There is nothing wrong with BreakDance Johnny boy.........what a film!
Who can forget the scene out the front of the shop where Turbo is dancing with the broomstick?
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAH
His official nickname should be Turbo - coz when you see him you'd swear he's got a twin turbo stuck up his ar$e.:santa :santa :santa it is close to christmas
Reminds me alot of a mix between Maxfield and Michael Mitchell. Actually looks and moves like Mitchell - lean but very musclular - wiry, springy. He reminds me of Maxfield by the way he thrashes his body in packs. He tackles and bumps to hurt and loves the rough stuff. Also reminds me of a young Stuart by how urgent he always is when he's chasing and running with the ball, with a grimmace on his face. Like he's running to the toilet with severe gastro..[/b] Better than Sunday strolling (stop, pause wave at team mate, announce to opposition who you want to give it to & then give ball to direct opponent.
He likes the rough and tough stuff more than Davey and has more urgency than Wells.ye Ha
Reminds me of Maxfield quite alot in this regard. good stuff
If Wallace can harness his eagerness then will have a great player. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
Why did we ever get rid of Stewie? Can someone remind me of the situation? MT?

You won't spot Tambling in Melbourne nightclubs closely followed by minders.Hmmm, that's a well aimed barbed comment. Not in inverted commas, so I'd say it's from the person who wrote the article.
He is articulate and disciplined.
Plough's put in a strong defence of Tambo in EOTT. Said he's amazed by the criticism Richie receives given he's a wonderfully gifted footballer. Too much emphasis is placed on who is taken before whom in drafts with Tambo stacking up well against other No. 4 picks.
Terry still hopes he's around to coach Tambo when Richie is 24-25 years old. Said he'll be a future champion player who'll play 200-plus games for us and be a future leader. Against Freo he showed what he had to offer over the next 10 years. His run, carry and goalkicking ability broke the game open at times.

exactly what i have been saying and noticed , his leadership is far better than anyone in his draft year also, including lids
if you look at his matches per goal it is not bad ...
he is a wing/goal kicker ... i can't see him in the midfield because he is a running player !!!

Richie has the potential to be even better than Lids, just has that feel to his game.
But X you are seriously selling Lids short. One thing he certainly hasn't been is soft as you seem to always ellude to. Consistently racks up about 6-7 contested possies, on the weekend he got 10. Will be a brilliant player and I think it is time you got back on the bandwagon :thumbsup
X I seem to recall your previous avatar as being a cat doing pushups with the label of Lids ;)
Agree with your post X, but i don't see why we are arguing, we still do have both Lids and Blingers :thumbsup
Richmonds answer to Judd and Kerr perhaps.
was super pleased with his efforts and courage v freoAgree X. Lids really put his body on the line a number of times.
this is old news ...
he signed at the start of the year !!!
there was a thread a long time ago on Tambling's signing !!!
between the line i read "bye bye meyer"
he signed at the start of the year !!!

im with you
i recall late in teh season last yr they resigned him , up along with lids, polo, and pato, and also meyer but meyer just for the 1 yr cos they knew is heart and desire in non existent .

Bling was not re-signed with others last year X because he was already contracted for this season.
Early this season (around round 2 or 3) the Club said they would sit down and work to re-signing him - that's what they have announced today. Deal has only been completed int he past few days (source = Chutney ;))

We obviously going to be patient with Cass if we're giving him a new deal.
also, did anyone see blingers on the news with terrys tuesdays. this kid once again has proven he is not camera shy, speaks clearly concisely and confidently. he imo is showing all the right signs to being a future captain!Agree X. Having the responsibility of being a dad would make him grow up quickly as well. A very level headed bloke :thumbsup.

I always thought that he would go to the Bombers as he said this when he got drafted that he prefered to go there. But now he has no intentions of doing that I will pay more atention to him. Good new for us.I think nearly every indigenous kid from the NT would say that due to the promotion Sheeds has done for the Bombers up there after all these years.
Reckon confidence might have a bit to do with it also.
Amazing thing the power of the mind.
No excuses though, Coburg it is.
Has he played enough games to qualify for finals at the burgers.
If so will do a lot of good for him and others to play against men under finals pressure, albeit at VFL level.
Has he played enough games to qualify for finals at the burgers.Need 7 VFL games to qualify IIRC.
Each week, his game is improving a little more and his attitude and approach to the contest is certainly on the rise. Richie is now winning a lot more of his own ball . . . he had 10 ‘hard-ball gets’ last Saturday (third in the team in this area on the day, behind Foley and Tuck). He is not relying on others to get him the ball, he’s starting to go and win it for himself.
http://210.50.4.102/rfc/
Blingers' still got a long way to go and needs to work harder like most of his teammates but the kick up the backside (being dropped back to Coburg a couple of weeks ago) appears to have got him back on the right track going by what Plough says in EOTT:He lacks exceleration in my opinion from watching him ( he who hesitates is lost)QuoteEach week, his game is improving a little more and his attitude and approach to the contest is certainly on the rise.

He's got it but Tambo needs to still learn exactly when to use it both offensively and defensively. The later should be where he starts to use it properly. Bump up his workrate and run down a few opponents.Blingers' still got a long way to go and needs to work harder like most of his teammates but the kick up the backside (being dropped back to Coburg a couple of weeks ago) appears to have got him back on the right track going by what Plough says in EOTT:He lacks exceleration in my opinion from watching him ( he who hesitates is lost)QuoteEach week, his game is improving a little more and his attitude and approach to the contest is certainly on the rise.

People will probably disagree but I reckon Blingers has taken another little step over the past 2 games. Good to see him at the bottom of packs.
Just two things Richie. You don't play on and try to weave around and beat the whole opposition all by yourself. And watch the hips of your opponent so they don't get around you.
No doubt Tambo has a long long way to go yet mjs but I thought he took a step forward with his in close work where we want him to play. He wasn't just a receiver. It was out in space where he made those silly play on errors.People will probably disagree but I reckon Blingers has taken another little step over the past 2 games.

Sorry to disagree - he was one of the few disappointments on the night - too many errors and plays like he's still in the under 18s. A long way to go yet.

Wallace should make some exceptions for Tambling, by that I mean, Tambling needs to be told...just play footy son and dont worry about all the technical stuff the coaches probably go on with. Let the boy PLAY the way he wants and the way he knows how. Dont feed his head with crap, let him do it on instinct. Hes an aboriginal boy, let the kid play, I betyas he find his way through the maze. It may cost us sometimes, but he'll start doing stuff more often that will amaze us. Hes a confidence player, let him loose, take him off the lease and let the kid play the way he wants.
Good signs tonight.
Been a tough year for him, especially with all of the comparisons with Buddy etc.
If he can build on tonight look out.
he has to stop his "stop/start" approach to taking on runners.
Might have worked up nth as a kid but it wont here
Agree peggles. Getting dropped a few weeks back seems to be the tonic Blingers needed. He also doesn't seem concerned about his shoulder since coming back either. He's willing to throw himself in the bottom of contests and win the footy.Good signs tonight.

thought he's really increased his workrate in the past few weeks.....although he got towelled up by kerr in the 1st half..i mean...c'mon...there aren't too many guys in the afl who doesn't get towelled up by kerr....despite all that...i felt he really worked hard in the 1st half...chased, and ran into space to present....that's good signs....showed that he's really willing to work hard.....keep it up richie!!!!....the talent is certainly there.....another good pre-season to get his fitness base up and to put a bit more muscle on so he can break the tackles now....then it's all goood!!

The one thing I still believe Blingers needs to work on is the defensive aspects of the game. Not only tackling (reading the hips) but just not overcommitting himself too early at centre bounces and getting hurt the other way by gun midfielders like Kerr. Kerr is so destructive because he stands defensive side of the contest and then times his runs perfectly that he's at full tilt when he hits loose ball and he's away and out into free space before his opponent can do anything about it. Blingers got lost out of position a couple of times under the bouncedowns while Kerr waited just that fraction longer to read the tap and then go. It'll come together for Tambo with more experience in the midfield. Sure he's no Franklin but they are completely different footballers playing completely different positions anyway.
just a Q, is Kerr indigenous, popular thought is that he is but I read somewhere that he isn't ???Apparently not according to this site. Wirrpanda the only indigenous player at the Eagles.

Of course he's indigenous,it's just a matter of where from originally.
kerr is not abo,
he is mauritius
when will terry and greg miller come out and admit to choosing the wrong player in the draft, tambling as good as he may become, will never be a match winner like franklin. the same goes for the bulldogs (griffen).how handy would franklin be next to richo and brown, the thought of it brings tears to my eyes.
why do you assume that franklin would be as good at richmond as he is at Hawthorn
bluey you must be the typical richmond supporter,think of the present and not the future.think of what franklin will be like , his marking will only get better with size and experience,and nobody can match him for size and speed. he has kicked 3 goals or more 11 times,tambling hasnt touch the ball 11 times all year. so what if everyone rated tambling better at the time of the draft. its not at the draft or when they are 18 year olds that they win games for you, its when they develop, and i dont see tamblings body developing much more. he is listed at 74 kg. if we are talking deficiancies, his skills are below par, his never accountable, he refuses to chase when he doesnt have the ball. rather than leading up from the forward line and taking maks which he does very well. he should be giving us run like others his size ( foley and lids ).
my 6 week old boy could run away from tambling the way his going. so bluey what your saying is while the tigers are playing good fotball tambling is going to struggle, well it looks like tambling might struggle for another few years. 6ft 5 or 5ft 10, you do the maths, i know who i would have.

bluey how many front runners do we need in the team, and X im yet to see tambling win a contested ball this year. if you are happy with the way he has played this year, you are kidding yourself.

its still early days, and we are happy with blingers.
dont worry duddy wont be starring too much longer, he has had a very lucky yr
btw blingers has ben played out of position up til now
terry has finally realised that blingers is an inside onballer who loves contested possessions and being creative
duddy cant win a contested ball and is a show pony and you watch him fall as fast as he has risen

I give Richie my full support but i agree with Ramps on this one.
We all know that hindsight is a wonderful thing and Buddy had a lot of issues hanging over his head but his performance yesterday pretty much stamped him as the hottest property going around in the AFL.
Hopefully Tambo can have a strong pre-season and build on his form over the last 4 games.
if Buddy Franklin was so good then why did Deledio win the Rising star & not Frankiln ???
the franklin , tambling issue is well and truely dead. but certain people at the rfc and on this site need to admit, tambling will never be as good as franklin, and never will. just admit we made the wrong call.

