A utility option instead of Francis who is a great VFL playerHaving watched a lot of the twos games, I don’t think Hamling the forward will work at AFL level. And I wasn’t impressed with him as a defender either.
Break glass in case of emergency only.
Happy to be proven wrong but reckon he’ll be dominated by defenders at AFL level. Too slow and one dimensional.
I watched him live a few weeks ago and he was an option , why recruit him !I’ll add to this by noting Hamling had a promising start as a Key Forward but has dropped off
His last 5 games have netted 5.10.
Ladhams 6.4 in last 5 (6.0 in last 3) whilst also spending time in the ruck.
Not sure why you all crack the shits at Brandon Jack
You telling me some ex hack writes an article and that brings the whole gameplan down
It was satire but still think its a disrespectful thing to do
That's true, but Francis has also racked up a number of BOGs this year playing as a KPD so he is our only option when Melican is down. Even though he is too good for VFL and not good enough for AFL, he was one of a number of backmen last night who didn't look AFL quality purely because of the way the ball was coming in. I think he is more of an interceptor than a lock-down player but he has to play where needed.A utility option instead of Francis who is a great VFL player
Write an article? who gives a ****
If he was still on our list sure , but he is just another joe public footy pundit , he can write what he wants.
If he actually worked out something no one else did then ****en call him and ask how to fix it, as Horse has no idea
It's a pile of napkins, GB. It's a joke.The last post sounds like he has some kind of beef with us

Yes and no. He is someone who has had to evaluate where footy fits into actual life and I think he now has a pretty good balance. Humour is needed at a time like this.Yer like i said its all satire but probably not the best time to do it
Yeah well I’m not in a funny mood right now. Maybe by Wednesday I’ll get itYer like i said its all satire but probably not the best time to do it

I don't think it would worry him too much as he has always followed the beat of a different drum, and I respect him for that. He hasn't said anything hurtful to anyone so I have no problems with what he has said. Maybe it's in the 'too soon' basket, but it's all tongue in cheek and brings some much needed perspective.I think taking credit for the slump we are in for a ex player is ehhh its just not something i would do.
Regardless by the comments it has not been well received from Sydney supporters or they dont get the attempt at humor.
I get the impression he is questioning or making light of the credit he's been given. Also, I assume, he's also a Swans supporter, like many past players who don't go on to play elsewhere?I think taking credit for the slump we are in for a ex player is ehhh its just not something i would do.

It was pretty surreal at the game, to look over at the screen and see that.71-0

Indeed. So if Francis looks out of his depth then what will Hamling look like having been not as good in the VFL?That's true, but Francis has also racked up a number of BOGs this year playing as a KPD so he is our only option when Melican is down. Even though he is too good for VFL and not good enough for AFL, he was one of a number of backmen last night who didn't look AFL quality purely because of the way the ball was coming in.

Yeah he’s got a rather high opinion of himself & his literary abilities. Ignore it with the contempt it deserves. (Just because he writes for SMH he thinks he’s highbrow kinda special)Honestly, if you think that Brandon Jack had anything at all to do with what happened then you need to take a deep breath or two. I can't believe you think that opposition coaches are following him for his input and couldn't work it out for themselves. Fair dinkum.
