Hamling a Dog

[Grantysghost]

Have to be in his ear. Wonder whats gone wrong there.

I would be letting him know we can provide an opportunity for him.

27 years old, plenty of good footy in him.

Freo might've pushed him before he jumped. They have a lot of good quality KPD players even if they aren't in the side right now, and Luke Ryan has probably gone from an intercept player to the top of the pile.

Plus maybe his injury is worse that publicly known.

This is my worry with Hamling as well. Freo have Alex Pearce waiting in the wings in key defence as well, who is a jet albeit injury prone.

I would take him back NO PROBLEM.

I would take him back NO PROBLEM.

If you look at the Grand final team, we lost 4 players to other clubs, the rest of the guys gone all retired. Hamling, Roughead, Stringer and Dahl. Hamling is the only one I would take back. Lots of respect for Roughead, but the way we play, he doesn't suit our style.

I would take him back NO PROBLEM.

And for half the price we sold him for since Freo have damaged him whilst in their possession.

Come home Hammer.

[Rocket Science]

Feels like we've basically spent the whole post-flag period trying to find or fashion an adequate replacement for Hamling.

Roughead would have helped. I wish we had him post 2016.....oh wait.

Do you think he fits into the way we play now?

I read this last night and didn't think too much of it... but now....

Hamling's agent Colin Young was last year scathing of the club's medical department after his client Shane Kersten was forced to depart following a long-term foot injury.

"Shane and the club will part ways at the end of the week amicably and Shane will do his rehab under a different set of eyes," Young told The West Australian in July last year.

"I have serious concerns on how the club rehabilitates its players (and) it's my opinion that this area of the club needs an immediate review.

"Immediate changes need to be made or the club is going nowhere."

Aren't Kersten and Hamling best mates? Starting to become clear why Hamling isn't happy. Alex Pearce should be getting out of there as well. Hayden Young can come and join his brother.

A reliable defender who could also help out with ruck duties, sure. You don't think we could find a spot for him?

Does he take Cordy's place in the team, so Cordy out? Would Bevo play Keath, Hamling and Cordy in the same team?