Uh..there were 4 players drafted ahead of Buddy of which Richie was the 4th. Why is it only Richie that is compared to him? Surely if he is so good questions should really be asked of Deledio, Griffin and Roughead.
when will terry and greg miller come out and admit to choosing the wrong player in the draft, tambling as good as he may become, will never be a match winner like franklin. the same goes for the bulldogs (griffen).how handy would franklin be next to richo and brown, the thought of it brings tears to my eyes.

People criticize our drafting of smalls, but the Dawks don't have many in their side. Franklin, Roughead, Croad and the ruckmen
So how did he ever last until pick five in a national draft given his God-given talents and a 196cm frame that was evident at the 2004 Under-18 National Championships in Victoria?
There is no simple explanation, rather a number of puzzle pieces that when placed together persuaded the recruiting people, including Hawthorn, to let Franklin fall through to their second pick (the Hawks took Jarryd Roughead with their first, No. 2).
Every draft has a Franklin story, as recently as Joel Selwood (seven) last year, Beau Waters (11) in 2003 or Nick Dal Santo (13) in 2001. For Buddy it reads like this:
1: Doubts on his overhead marking, meaning a lack on contested marks would see him become a third tall rather than go-to man.
2: Blatant disregard for the defensive side of the game, so often prevalent in child footballing prodigies.
3: A poor under-18 carnival of 2004 (despite a matchwinning goal against Vic Country), confirming his talent would be spasmodic at best.
4: A belief his mental application, on and off the field, might ultimately prevent him from reaching his athletic capabilities.

Its all about premierships isn't it.Exactly!
Premiership Score since 2005
Richmond 0
Hawthorn 0.
Yeah no more Buddy crap for another 6 months ;D
"Better than Carey" :rollin
Carey took contested marks :whistle
Ummm..... :D
... and didn't need minders to stop him from being a d!ckhead
i think it will be tambling who will be a future captain at the club. he has a few things to achieve before then but he has all the right attributes.
could be our "longy" really :thumbsup
"Look out for him this year," says teammate Brett Deledio, picked three selections earlierat No. 1 in the 2004 national draft.No pressure eh Lids :wallywink
"He is reallysetting the track alight. I don't want to put too much pressure on him but he is really doing some special things. We can't wait until he fullygets to his potential.
"I think he has been unfairly judged. Buddy (Franklin) has come out and done this and that, and Richie Tambling is going to be as good, if not better, I reckon. When that comes, the support will change for him and everyone will be on his side."
“No matter how bad your day’s going, you go home and Tyson says something cheeky or smiles at you and you’re all better again.”
in my opinion blingers is 10 times the man and player that buddy is!

But sheesh! Buddys input today makes you think..."what if?...."
it kills me to say but geez the guy is a superstar
Not a good day weekend so far to see Buddy, Roughead, Kruezer, Griffin - if you know what I mean :(
but dont worry the time will come when everyone will say, the tigers did the right thing getting tambling and he will get reward for all his hard work and effort, on and off the field
sick of ppl comparing draft picks with other clubs picks.
were stkilda stupid for picking ball over hodge???
what about every team that picked a player b4 geelong who picked selwood
can tell you now if deledio and tambling were in a stronger team with stronger leaders they would be untouchable right now.
but like richo has all his career, they must perform and stand out in a pathetic team.
as soon as our team starts performing and has debeloped watch how good these players will be.
they take longer to develop because they dont have the experience and team support around them as others do
and about buddy, he has never busted his behind nor his guts out, he kicks alot of goals but is just the finisher of his teams good hard work
i have never seen buddy work as hard as tambling, at the moment buddy is basking in teh sunlight, but dont worry the time will come when everyone will say, the tigers did the right thing getting tambling and he will get reward for all his hard work and effort, on and off the field

nothing wrong with comparing. its a forum isn't it.
as for buddy. well im sorry i can see tambling at best being a average-good player
buddy is a supestar/game breaker........... end of story
to be honest if u ask me right now id take even roughead before tambling. Those KPP are so hard to find its not funny
in my opinion blingers is 10 times the man and player that buddy is!
Would say he is a very confused footballer, who would be better off at another club
tambling is a confused footballer because he is surrounded by a bunch of idiots who cannot play the game
the reason we were winning so many clearances were cos of tamblings inside work.
but its not his fault they keep handballing the ball to him just as he is about to be gang raped by 2 or 3 pie players
problem with tambling is that he is made look lik epooh cos of the team around him, even deledio is not looking no where as gooid as he used to thanks to the dunb poohs he plays with
so all these idiots asking why did we get blingers over buddy, well why didnt we get buddy over deledio
dont point the finger at tambling, point it at sugar, tuck, richo, brown, bowden, petticoat, chippendale and newman
tambling is a confused footballer because he is surrounded by a bunch of idiots who cannot play the game
firstly Tambling isnt going as bad as alot of people think, hes actually doing some very decent inside work thats going unnoticed.
on a completely new point about development, when RFC recruits a player from interstate, ie. Rance or Gourdis, why dont we leave them in there home state for 12 months allowing them to develop at home and getting better development, i cant see how Coburg 2s is helping our young players.
not blaming richo and newman directly for tambling. just blaming the hole senior groupo as a whole as to why none of ur kids have developed at the same rate and class as kids from other clubs
playing our kids alongside these tools has damaged their progress
the time has come to cut ties with all our senior group and let the kids do it their way
its funny how terry punishes the kids more than the snior group and its teh senior group that screwing us over
I agree that players such as Petts and Bowden give little to the club at the moment. In fact I am sure there is younger players on our list that would out perform them on the field as well give half a chance.
Petts should step aside to allow players such as Reiwoldt (faster lead, great engine, great mark and at ground level, natural leader and, most importantly, is a team player), Hughes or even Putt or Collard (if he is elevated).
firstly Tambling isnt going as bad as alot of people think, hes actually doing some very decent inside work thats going unnoticed.
he is starting to get the ball & dispose of it well with speed
maybe Browny got a new stock of Nodos & shared them round this time ;D

Blingers coming along nicely. Not just getting more than 20 possies but I thought today was one of his best efforts defensively. 6 tackles and was involved in some key 50/50 wins in the contests.

really happy with him. ill be the first to put my hand up to say i think this guy will struggle, however i am really glad to be proven wrong. i just hope he keeps it up.
Awesome game from Richie, even better than the one against Freo. :thumbsupAgree bluey. It seems Blingers is starting to belief he belongs out there and his confidence is growing. He also seems to be enjoying the extra responsibility that comes from being a key player in our midfield.
I would blame the conditioning a staff a bit for that, he doesnt have guns or the core strength yet like Deledio to stick tackles. You can see the application of it is correct but he doesnt have the core to throw them down.
Tambling was far from out of touch tonight.
Once again he looks like a player, throwing himself in to get the hard ball and dish it out.
I dont why people think he can do it cleanly every time, it's one of the toughest things and it's going to eff up sometimes, that's all part and parcel of being an in and under rover.
I'm impressed, the kid is growing in stature and getting recognised more and more every week.
On ya Bling. :thumbsup
Blingers also had a injury interrupted first year compared to Lids playing every game and winning the NAB rising star award.I would blame the conditioning a staff a bit for that, he doesnt have guns or the core strength yet like Deledio to stick tackles. You can see the application of it is correct but he doesnt have the core to throw them down.
suppose...although he's certainly improving in his strength.....we gotta remember that deledio was always bigger bodied than tambling.....he'll be alright...everyone builds up muscle in different speeds..
i actually think deledio MAY have built up a bit too much over this past summer...hasnt' really displayed that electrifying speed we know he possesses...doesn't often run away from the defender...shouldn't worry tho...getting some conditioning into him over the season and the next pre-season should do the trick in taking that extra bit of weight off....his future is definitely in the midfield..I think they've learnt the hard way that they need lids to spend more time in the midfield so he doesn't need that extra size. So they'll probably will take that extra bit of weight off.
Blingers is coming along nicely now. Not a standout performance by no means but he's showing some consistency now. Some crucial courageous inside efforts diving on the ball to hold it up when it looked like the Saints would clear, and he had 5 clearances himself.

Who would you have if you had a choice? Foley or Tambling ?
The answer is obvious

Are you sure about that? I have it on good authority, from a renowned expert, that Tambling is 10 times the player that Buddy is.
Now I think that's a slight exaggeration - he's probably only two or three times better but this expert is always on the ball so to speak. He's already got 301/1 on Richo for the Brownlow so he knows his stuff.
What did we all think of Tambling the half-back flanker tonight?

...right now he still handballs too early when in traffic for my liking...perhaps he still believes he's not physically strong enough to shrug them off.....with time...he should be fine..
Agree RROFO and peggles. I too think Blingers is down on confidence atm (failed to keep his feet a couple of times on the weekend). So hopefully that top last quarter recharges his self-belief to take the game on....right now he still handballs too early when in traffic for my liking...perhaps he still believes he's not physically strong enough to shrug them off.....with time...he should be fine..
He's was caught a few times doing that early on. Don't think his confidence is great ATM. Think he found the extra pace of AFL a bit hard to handle to begin with and was being caught when he didn't expect to be caught.
He'll work it out no doubt.
How did we rate Blingers game today - 19 disposals, 5 marks, 7 tackles, 3 clearances, 4 clangers and a goal?
Didnt like the way he ducked his head when he "" attempted"" to mark a kick in , in the last quarter. Even though he followed up with a tackle, he should have marked it i the first place, trade him I say :thumbsup
And his name is not Tambling so we will let that one go through to the keeper? ::)Didnt like the way he ducked his head when he "" attempted"" to mark a kick in , in the last quarter. Even though he followed up with a tackle, he should have marked it i the first place, trade him I say :thumbsup
I liked his game today but then doesn't say much cause he has a horrible year this year...
But jack u mentioned he ducked his head when he attempted to mark. I noticed axel did the same thing..
Middle of the ground instead of going for the grab he pulled out and never committed. Very soft play and im sure it was a one off because he is a little gem that bloke.
I liked his game today but then doesn't say much cause he has a horrible year this year...I agree he's been average in recent weeks, but he actually started out the year pretty well. He was playing an inside midfield role and was doing pretty well.
For anyone who wants to trade Richie and our 1st round pick to West Coast for Kerr have a look at last nights game and imagine in 3 yrs time how good he will be.
Must not and cannot happen.
PS Now that we have moved up the ladder and out of the early draft picks just wondering who we should look at around pick 8-10? I personally wouldnt mind Tom Rockliff (small goal kicking forward).

