improving anfd the game may of been over, but what would we rather? he show ntohing in the 2nd half or actually shoew something?
none the less ratten is crazy leaving fish another week in the 2s. id be bringing in wiggins or fisher this week instead of warnock

 

[goreds]

This love affair with Hammer is at an all time high on this board...

Will he be a good player??? Maybe...

Is Sauce our No.1 ruckman??? YES...

If Hammer plays this week, it will be as a forward...

Sauce and Warnock as the 1 and 2 rucks because they can also mark the ball...

 

[CUG81]

the opportunity to play hampson at FF for the whole game would be great...who knows, he may be a revelation for us for the remainder of the season in that forward line.

maybe having him at FF will make our midfielders kick it long..all hampson has to do is get the ball down to the crummers if he isnt a chance of marking it.

Teams Selection up now.

You are F#cking kidding me, Jacobs gets dropped and Hampson stays in. Sammy has been one of only a few shining lights and this is his reward. F#ck the Blues Match Commitee, we will probably lose Jacobs to either GC, Hawthorn, or Port over this. Disgraceful.

Agreed.

Jacobs need a rest.

Sauce isn't a good match up for Cox and Naitanui.

Anyone who thinks Hampson can't mark hasn't watched him play in the last two rounds.

Hampson was a better ruckman than Jacobs last year.

Shaun has only been out of the side due to injury and an interrupted pre-season.

Jacobs should be used to get another KPP/ruck into the club.

Kreuzer, Hampson and Warnock will be ahead of him next year.

Don't be silly. Sauce has been good this year, but the last 2 weeks he has looked tired, and has been well beaten. Add to that, we are playing at Subiaco against 2 athletic ruckman in Cox and NicNat. The match committee have made the right call.

Jury out on this one although Kruizer is a given ,feel Hampson has more potential upside but still only potential . Between Warnock and Jacobs I'd have to say Jacobs has the runs on the board and has exceeded expectations but Warnock has had limited opportunity due to injury and match fitness. Time for Warnock to show his wares and step up.

I thought he would not get selected as it's a interstate game so everybody will expect him to fire and if he didn't would get drop.He should come in next week if he does ok i expect especially if we don't fire a lot of shot against the Eagles.
