Get the feeling the second rounder acquired for Hampson would be on traded to hawthorn for Savage.
Some would say we're paying overs but this guy can seriously play.

Hampson is a poor footballer. A second round pick is, in my opinion, a good result for us.
"Athletic" and "project" and "potential" no longer cuts it. He's had more than enough time to prove himself. I wish him all the best, but it is our best interests to do this trade.

Re hammer...
How old is will minson? On the verge of being cut or shunted by the doggies not all that long ago. Now AA.
Hammer still young enough to get better with an injury free run and some continuity as no one ruck.
But his body is a worry and maybe he is as good as he will get. All conjecture.

Yep I second that. Spot on. Use him primarily as a ruckmen and he will be more than handy

Zee, this is just my opinion. Personally I don't see Kreuzer or Warnock working together in a team. Most likely one of them will have their output blunted.
Also I see neither of them as a reliable ruck/forward or a forward target. I just can't see them impose themselves up forward as a forward target for our mids or see Warnock create space for our smalls.

I'm going to go against popular opinion and agree with the previous poster that an early 30s pick for a no.1 ruck is hardly a win for us.
It's hardly a buyers market when it comes to securing a ruck capable of holding down the no.1/2 spot - we've seen rucks flourish when given greater opportunities, and we've seen clubs pay overs due to them being a rare commodity. We've effectively developed Hampson until his prime, and people are now happy to hand him over for a speculative pick at best - should be holding out for a late teens/early 20s pick.
He may be wasting away in the reserves for us, but he won't be doing that for whatever team picks him up - his value should be equivalent to his worth for them, not his worth to us.

We will likely use that pick (or our second round pick which is later than Richmond's) to trade for another player (e.g. Sam Docherty).
I think if GWS didn't end up with Mumford we could have struck a better deal with them. Pick 2 looks about right. Probably better than what we had got had this been through free agency
Should work well with Maric and be a very good back up forever Maric is injured or needs a rest. Up forward Hampson is like a box of chocolates but he should work well with Riewoldt and Vickey/Mcbean taking the best defenders.

who on TC?
May as well send him a little message to see if he is interested in going to Carlton.
Friend request would be stalkerish.