He was great last night and actually the last 2 weeks, i feel has been 2 of his best games for our club.
i want to see more of it..Interesting to note in all his 70 odd games last night was the third time he has had over 20 possessions.
Im pretty sure thats what i heard SEN say after the game.
The only way to silence people like me is to perform like that. He was in the votes no doubt about it, and it was great to see

That's what makes him so dangerous to the opposition - he is unpredictable, elusive and takes them on. While other players try and run and around the defenders, he skips through them and takes the shortest route, breaking the lines and causing the opposition all manner of headaches. I was at the game also and he was the best on ground for mine and kept providing run when the rest of our team seemed dead on their feet.That bold part is what was my criticism of him in the first half. To me he often didn't take the shortest route or first option. He'd gain the footy then his first instinct was to run backwards to do a U-turn (sometimes back into traffic) when if looked forward first he would have seen a teammate forward of the contest in space to whom he could've handpassed to. I have no probs with his unpredictability it's just if the simple option is the best one then take it. After half-time he did straighten up and run direct and that made all the difference. Maybe he got a little word from Terry at the main break. I don't mean to bag him as his last quarter was brilliant and his ability to still run hard and quick deep late in the game was a major reason why we came back and won :thumbsup.
I'm excited by his increasing impact he is making on the games
Stripes
I disagree. I think he will give us the run, unpredictability and flair we will need to destroy teams in the future. Was rated as our best player in the Herald Sun today.
Just getting his act together

What is real alarming with this player is that in some instances he tries really hard and 5 secs later, he actually gives up, Sat with Tigers for Life at last nights game and pointed this out, he actually did give up.

What did we all think of Tambo's game today?
He looked good on a HBF and has actually become a bit more versatile, he's getting better at grabbing the ball first go and is fast becoming pretty trusty in a tight spot. He is marking the ball out the front of his eyes as well as ever too. People have been quite rightly critical of him not getting enough of the ball, he is finding it more often now and his usage gets better all the time.
said it from day one, he is our next JON.
Quotesaid it from day one, he is our next JON.

( i presume ur talking about draft day)
Fiora was worth Simmonds.

The guy has improved every year so far, so how about you wait until the season is at least underway before getting the knives out.
Will carry the burden of the Buddy comparison for the rest of his career. Any young player who shows tangible and significant improvement every season will be given (and fully deserves) time to let that improvement mature. Tambling has shown that improvement in spades and he can still get much better. Get off his back - he is easily in our best 22.
He compares himself to Buddy so no need for any of us to do it for him. I
You only have to listen to SEN, Talk back callers, respected commentators in the indutry to know every one thinks the same about him.
Wallace said there were extenuating circumstances behind Tambling's poor performance on Monday.
"I will say in his defence that it has been a pretty big 72 hours for him because he had the birth of his daughter two evenings ago and he got no sleep the day before the game."
"But I heard the reaction of the crowd (to Tambling) and he has got to live with that."
"He is one player we rely on and he didn't live up to his side of the bargain today and where that leaves him from a selection point of view we will see as the week rolls on."

One of a few players who would benefit from a fresh start and a clean slate. There's a 200 game footballer in there somewhere but its not coming out under the current system.
Send him to WA - I dont care if its WCE or Freo - We can still get something for Tambling if trade him at years end.
Do you think the pressures of having a family at a fairly young age is affecting his football career?
Boo Hoo!Do you think the pressures of having a family at a fairly young age is affecting his football career?
good question, it may be affecting him.
another thing affecting may be playing for a club which has supporters that dont support , just criticise. the kid would be affected by all the crap written about him by so called supporters

As a player when you cross that line you are there to play, no excuses if you are on the paddock.
Very, very dissapointed in that crap dished up by RT and am leaning to the suggestions that he should be made to earn his spot in the top side by repeated high performance at Coburg.
Can't wait to see who you want to replace him with.
I cant see how we achieve anything by giving him a kick while he was down, you could tell by his body language that he was beating himself up!
Anyone with eyes could see he was lost yesterday, he ran to the wrong spots every time, his team mates knew he was out of place and for a player who has some good skills Richie just wasn't clean.
In his defense he missed last week with an injury and no matter what a new baby would effect your thinking.
We all have bad days and most of the time he is well and truly in our best 22
He is not going to be Buddy Franklin, get over it but he could be a handy player for Richmond in the future - (he is 22)
Richard Tambling might say "Who needs enemies when you have non supporters like some Tigers fans"
I for one haven't lost faith in Tambling and if he get's dropped back to the 2's its only to get his confidence back.
Gee for a learned footy fan like yourself, Daniel, you dissappoint me. Bucks never read an article on himself? Is this the same bloke they call FigJam and have done since his high school days? If there was a photo attached to the article then maybe you are right :lolDo you think the pressures of having a family at a fairly young age is affecting his football career?

thats the biggest load of pooe i have ever read.
He like all footballers is paid the big bucks not to read crap in the paper. Bucks i read once never read anything in the paper and im sure other footballers do the same.
He was chosen to run, chase, tackle get his hands dirty and he does none of that.
4 years and he has touched the ball 20 times or more in a match, only 4 times. supporters still carry on about his 1st Quarter against the Eagles.
Id say he is worse than JON, and thats saying something

Good on ya Camboon :thumbsup , honestly I am glad that you can give him a 100% support still.
Personally though as Matt said his performance gutted me the most on the weekend in a dismal weekend. I have stuck up for him in the past but that performance he put in hurt and hurt bad.
I will still back Tambling as I have seen enough over the last 4 years (this is his 5th) to believe he is in our best 22. He has improved every year, was one of best in round 1 who could hold his head up (let's be honest there weren't too many).
I'd be interested to know how many hard ball gets he gets because for mine he is one of our best at that.
Did he have a shocker on Monday? Yeah he did and guess what he aint the first and he wont be the last. It's how like the rest of the team he comes back from it that is going to be the most important thing
And just on this focus that commentators have on players not putting defensive pressure on their opponents.
I have been saying for yonks that it is something that is glaring with kids coming through today, in that defensively they dont appear to be "good" at it
I really do wonder if they are taught or if any focus is put on teaching the defensive aspect of the game to them at Under 18/junior level.
Not great but much better from Blingers today. 16 touches, ran the lines straight and worked hard off the ball. Richie this is the minimum required. He obviously got some sleep this time around lol.
Needs to do more plain and simple.Good point Tucky, i agree! But he can still make it i believe! He has pace and he does have skill but i think he needs a rocket up his bum with a message that says, "you can play!"
Needs to increase his work ethic and get 25 touches on average every week win lose or draw.
16 touches although some were nice is nowhere near enough.
We can't let him off the hook merely because we won.

disagree, he with nahas set the scene for us, tambling played hard and tough early on and was a good player, stats mean poo, he had 16 importand touches, and found space many times and was not used, the sides lack of vision coast him 8 disposals at least.
tambling is important to us and was very good last night
wins alot of hard ball for an "outside" players

He actually looked very determined last night and a tad angry, hope he brings that to every game from now on in.
Very pleased with the way he took opponents on.
In my opinion we have got the 2 worse Aboriginal players in the AFL.Two words....
They are VFL players and this is where they should stay.
Both did a little bit but not enough to save them.
I know I will be slammed over this but this is what I think.
Look at anyother teams list with Aboriginal players and they ge far more out of them thatn we do.
But even with the win we had others than need to be looked at but these two need looking at the most.
Good to see stereotypes aren't out the window.Tambling for being a high draft pick should be showing better that he is. That is the major point to it. No more no less.
Not all "Aboriginals" are the same I really wish that all AFL supporters would let go of the "all aboriginal playes have to be as quick as Aaron Davey and ask skillful as Andrew McCloed".
Who cares where they are from, they put there head over the footy for our jumper Saturday night and that's all I ask for every week.
Well done JON and Tambs enjoy the trip up to Sydney.

Richard Lounder - Anthony Banik, 1st pick for Terry Keys etc, Life doesn't come with a rewind button and there are may decisions that we should regret more than recruiting Richie. He is still a kid and apologies for the stereotyping but it has been noted the some of the indigenous boys take longer to develop.

Hard to amass huge possessions playing on a forward flank for a large part of the game. Our guys playing in the middle only had about 9 more possessions than him...and if you look at his accuracy it was pretty high..in the 80%'s. It appears that some players are judged by a whole different standard than others...Lids and Newman and Cogs can have some diabolical turnovers and yet no comments...........mmmmmm!

CONSISTENCY!!!!
1 good game doesn't make a season. He needs to build on that and do it for the rest of the season.
l thought Tambling was fantastic in attacking the ball & using his pace. His starting to break the lines & will only get better now the preasure is right on him to perform :thumbsupSorry to disagree, but I do. He has had longe enough to be a main player for us but he isn't a consistant player.

I think he did do a few good things, but with the expectations I had for him, he has let me and us all down.
When he is good, which only happens a very few times, he is good.
Then when he is bad he makes us look so bad.
I hope the writting is on the wall for him as I can't see him being a top 22 player ever.
.....
And when he is ordinary, he isn't worth being on the feild.

