Right so you want him to develop into a pressure key forward...Nup, hate it. You're talking about the first 33 games of his career - shows plenty of promise. Raw aggression, appetite for pressure as a tall, and has the athletic profile to apply it. Make forwards who aren't good enough as a forward to be a backmen (see R.Lobb). Hammer has it, don't mess with his development.
Exactly this, loves a goal, keep him at FF, Max to CHF and told to run Sharman in a pocket.Caminiti to the backline is awful.
Hate making a player someone they aren't - the kid is a FIGJAM Forward.
Hammer has only kicked a bag of 3 once in his career and never more from 33 games. Average 1.03 per game. Its a solid return but I wouldn't call him a figjam forward. Definitely think there's potential with him in defence, his marking is elite and he's a big unit
Sound like a broken record, but Arie and Hammer as our version of May and Lever would be a nice development project to look at next year
Reckon we’ll get a dvd?10 year anniversary of our last wooden spoon, not quite our record but probably one of our longer streaks.
I dont think he's big enough given Wilkie is also undersized.Membrey could be the stop gap for a year or 2 in Battle’s position til Ari or Van Es come on.

Anyway, I'll take Ross' opinion. He's the one that's compared Hammer to "make forwards who aren't good enough as a forward to be a backmen" time and time again and also trialled him there before King's injury so we'll see what happens
Ideally, but not sure if there’s enough highlights to fill itReckon we’ll get a dvd?
If we trade Howard and I have to watch Cordy play AFL again I’ll be sick.
30 year old with a bad backGood news!
You’ll be watching Tom Clurey!
What is it with Bombers supporters wanting our compo picks? They really don’t understand how free agency works, do they? We lose the player so we get the pick. And how about if you want to offload Shiel we’ll take him and your first rounder for a packet of chips plus you pay his salary.We can laugh, but Saints twitter is just as bad.View attachment 2085154
Totally different position , as a forward he is leading up so he can get away with being a bit shorter , as a back chasing tail he is not tall enough to jump over someone to spoil the markI reckon if he's big enough to play the role forward he can do it in defense.
He would probably need to be your intercept defender though, not a stopper.

Yeah when he has gone back as a spare that's a different thing as you say ,I'm just basing my comment on what he's done previously. He was always quite good as an intercept mark when thrown back on occasions. Obviously its a bit different when it's a permanent role change and he has an opponent
Boomers at work talking Stringer to saints.
Something about it on fox footy last night?
Can’t find any news on it and don’t see any chat here
Exactly. Jones if he develops his defensive craft, Lever if he doesn't quite become that full back to take monsters. Then that frees up a forward spot for Heath or KeelerHe reminds me of Liam Jones. If he developed into an intercept KPD that would be best bang for buck out of Hammer. King/Sharman seems the reasonable KPF team to develop. Maybe need to look for a Membery replacement over next year. Tim looks like he has a year left in him.
Membrey could be the stop gap for a year or 2 in Battle’s position til Ari or Van Es come on.
Take away one of our most accurate kicks for goal?Membrey could be the stop gap for a year or 2 in Battle’s position til Ari or Van Es come on.