McLeod is a champion and cant think of a better role model for Ritchie.Amazing to think that when Andrew was Richies age he had 2 Norm Smith medals to his name.I know that the game has changed in 10 years but I do find the below stats interesting.
Tambling at 22 years of age(2008) averaged 17.4 disposals per game.5.1 marks per game and 3.3 tackles per game.0.4 goals per game.
McLeod at 22 years of age (1998) averaged 17.5 disposals per game.3.5 marks per game and 2.2 tackles per game.1.6 goals per game.
It is a credit to McLeod that he was able to shine on the biggest stage....However it wasn't until he turned 24 and in his 6th year that he started to average over 20 possesions per game in a season.That is why I still have hope for Tambling.

All quiet on the much maligned Richie front. His past 3 weeks must have been decent :thumbsup.
If he can get his goalkicking on the run from 40-50m out sorted out he'll be even better. So a 27 possession game turns into 27 possession plus 2-3 goals. Kick through the ball always Blingers. Mind you it'd be easier for him to kick more goals for us if his teammates after receiving the ball from Richie actually look and see him sprinting into an open forward 50 with no one between him and the goals instead of passing to a contest with 1 Tiger up against 2 Brisbane players :scream. Not sure if this play was picked up on the tv (we were kicking to the Richmond end) but it was comical if you were at the ground and summed up the whole day. You can blame Wallace for some things but geez some of our tunnel vision players are just plain dumb :rollin.
jon was the main culprit , hence he has been dropped
All quiet on the much maligned Richie front. His past 3 weeks must have been decent :thumbsup.Make that 4. An alright game but Richie is starting to show some decent level of consistency where even an alright game is still contributing - 19 possies, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 8 inside 50s and a goal.

And this type of output still doesn't satisfy some on here. It wouldn't matter if he won 2 Brownlows - prejudices run deep in some people.
as l said before its only a matter of time before he becomes a Cooney ;D
dont any of you take that as me being rascit either ;D but it sounded funny when l read it but l posted previous he would come of age
was happy with his game yesterday
Contender for BOG, was given by 3AW I think, but I thought Lids was better as did Channel 10
Regardless, he's having a pretty good year and has really stepped up to the required level.
Funny how TigerTime thinks people will consider Tambling elite by the end of this year, but he still thinks Deledio isn't elite when he's been doing as much as Tambo for years now.
Double standards much?
Tambo is having a very good year and I'm wrapped to see him play well. I never had many doubts as I saw his steady improvement so other than saying he's had a crap game when he has, I've never considered him a dud pick like many have and some still do.

i have never said the deledio is a poo player, have always said he has elite talent and skills, just lacked work ethic to fulfill them
so eff off and dont change my words to pump up ur own ego and small idiot syndrome
pathic tossbag, i have repeatedly said that deledio does not gut run and work hard enough when it counts so f o u imbecile
However you HAVE said he's not elite YET
You are already claiming Tambling will be by the end of the year
I stand by my original comments of double standards
pathic tossbag, i have repeatedly said that deledio does not gut run and work hard enough when it counts so f o u imbecile
After the Brissie game last year I said it was the best game I'd seen Tambling play
It got overtaken in a massive way last night - Tambling was sensational
Love seeing him being the go to man coming off half back for us.
His gut running last night set a benchmark that the entire team should aspire too
Tackling and defensive pressure was fantastic and his work off the ball (guaranteed not picked up by the TV) was an absolute stand out
i rest my case , seems wp even can see what i see in blingers
by the way, polo was fantastic also :thumbsup

yeas dean was great - it was a very good night for the draft class of 2004.
Even the much maligned Patto - did some great things defensively that would couunt as stats but he consistently makes contests :clapping :outtahere
amazing ;) ;)
amazing ;) ;)
Yep....
Players playing and actually looking like they want to be there
I think I've seen a light ;D :thumbsup ;)
Was not even the boys best game against WCE.A one quarter cameo in a game we lost versus a dominating game we won where he had 6 goal assists ???
I remember Blinga kicking four goals, in 1/2 a quarter against WCE when they were a good side.
I wonder how the comparison with Buddy looks for 2009. 5 possies and 1 goal today against the Lions look poor.
I know SEN talked about it this morning but maybe some Tiger supporters should be getting a couple of sly ones back on all those Hawk supporters giving us grief these past few years....

LOL SO true see his waistline, its actually getting larger as the season progresses. he looked very slow in tassie, 5 kicks, seems to have lost some agility too
i remember a young gun called richo, have the size pace and agility, started his career with a bang like buddy, but maintained it , buddy will fade away except 4 his waistline
ritchie will make all his kickers eat their words esp the dawk fans
1 down 43 teammates to go lol:D
Now I'll know what's going on if he does the chicken dance at a centre bounce.I believe that happened after North's players visited the hynotist ;).
He was hypnotised before the round 3 match against the Dogs but the hypnotist forgot to snap his fingers to wake him up.:lol
ive got it on good authority and is FACT that Huchty is sacked from his position with his current media outlet........
The turnaround by Richie in the past two months is quite amazing and more importantly he's showing consistency to play at this new level. He went through his first 4 years hardly ever reaching 20 disposals and now he's pulling out 30 possie efforts. They're not just cheap dreamteam stats across HB either. He's setting up attacking and scoring opportunities with his run and carry. He's gone from being a maligned player to one where you're going I wish we had a few more like him.

SIR RICHARD TAMBLING I
Dont think i have been more wrong about a player.
He may just be the guy i think everyone wanted to be.
Best and Fairest at this stage is a formality for him if it were decided now.

I agree but the knighthood is going over the top :gotigers

Not a silly suggestion either although at this point I'd like to see Blingers show this continual improvement for a sustained period (rest of this year and next) and see him cope with likely tags before he's truly considered as a candidate for the captaincy.

By watching Hawthorn this year I think we are getting an insight on what kind of difference Buddy would of made at Richmond.
We may of played finals last year but overall I think we would still be a bunch of disappointed and frustrated supporters.

Yes I was ;D
It is amazing what effect actually enjoying playing the game can have on a player
Was a star again on Saturday night at that "not up to AFL standard" ground
His possession stats this season are very encouraging.
Have been every season since he started. Only the impatient Chicken Littles impressed by Buddy's 2 good years in a successful side that didn't see it. Not so good when the ball ain't comin' down is he.
Well two things here:Richmond sells; the Dogs don't. When you think about it why did the Dogs choose Griffen over Buddy when they already had a zillion mids and have been crying our for a big key forward for years. They'd be premiership favourites on current form if they had Buddy at FF alongside Johnson, Aker and Murphy and their gun midfield delivering the footy lace-out.
1: It is about time they started paying Tamblig some respect as the media are the ones that have crucified him since that draft and look at him now.
2: Why they keep bringing up Roughead and Griffen is beyond me. We were going to pick Roughead at pick 4 but the Hawks picked him at 2 so we did not fail there as we picked Deledio at 1 over Roughead; so a win there. We could not pick Griffen at 4 because the Dogs picked him at 3, again a win there as we picked Deledio at 1. The only so to speak bad decision which does not stand that way at the moment was that we picked Tambling at 4 and they picked franklin at 5.

Statistically Blingers has improved each and every year but this year his game is more complete and rounded and that's what really is standing out. He's contributing both with and without the footy and his skill level has improved out of sight. As wayne said you feel very confident with the ball in his hands. His "quieter" games are now still solid games. He isn't going missing or looking soft. The week before against Carlton he wasn't starring but his workrate was excellent (9 tackles proves that) and he was contributing and disciplined in defence. Probably the main reason for his improvement is his workrate is now reaching the levels required. A lesson for all our players. At only 22 he hopefully has further improvement left in him still.
Btw any reason why Rawlings moved Richie after half-time from half-back where he was dominating to half-forward? :whistle
How good was Ritchies 6 bounce effort during the second quarter.....Shades of Micheal Mitchell at the SCG.
Definately a contender for Goal Assist of the year :lol
Dont Know what you have to do to get a "delicious" comment from Bruce these days ? Not even a "special".
Any footage anywhere of the 6 bounce effort? Very Michael Mitchell like but without the goal on the end of it :thumbsup.How good was Ritchies 6 bounce effort during the second quarter.....Shades of Micheal Mitchell at the SCG.

Yep was calling that, should of had a shot! would of snagged goal of the year.
But very team oriented and well done :clapping
so true, have always seen them as cut from the same block- Hope Richie wont end up with brain damage half way through his career - top man Mitch , not sure if its from his mum or dads side.
Recovering from compartment syndrome, had both his legs sliced open in the preseason
Not much to replace him with so persist with him
Way way way too early to call on this, two more years at least before we contemplate his demise. In a good/very good side he will be a star. He needs to improve his fitness and the only way he can do that is to be injury free, when that happens wait and see.
Recovering from compartment syndrome, had both his legs sliced open in the preseason

Excuses excuses excuses Infamy. Yes okay he has injuries but so did Richo, Bux and many other players but does it stop them getting in there and laying the hard tackle. NO!!!
he is a downhill skier and you could see that most times he steps out on the field,
Nahas half the size of most in the team and its laughable that he is our best tackler.
When i saw that vision of Tambling standing at the back of the pack ive seen enough of him. He must be traded to GC17. They will take him in a heartbeat and we can demand a first round pick and most likely get it.
He is a dime a dozen flanker with no defensive skills whatsoever, has no left foot and cant take a mark if his life depended on it.

And what pick will we get for him Tucker, pick 30 odd, waste of time, lets stick with him, what, he is 22? I could name another 30+ players that we have had on the list before waiting and waiting and waiting and developing and developing and then nothing. At least Tambling is better than what we have persisted with in the past.
Harsh calls have to be made.
List Management is all about keeping currency. Is keeping Tambling and hoping he clicks, which he's failed to do for 6 years worth risking a potential teen pick in the draft?
I'd be leaning to no. He's been given an enormous amount of oppurtunity with a dozen different positions to see where he is best at.
For both parties I think the best case scenario is Tambling goes to a top 4 side where as depth he can be a very damaging player where he can play as a goal assist type player like a Varcoe or a Schnieder.
Richie is a great guy, but the AFL is a business now and unfortunatly some tough calls need to be made. However I hope this isn't the hardest call we make at the end of the year.
We would have to get pick 6-10 for him or we would have been Ottens screwed over again, wake up people if we can't get a top ten pick for him in this years compromised draft why the hell would we bother. How much talent is going to be around after GC 17 and then our pick 4, then the other teams picks. Lets not get shafted.
Its all about his currency.
WAT he's not worth a first round pick. Just cause he was pick 4 doesn't mean he's a pick 4 on field.
Farren Ray is a better player and was a pick 4. St.Kilda traded for him with pick 31. We cant expect for much better. If we are so lucky we may get a mid 20's for him.
We risk playing him another year or 2 hoping something happens in him that has failed to happen for 6 years or bite the bullet and roll his currency on another player.
I'm afraid there are better odds an unknown 20 something pick can contribute as much as Ritchie does and would play for a max 15 years compared to Ritchies max 10.

We rolled the dice with Rodan when everyone thought he was down and out look at him now, I don't want to see the same mistake made twice. We also bungled the Ottens trade so we had better tread carefully on this one or we will as usual get hung out to dry by supporters, media and the AFL community.Rodan was going nowhere at Richmond and he's been gone for years now. I'll say it for what feels like the millionth time, getting rid of Rodan was the right decision and it certainly shouldn't dictate our policy on holding on to players moving forward.

Tambling is a VB gone rotten, Trade ASAP as far away from Vic so he wont use our future taxes ;D wouldnot make top 100 in a indigenous side

Many of us have fought the "Tambling" cause on OER.
After 6 years and 100 games I am running out of patience.
Very expendable at the moment.

As it stands right now gc 17 would offer up a second rounder for tambling.
They need recognized players and he would fit them perfectly.
He is no good for us, never has been from day 1.
Big difference between rodan and tambling wat is rodan has better skills but above all else is so much quicker.
People should watch Richie closely he moves like one of those donkeys in Greece and hardly gets his hands dirty. What he has dished out this year is rubbish
Rfc should look at past mistakes like Schulz and petrified and use that as an example of what will happen if we hold onto players that we don't need.

Rodan has had 3 BOG already, funny if he wins the Brownlow heyYep, hilarious, cause he won't win it, not even close

Couldn't pick the ball up cleanly off the deck despite almost not having to bend down to get it he's so short
Ran around in circles

Bounced the ball the moment he took posession no matter what which slowed him down
Never took the first option
For someone who writes off so many of our kids before they've even matured, you sure do over rate some players massively

if you think tambling is quicker than Rodan you are dreaming pal.
You should watch Tambling again this time a lot more and see how fast he really is. HE IS SLOW and when recruited he was laballed quite quick well guess what he aint working hard enough. He doesnt even look like a footballer. Does he talk out on the field?? Not as much as he should. He aint the type of player you want to build a premiership around, much like Wells but Wells is so much more a player than Richie so GC17 take him off our hands and lets get someone who isnt a shy timid little pussy into our club

The 1% have improved, hes playing a different role from what I can see. Anyway not worth getting rid of him for not much when hes still better than most of our list - it was his first game back from injury.
Anyway another negetive, if you can throw anything positive our way about the future it would be lovely - LOL
Kunta Kinti _ What a clasic - great line :cheers
He won 2 B & F in the TAC Cup compGo back and have a look at the history of players who win the Morrish medal
Tambling is not slow , hes fast. He's not the worst in our side and the chance of getting anything reasonable for him is low. He is improving but hes not to the level we expect.
Hes definitely the best Richmond whipping boy available. Who else can we pump our vitriolic negative poison into - I know, how about the coach of 7 games who inherited the biggest basket case. :clapping - :gotigers -LOL
average players dont win dual Best & Fairest in years the TAC was full of great talentYes they do
just asking but
did this guy really do a hammy or did he throw in the towel bc he was having a howler on his 100th? :shh

Had nothing to do with how he was going on the night - can guarantee it (source = Chutney)
The doctors thought it was a hammy at the time but after scans it was found that it wasn't strained or torn just had tightened up (can be an after effect of compartment syndrome surgery being at higher risk of muscle/leg injuries). If he had played on he could have torn it so the took the precautionary approach
Seems this year unlike last year we dont' send blokes back on if there is a slight doubt on injuries :clapping

Had nothing to do with how he was going on the night - can guarantee it (source = Chutney)
The doctors thought it was a hammy at the time but after scans it was found that it wasn't strained or torn just had tightened up (can be an after effect of compartment syndrome surgery being at higher risk of muscle/leg injuries). If he had played on he could have torn it so the took the precautionary approach
Seems this year unlike last year we dont' send blokes back on if there is a slight doubt on injuries :clapping
WP, you are undermining this forum with factual, well balanced and unbiased posts! We prefer unrealistic, name dropping, bigoted and racially tainted posts on this forum!

has anyone met Rich?
It's a crying shame that such a nice bloke gets picked up by the worst club and loses all confidence in himself.has anyone met Rich?
Yeah, I've met him several times. He seems like a nice fella. Friendly, level-headed, mature for his age. A good family man. Can't play footy to save himself though.

Hardly unbiased, you might find the WP is on Richies Card Christmas list ;) :shh
i dont rate tambling at all as a player, hes crap, but all bias aside it was a legitimate question bc u dont often see players missing just a week with a hammy, now tell me:
what part of my post was unrealistic, where did i name drop, which part was bigoted and racially tainted?
lmao at some drama queens
How bad has the compartment syndrome surgery affected him WP?
It looks to be significant to me.
Just does not have the speed or mobility that we saw from him last season.
If it's not effecting him at all then I am really concerned.
However if it is then like Cotchin, Foley etc. he has a genuine excuse for his poor/struggling start to the year.
so what ... these personal vendettas and interests are hurting our club. Everyone should put aside there personal opinions based on emotion etc and call it how it is giving fair appraisals for all.
Tony M, trust me the comment was not directed to you at all! This thread has had some people make comments with racial undertones, and has recieved comments from people who have , lets just say, an agenda against Ritchie! I was merely commenting rather sarcastically that WP is one of the few people who post on here with factual and well balanced comments. Some others post crap and qualify it with a :thumbsup or a ;) to add mustard to the story! Sorry i included your post in the quote, you are entitled to your opinion, i just dislike the rubbish that a select few post (and you are not one of them)as it has no factual or well grounded substance to it!just asking but

How can people keep bagging Tambling and not giving him another go this year when a couple of people have already mentioned that he is carrying and injury or still recovering from an injury. Are you the same people that will bag the club for not managing his rehab properly if we move him on and he stars in another team or bag the club yet again for poorly managing him?? There are IMO many more players to move on than Richie and I think you will find the club will not get rid of him, I would be surprised if they do.
All this talk about trading him for second and third and fourth round picks is stupid, why don't we just burn him at the stake for pick 88. Really look at it he was pick 4 and up until now, recovering from an injury all year, he played pretty damn good last year. If you followed the Hawks would you be calling out for Rougheads blood????? Probably!!

WAT you need to start reading posts if thats possible. read carefully. The club would be doing a diservice to us members if we didnt throw his name out there for a possible second rounder. GC17 need a marquee player and while he aint a Buddy or a Nick Ruey he would slot nicely into their team.
If he is injured or recovering, therefore not performing at 100% then you tell me Einstein WHY THE eff IS HE OUT THERE??????????????????????????
he crosses the white line then he is fit to play i dont see Mick malthouse making excuses for his players because they are recovering from an injury.
Richie has been given ample time to perform regulary at the elite level and 6 games at the end of last season when clubs are going through the motions, does not wash with me.
He is protected from the club IMO and its time he puts up or goes back to Coburg. If you want our team litterred with dime a dozen Half back flankers who are slow then go for it. I would prefer to build a team around players like Martin, Tuck if only he were younger, and Nahas because he shows that tackling is between the ears, got nothing to do with size.
I really hope you're not this much of a tool in real life, jack. I would hate to have somebody like you at the club at the moment.

Let me first say sorry for not reading every post carefully and agreeing to them, it's just not possible... ::) Tucks not younger why bring him up or are you trying to build our team around him Martin and Nahas, your comment doesn't make sense, Martin and Nahas fine but why bring Tuck into it, do you have a time machine?? If the club is going to be doing a diservice to it's members by not putting Tambling up for trade then we are going to be diserviced up the behind at the end of the year because there are about another 10 players we could put up for trade before Tambling??
BTW please call me WAT, I think you have me confused with a certain person that came up with the theory of relativity, hang on, have you built that time machine already... ;D
Your point is valid, but whats makes you think we would get reasonable compensation for him.
I still think he worth a game ahead of alot of others who are getting game, IMHO they are experimenting with his game style and he is struggling with fitness (fades out).
Can anyone out there (apart from Jackster) confirm his latest assertions that;:lol
A he is a good bloke
B he doesn't kick the ball like a girl
Yep pretty easy for King to say now isn't it!!
what's even funnier is they expect it to happen out of the blue as if it were some kind of religous miracle :rollin

I actually agree with you
David King on 3aw talking about Tambling......
What you see now from Richie is what you'll get.
tambling will be a tiger for life and will be a champion
he is not 100% fit, dimma knows that, the rfc knows that
u guys just dont get it
The wolves.. :whistle
The wolves.. :whistle
The Moles :whistle
He is not an A Grade player, so he has to go as trade bait.
He has fooled a lot of people when he first got drafted.
And we have found out that he isn't up to scratch when it comes to actually playing alongside opposition.
I don't know how he rates in that supercoach but it would be interesting to know.
Still I think overall he hasn't shown what he did when first drafted with all that promise.
If anything he has gone backwards from then.
Yep pretty easy for King to say now isn't it!!
Yep pretty easy for King to say now isn't it!!
like Wallace saying Deledio will never be a top mid after he gets the sack.
hole. >:(
Contracted 'til when ???
Maybe, maybe not but..perhaps what you see with DK is what you get too.
A failed assistant coach, with little cred, who didn't develop our players and is now making a crust in the media at our expense. :P
Instead we have tambling hanging out at the back of packs waiting for the ball to come to him.

Agree Mr Magic very poor form by David King. Easy to take pot shots from the cheap seatsInstead we have tambling hanging out at the back of packs waiting for the ball to come to him.
daniel you've made some very good points in this debate. :thumbsup
But I find you last comment an interesting one. Only because what happens if that is the role he has been asked to play by the coaching staff. Then how can you be critical? I think I said earlier in this thread that sadly we have no idea what specific roles players are given on a week to week basis.
I have no idea what role he is supposed to be playing, personally I'd play him off the HBF and throw Lids in the middle. I think Tambling played his best footy as the running HB flanker last year and his disposal by foot is good so having him there instead Lids with Lids in the centre I see as a much better option.
ANd just on blokes hanging out the back of packs. I am not sure if this showed up on the TV or not but a number of times when the players spread, like Tambling; Nason could be found on his own between the HFF & wing. Rance & Nahas to name a couple of others did it as well. So it was clear to me that; that type of set up is part of the game plan
Are Frankston Pines still going around?

thats the type of nonsense comment Id expect a Victory supporter to make ;D South is getting its team of the century award tonight or tomorrow not sure. Ill post pics in here!
It's been said before and I'll say it again Tambling is just another dime a dozen half back flanker that is very expendible.
another full season will see him blossom into a player
another full season will see him blossom into a player
this is a beautiful set up job by monk who has heard the rumours ... in 12 months Monk will re live this thread with one phrase
"I told yas So"
sheesh i suppose if we play him long enough hes bound to play some decent footy sooner or later. but for how long.another full season will see him blossom into a player
this is a beautiful set up job by monk who has heard the rumours ... in 12 months Monk will re live this thread with one phrase

of course he will blossom ;D he will be at home in his brothers facility. he will has all his brothers around him & he will play some good footy :thumbsup
I still don't believe he's fully recovered and back to full fitness after his leg surgury. He needs to get the miles in his legs to get back to full fitness.
well what can you say about his game. weak insipid pathetic are 3 words i use to describe his game again. 13 possy's :banghead :banghead
Webberley, Nason, and Nahas amongst many others have now gone past Ritchie. He needs a new home and a shrink to help him with his problems. He is not right out there blind freddy can see that.
DH DO NOT SIGN HIM UP TILL END OF SEASON. THROW HIS NAME OUT THERE PLEASE!!!!
I suppose he didn't have an injury when he kicked that nice goal in the third but magically his ailment flared up earlier in the game and after that goal.If you learnt about the nature of his injury rather than just rip into him then perhaps you'd understand
Would rather he not play if he's carrying a niggle because he can't give 100% because of it. Some players can and obviously Richie can't if that is his excuse. Low pain threshold. The way I see it if you cross that white your fit. All sorts of players do it. Richie can't its as simple as that. Excuses have run out lamentably for him. Time for reality to set in.

In comparison Wells has only just started playing solid consistent football for the first time and he's 25 years old now.

why do we sometimes say that when footballers cross the white line all things are equal,and injury is not a factor,yet other times we say that a player is still recovering from injury...which is it to be?

Correct - I really don't think people are fully aware or want to acknowledge the seriousness of the surgery he had over summer. Compartment syndrome is extremely serious and the surgery takes considerable time to get over.well what can you say about his game. weak insipid pathetic are 3 words i use to describe his game again. 13 possy's :banghead :banghead

Now daniel, I know you don't like the bloke you've made that blatantly obvious but if you had your anti Tambling glasses off for just a monent today you would have cheered goal in the 3rd quarter
And hopefully you applauded his attack on the ball in the final qtr and screamed abuse at the cowardly umpire who didn't give him a free and the equally cowardly Hawks sniper that kneed him to head while he was on the ground...
Was he one our best = Nope but he bloody well attacked the ball today and if you couldn't see that then clearly you don't want to
And just on Nahas - it would be nice if he kept his feet. He cost us today as well with his constant going to ground
We cannot wait around for him to get it right or get his off field issues sorted out. we have a duty of care to help off field yes i agree but not when it comes at the expense of the club if they choose to hold onto him.
There's a difference between carrying an injury and returning from an injury. Some you should be rested for and we have been overly cautious this year with ensuring players who have a niggle aren't gambled on. With Tambling he's had the surgury, it will take a good 6+ months of running to recover fully from it, but the only way he'll get over it is to keep increasing his work load at the highest level.I suppose he didn't have an injury when he kicked that nice goal in the third but magically his ailment flared up earlier in the game and after that goal.If you learnt about the nature of his injury rather than just rip into him then perhaps you'd understand

Wait a sec Infamy. I understand some injuries are worse than other but if he can't play 100% don't play him since it is that serious as it has been said on here. If you cross that white line you are declared fit and ready to play no excuses. I have nothing against Richie I am still waiting six years for a breakout from him week in and week out from this kid not another litany of excuses on behalf of him. Just me mate and my opinion nothing personal to you WP or anyone else who want to take a different tact as me regarding Richie. :thumbsup
Going one handed for the ball as he has in all games he has played this year has nothing to do with the injury to his legs of course he may have an injury to one of his arms that you may like to fill us in on. I apologise for the irony in advance also. :thumbsup
Should be a bit easier for Tambling now that we have Deledio, Cousins, Foley, Martin, Cotchin etc up and running in midfield.
I think he's struggling to break out and be consistent over 4 quarters. He hasn't been in our best any game this season. I'd change things up for Tambo and play him as a Varcoe type FP where he might kick a few and grab the headlines.

Now that is a good idea :bow :bow I agree 100 %. He is better than he has shown this year and i would love for him to be better as he is important going forward.
How can he be over rated if hardly anyone rates him
If anything he's one of the most maligned players in the competition
Playing Injured well I dont believe that one bit. He had ample games to recapture the form of late 09 but as yet as given us nothing.

yes i do so lets just see how he rides out the rest of the year. Come Round 22 what excuse will it be then.
He needs a full pre season under his belt?
He needs a new position?
Enough of the excuses his time is now till Round 22
Ive heard every excuse from getting help from a shrink to he misses home, to his injury which has still not heeled so i think for someone who has played over 100 games he has given us very little return. Tivers played just under 200 and people bagged him till the day he left so Tambling deserves every critcism he gets till he starts producing the goods.
If he turns the corner great ill happily eat my words, but what if we get to Rd 22 and he is till producing rubbish?

I totally agree... Tambo just looks like he will not change .. i hope he proves me wrong but for now i cant see that happening :-\
his only issues are that he has effhead supporters like u who have no idea
ease up, X

Beat Milne when he was on him, they should have kept him on him, but better still should have manned Newman up on Goddard - did you see his passes into the forward line to Milne- best Ive seen!
worked really really hard tonight and got better as the game wore on, but farrrrrk me he fumbles a lot!For those couple of fumbles he also had some fantastic clean takes under pressure down back.
if he had clean hands he'd be a damaging clearance king, so many times he was in a position that with a clean takeway he'd be off like a rabbit.
liked his game tonight.
liked his game tonight.
watched him for most of the 2nd half. Spent 10 minutes running around a 40 m arc looked lost, barely raised a jog. Went off , came back on and drifted in and out of the game like a feather. Farmer has a tenth of his talent bit works twice as hard.

Definitely improving week on week as he gets his fitness back, he was good tonight

what does he do that is elite?
And don't say work rate because he spent 15 mins running around in circles in front of me.
He is just a player.
u talk poo
blingers busted his behind last nite, worked real hard all nite
think u drink too much at the footy and dont pay real attention
cant believe how many ppl out there watch footy yet have nfi!
was in our top 5 best last night if the truth be told, he cant be faulted on last night. 7 tackles was his best for the year im sure.
Tambling had the same kicking efficiency as the team average on the night and only 1 clanger in his 15 disposals and 7 tackles down back. He was also the only small defender who was able to keep Milne quiet when he was on him, however he was moved off Milne for Farmer to take over.The thing with judging players at this level is, if you give a player enough game time he will do some good things. Lets face it, if a player gets to this level he is obviously a very talented footballer. IMO the only way you judge an AFL footballer is by how many mistakes they make compared to how much out put to the team they contribute.
I swear some people just look out for the mistakes he makes and list them so they can come on here and bag him. He played well tonight, was one of our better players. There were only 4 Tigers with more Champion Data points than Tambling and he had exactly the same score as Dustin Martin (98). I know stats don't mean everything but I did watch the game and he did well, the stats just help prove it.
He is still young and I think we can forgive a few error.i would argue that hes not an established player apart from 14 odd games last yr.geez uup unto his purple patch the majority were calling for his head.
But what this topic is about wasn't free from doing a lot of the same things too.
But he is an established player.
Lost it? ....CUB did he ever have it?agree, he never had it...time to go
I've been a massive supporter of Richie's and copped a fair bit for being so...and I don't apologies for it
But today was a shocker and even I can't come up with anything positive to say
If he is injured in any way he shouldn't be playing but they say he isn't so..... :-\
Agree MT he needs a spell in the VFL
His attack of the football is embarrasing and he is the only one on our list who has gone backwards 50% at this time last year.
He's been playing a more defensive role this year but...
I agree, he needs a rest. If he's injured he shouldn't have payed but regardless this year he would be one of the worst performed every game.
I don't think we need to delist him but a trade may well be a serious consideration at this stage unless he suddenly turns his career around quickly or we find out he is doing something crucial for the side we are just all missing :(
Stripes
I just wonder where ALL Tamblings supporters are. It's very quiet after today's effort from little Rich.What's the point, it's like de ja vu in here every week
Is X still sleeping???

Getting minimal return after six years and over 100 games.
Getting minimal return after six years and over 100 games.
I hope Richies kids are a) boys, and b) can play footy.
We might then get some return on investment in 16 years.
During the game I thought he was handpassing alot. I have just looked at the stats which have confirmed this. No creativity. His confidence this year appears to have been totally shattered.
17 actually, he had 12 in 2009 alone, including 31 against AdelaideDuring the game I thought he was handpassing alot. I have just looked at the stats which have confirmed this. No creativity. His confidence this year appears to have been totally shattered.
in 100 games of footy he would only have got over 20 possy's no more than a dozen games.

Richie is out there following Wallaces game plan perfectly, running in circles, turning the ball over, not going in hard. Unfortunately for Richie, Wallace has gone and we have a new easier gameplan.I actually wonder if it's the opposite, I still believe he's not 100% fit, however we know Tambling has played his best when he plays on instinct and freedom. The structured defensive game I think has stifled his natural game.
wow i was 5 off the mark. How could i be so wrong?Tambling hasn't really been played as a midfielder for a long time and Nason's stats don't put Tambling to shame at all, he averages 12 disposals a game compared to Tambling's 12.5 this year (13.6 in the year he turned 21, which is Nason's age now and averages 15 disposals a game for his career so far)
17 out of 105 afl games for a midfielder...go figure.
Nason stats put Tambling to shame

How could i be so wrong?Tambling hasn't really been played as a midfielder for a long time and Nason's stats don't put Tambling to shame at all, he averages 12 disposals a game compared to Tambling's 12.5
17 out of 105 afl games for a midfielder...go figure.
Nason stats put Tambling to shame
Not going in hard? You have got to be joking. What a load of crap, Wayne. By the way, please show me where he "turned the ball over" on sunday. I'm after specific examples.
Richie is out there following Wallaces game plan perfectly, running in circles, turning the ball over, not going in hard.
17 actually, he had 12 in 2009 alone, including 31 against AdelaideDuring the game I thought he was handpassing alot. I have just looked at the stats which have confirmed this. No creativity. His confidence this year appears to have been totally shattered.
in 100 games of footy he would only have got over 20 possy's no more than a dozen games.
Richie is out there following Wallaces game plan perfectly, running in circles, turning the ball over, not going in hard. Unfortunately for Richie, Wallace has gone and we have a new easier gameplan.I actually wonder if it's the opposite, I still believe he's not 100% fit, however we know Tambling has played his best when he plays on instinct and freedom.

Secondly, brilliant work infamy. On two occasions you exposed daniel's assertions as incorrect. But does he acknowledge his mistake? No.
I know exactly where Nason is from and how many games he's played, that has nothing to do with what you said about his stats putting Tambling's to shame. Simply they don't so stop talking out of your ass.Richie is out there following Wallaces game plan perfectly, running in circles, turning the ball over, not going in hard.

ooh i think you need to search a little more and then you will realise Nason has played only 15 games and was plucked from Central seconds IIRC.
He has been given a chance at AFL which Ritchie seems to take for granted.
ooh and did u forget how many goals Nason has kicked this year? Once again Nason stats make Tambling look like even more of a dud.

If all you have is that Nason has kicked more goals than Tambling, then just say that rather than say his stats put Tambling to shame. Also stop putting words into my mouth, I never said Nason's stats don't compare favourably, I said that Nason's stat's DON'T put Tambling's to shame.

you must be effin stupid or you are simply are a few cents short of a dollar.
Nason stats include 13 goals this year. How many has Ritchie got.
Last time i checked stats include goals just like kicks, handballs and anything else so you my friend are the one who is talking out of ur behind.
Please tell me again how Nason's stats dont compare favourably to Tambling. Please tell us its funny
Tambling doesnt play midfield bla bla bla Tambling doesnt play anything. Every position he plays someone finds an excuse for him.
In almost every game this year he has struggled hence Dimma has at some point moved him forward so he had ample opportunities to score goals and hasn't. Weak as pee he is
I can think of several. If you give me a day or two I would be more than happy to provide you with the specific times, in the particular quarter. Will that suffice?Not going in hard?

Would this argument be occuring if Blingers was taken at, say, number 36 in the draft?
You are right tony m, but my point is he cops its because he was taken so highly ( and we didnt take him high then someone else would have) and thats not his fault!Would this argument be occuring if Blingers was taken at, say, number 36 in the draft?
no bc he would have been delisted 2 years ago....
The fact he was pick 4 is the reason so many ppl still have so much faith in him, thinking 'he obviously has the talent so will come good.'
So you can't come up with a specific example of him turning the ball over?Not going in hard? You have got to be joking. What a load of crap, Wayne. By the way, please show me where he "turned the ball over" on sunday. I'm after specific examples.
Hard isn't just about diving into a pack, it's about gut running and pushing yourself as hard as you can. Richie just coasts.
Well he had 82% efficiency on the weekend, but only having 11 disposals, three of them kicks, helps put the percentage up.
Okay, here you go, DCrane. I'll go no further than the 1st quarter:I can think of several. If you give me a day or two I would be more than happy to provide you with the specific times, in the particular quarter. Will that suffice?Not going in hard? You have got to be joking.

All good Tony M! :thumbsup I never thought you were getting personal with him and believe it or not but i think he has been terrible too and agree with you on most issues although i believe there must be an underlying issue, perhaps injury, that may be a factor!You are right tony m, but my point is he cops its because he was taken so highly ( and we didnt take him high then someone else would have) and thats not his fault!Would this argument be occuring if Blingers was taken at, say, number 36 in the draft?

absolutely go richo 12, its not his fault he was taken at 4 and believe it or not this is not personal. Yes he was rated in the top 4-5 players of his draft, yes he would have gone to another side as a high pick regardless, but for whatever reasons he hasn't come on and developed like most expected him to.
also this is not a "not playing good enough for a top pick" cry, this a not playing well enough to have a spot at an AFL club cry. The bloke is the worst player in our side this season by a fair margin. An example of a player who doesnt get many touches is white. Havent been a fan but he's had a clear impact on five or 6 games this season, collins the same, nason the same. Tambling has been as inconsequential on the side as matt dea was in his 3 games ie zero impact. Its sad and time to move on - nothing personal just business and knowing when to cut your losses

(1)A few minutes in there's a ball up. Riewoldt goes up in the ruck and taps it towards goal. Tambling puts his head over the ball, goes in low among the knees of 2 Nth players, collects it and hanballs as he hits the ground.
(2) About 3 minutes from the end of the 1st quarter, 10 metres from goal, Collins miskicks, Riewoldt tries to grab it, ball slips loose, then against the traffic Tambling goes in head first for the ball. As Commetti commentates, "head down goes Tambling". It was the very definition of "going in hard for the ball".s like yo
Dcrane - you asked, I delivered.
this tamnling bashing has become effing ridiculous
all u wankers should pull ur heads in
will tambling be part of the back 6 next season?
FB: Newman - Thursfeid - Tambling
HB: Astbury - Deledio - Connors
Has anyone else heard the rumour that Rt has signed on another 2 years?
I think he signed a three year contract in the second half of last year.
Thanks Guys! How did he a contract that long?Has anyone else heard the rumour that Rt has signed on another 2 years?
I asked Chutney and Chut said what tucker has typed - has another 2 yearsI think he signed a three year contract in the second half of last year.
With all due respect X, I don't think it has got anywhere near the dizzy levels of bashing Bowden, Johnson in their heyday!! ;D
And somebody was saying that with our new regime we no longer persist with duds, hoping that they'll one day blossom :(Has anyone else heard the rumour that Rt has signed on another 2 years?
I asked Chutney and Chut said what tucker has typed - has another 2 yearsI think he signed a three year contract in the second half of last year.
Richie was due to go to Tassie to have two hip operations this week or last, club pulled the pin & said have the ops now so you can come back & have a full pre season.
[Comment From John John : ]If Blingers is contracted for 2 years then he could only go to GC via a trade.
Robbo - Tamblings days at Richmond must be numbered?
Tuesday August 10, 2010 12:33 John
12:33 Rumor has it GC-bound but I don't know why the GC would go after him. Is struggling badly, maybe the worst of his career
Some news on Tambling from BF :
"Been sighted in Hobart getting surgery on both hips. Sounds like his injury was fairly serious."
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18750335&postcount=1
I find it very concerning that he had surgery on his calves and now his hips. Both problems will be related and the question is, are either of these surgeries addressing the root cause of the problem or are they just addressing the symptoms?

Actually WP Hobart is the "in" place to get orthopedic surgery nowadays.
Can't name them off the top of my head but IIRC there are at least two high profile players who have gone to Hobart for surgery.

Wow, he's a lucky boyThe Club must think Blingers had an injury-interrupted year (re: hips).
Hope he plays some good footy :pray
is this the same person who says Hislop has signed a new deal also.1. No
how reliable is the source???
Duncan from Y&B said Tambling told him that he got a new 2 year deal a month or so back.I was told yesterday so it backs up what Duncan said :thumbsup.
Tambo goes alright when he is fit. Owls gonna put his little avian balls on the line here and say....Tambo is worth the bet! You can all pee and moan at me later on if he is epic fail and gets delisted/traded.
Tambling, so far, is about 100 games of Afl footy better than JON!Tambo goes alright when he is fit. Owls gonna put his little avian balls on the line here and say....Tambo is worth the bet! You can all pee and moan at me later on if he is epic fail and gets delisted/traded.
Tambling is the JON of this team and in fact the competition. Weak as pee.
i would select Farmer and Nason before him any day of the week

I'll got out on that limb with you Owl. I reckon we just started to see a measure of what he is capable of in the second half of '09 and then his whole '10 season was cruelled by injury so I'm prepared to give him the benefit of that doubt. But I have to admit, he is starting to run low on chances!
If we are wrong you can all munch on Smoked Fluffy Owl balls.

Chutney has confirmed
He has 2 years remaining on his contract but it hasn't happened recently - was extended quite some time ago
I disagree! Rt would probably thrive at another club if it had greater resources than ours! Also, JON played at the same club in the same era as RT so the games measurement still stands!Tambling, so far, is about 100 games of Afl footy better than JON!Tambo goes alright when he is fit.

a player should not be measureed on games played as he would've been lucky to play 80 in a descent team.
In that lot of 100 he has played about 10 good games, all at the end of 09
The tripe that he has dished up since drafted has been unnaceptable for a pick 80 let alone pick 4.
No point in trading him now when he's at his lowest value
I will put it down now that in our Crystal Ball thread for 2011 that I will put Tambling as most improved player. Just hope he recovers from the hip surgery well and can get in a full preseason.
Firstly Taylor plays a completely different position to Tambling so not sure of you you are comparing themNo point in trading him now when he's at his lowest value
I will put it down now that in our Crystal Ball thread for 2011 that I will put Tambling as most improved player. Just hope he recovers from the hip surgery well and can get in a full preseason.
But even when he was fine and came to the club he gave us nothing .. No sign of a great player in teh making ...but when he plays he looks like he is in his mid 30's .. shoudl have given him teh boot ages ago.. let Taylor take his spot

Also Tambo has improved every single year in his career up until this year when he had compartment syndrome surgery and hip surgery.
Remember he came 4th in the B&F last year
I still believe that Blingers has been a victim of poor development!
I still believe that Blingers has been a victim of poor development!
okay well we will see next year wont we. :banghead :banghead
the thing is GR12 is that all year we heard on this forum and from others that he was playing to the direction of Dimma.
then when probed as to what position that was the reason of his poor year quickly turned to his injury. Year before was something else.
The year before that was the whole buddy thing.
This guy is a walking waste of $300k a year. Along with Mcguane and Mcmahon we have wasted millions of dollars on duds
I find it hard to see fault in the club B&F votes seeing they are cast by people who work with the players and actually know their instructions in games.
As for your he come 4th in the B & F well Sugar won ours and what a great leader he was. Bowden who most dont like on this forum finished with 2. Schulz im sure finishes top 10 a few times and what a great inspiration that idiot was.
He's running out of chances Bling, these 2 years are his last chance.

Schulz has never finished top 10.

is it half back. Ooh no thats right he wasnt suited down there
Was it in the middle? ooh no thats right he wasnt suited there either.
Was it forward line? Ooh sorry i forgot he aint a forward so no go there.
Tambling whilst his stats show he has improved he is a very slow and aging footballer. He plays like he is carrying the whole team on his shoulders, thats how slow he has become.
Weak as pee.
As for your he come 4th in the B & F well Sugar won ours and what a great leader he was. Bowden who most dont like on this forum finished with 2. Schulz im sure finishes top 10 a few times and what a great inspiration that idiot was.
you are kidding yourself if your going to throw that chestnut around.
Tambling is 23 years old.[/quote]
Daniel is there a player for the current Tiges that you actually like and that you actually liked from the outset, as in that you never bagged? Genuine question.
The club must see something in him that I don't see.
Tambling is 23 years old.
Thomson I thought was a bit unlucky with injuries. I would of like him to had a good uninterrupted run in the guts to see what he had. He showed a bit in a few games that I watched. What was your knock on him, just thought he was no good?Daniel is there a player for the current Tiges that you actually like and that you actually liked from the outset, as in that you never bagged?

I hope he stays.Agree Mr Magic. I also hope he stays.
Would be selling him off at an all time low.
I feel sorry for the kid and the tiger fans who bronxed cheered him this year were pretty embarrassing, in my eyes. However, its been 4 and a half years of excuses and poor performances with Tambo, and only half a season of good footy. We wont trade him (he just signed a new contract), but i would take almost anything for him.
If he does go, i hope he does well at another club.
the 2004 draft is something we should try and forget. Only Deledio is a star. Tambling= Average, Meyer and Pattison= long gone, Polo= will be delisted this year and McGuane could be traded.
Thursfield is not bad

Comparing kicks and marks and goals between 2 STOPPERS is irrelevant, it's the goals they have had kicked on them that really counts. I cannot remember Presti back at Wills age but if Will turns out as good as Presti has, Richmond supporters will be very happy. Presti has been awesome at what he does.

Interesting comment Infamy so I thought I would have a look at some comparative stats. I took it at the end of 5 years development, not counting Will's year missed with his knee (1 game of a few minutes only), so after 5 full years of development each:
Thursfield - 245 kicks (3.7), 359 handballs (5.4), 197 marks (2.9), 89 tackles (1.3), 0 goals, 4 points.
Prestigiacomo - 322 kicks (4.7), 221 handballs (3.2), 129 marks (1.9), 48 tackles (0.7), 2 goals, 0 points.
That would tend to indicate that Will might be a better player than Presti was at the same point, not taking into account the relative roles in the team that each player was given early on. Probably 2 main areas that would be of some concern for Will is that he is 11kgs lighter and 2cm shorter so where Presti can match a heavier, slightly taller opponent (~95kg, 195cm) Will would most likely struggle as he is giving away too much weight and height. The weight he can probably do something about but he's not going to get any taller so it might limit how many players he can play on as a spoiler - Presti has no such restrictions really.
I feel sorry for the kid and the tiger fans who bronxed cheered him this year were pretty embarrassing, in my eyes. However, its been 4 and a half years of excuses and poor performances with Tambo, and only half a season of good footy. We wont trade him (he just signed a new contract), but i would take almost anything for him.Sorry Willy but he deservrd everything he got that day, it takes a lot for Tiger supporters to turn on our own but this clown (and when i say clown i mean it literally the way he fummbles the balls so much) needs to be shown the door. Forget about what number he was drafted and admit we made a MASSIVE mistake and move him on. He is JON only about 7 games better. Would take a Mars Bar and a can of coke for him at the trade table. And enjoy them both more than i have watching Bozzo.
If he does go, i hope he does well at another club.
Statistically wise theres not a real lot between them is there? As for the height, I don't believe that 2cm is a real lot as such. It's a pity they don't give us one stat that is used in boxing - that is reach. Look at troy taylors arms. His extra reach allows him to play taller

It's not irrelevant, its just not the complete picture but given that the stats allowing us to make a completely subjective and accurate comparison don't exist then it was only ever an exercise for interests sake. You could reasonably draw a conclusion that given both players played the majority of full seasons in the last 3 of the 5 I used to compare, then both must have been doing a fair job in their respective team roles. STOPPERS (accentuated because for some reason it seems to matter) cannot afford to only be STOPPERS - they must remain involved in the team play in many ways such as link man, 3rd man in the contest, filling space etc etc and that's why the stats only provide a small measure of insight into the relative value of each (and why I said "not taking into account the relative roles in the team that each player was given early on" in my original post). When he was younger, Presti was an honest toiler who no-one would ever have placed much money on playing so many games or having such value to his team - he seemed to develop slowly and under the radar until it gradually became obvious that he was a good player and integral to his team's success. And I agree 100% that if Will becomes as good a player as Presti then we will be very happy campers - I just think he is behind the eight ball with regards to his build.
Totally agree Smokey, need to put on some size or he will get left behind.
Ok so he's got another 2 years, does anyone know if he will be there 100% ready for day 1 of preseason? or will the surgery keep him off the track for longer? bc the only thing worse than giving this guy a new contract is having to go through another year of excuses for bad form. :rollin
KB on his show this morning said we're going to put Tambling up for trade and he most likely will end up at Brisbane. It sounds like he's been reading BF.

Err... yeah as the thread title suggests. Although as I have mentioned it wasn't done recently it was done late last year but anyway I digrese
Just becasue you have a contract doesn't mean you still can't get put up for trade. The only thing is a contracted player must agree to any trade if he doesn't then he doesn't go anywhere
So in Tambling's case to be traded he would need to agree to it
So the contract is believed to be? Or ??? Why sign then? Would there be more money for him if he gets traded?
sounds like a direct swap for houli
Richard Tambling's future at Punt Road appears all but over following interest from several clubs, including Essendon.
Tambling, 24, is contracted for another two years, but it is believed the Tigers are amenable to a trade.
The first-round national draft selection in 2004 has played 108 games in six seasons.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/richmond-hunts-dons-midfielder/story-e6frg7mf-1225924289184
would want a pick as well - a houli/tambling direct swap is a major loss for us IMHO.
3 club trade.. jetta leaves bombers to eagles we get eagles second round pick,tambling off to bombers and we get houli..
bobers lose jetta and houli gain tambling
eagles lose second round pick gain jetta
we lose tambling gain houli and second round pick
I don't have a problem with us trading Blingers if it's part of scoring another high pick for us but for a fringe player such as Houli :help.
Effectively Blingers for pick 30 as adding Houli in doesn't make that trade any better :-\. That doesn't do anything for me. In a normal draft it'd be equivalent to trading Richie for a pick in the 40s. The only reason I could see it justified is if the Club knows something about Blingers' hips that no one else knows and we are cutting our losses before anyone else finds out.would want a pick as well - a houli/tambling direct swap is a major loss for us IMHO.
Yeah agree Houli is OK hes not worth even an out of form Tambling.
Tambling for Houli and 2nd pick.
If and I mean if we trade Tambling we would need a good player and a first round pick in, a pick under 12, otherwise we have been screwed IMO.

Trying to be optomistic for a change, instead of continualy taking crap for our players that we took so early in drafts. Ala Ottens, we got screwed there and have been ever since. Why can't we push the trade boundries like we have been pushed over the years, or should we just take it up the behind again... are you laughing from all all the past trade years???
Like WP says he has to agree too.

What your club needs in trade week

WHO would have thought anyone in football would ever utter these words: Richmond should be desperate to hang on to Richard Tambling.
Finally the Tigers are believed to be open to the possibility of trading him, feeling he may never reach his full potential.
The problem is too many Tigers have done exactly that when they leave the club - Jay Schulz, Brad Ottens and David Rodan among them.
The Tigers would at best get a second-round pick for former No. 4 draft pick Tambling - something in the 40s or 50s most likely.
For a player who only turned 24 this week, surely there is more upside in keeping him.
The point has been made that the club's new redevelopment at Punt Road was gained by funding lobbied for by indigenous role model Tambling.
Clubs are more brutal than that - if it's their time to go, then they go.
But Tambling as a player is actually the type that Richmond needs - quick outside line-breakers who can go forward and kick goals.
We don't see it nearly enough from Tambling but surely his trade value has never been lower.
Why not give him one more year and then trade him if he can't get his act together next year?

From what I'm hearing Tambling could be used as part of a trade to secure Mundy.....Western Australian team appear very keen to obtain Tambling who they feels talent is far from realized at Richmond. :-\
Ralph being a Richmond supporter understands ... the supporters understand why not the management?
.......feeling he may never reach his full potential.Who is "them"? Those 3 are it, there aren't any others. ???

Yep , a crap lack of research statement. For starters Ottens was All Australian in 2001 playing for Richmond. Has he been AA for Geelong ? Can't say he didn't reach his full potential at Richmond.
Schulz ? well Geez how long do you hang onto a bloke for waiting in hope. I really doubt you can blame Richmond for his lack of developlment.
Rodan , give me a break , the bloke did his knee and couldn't get a kick in the magoos the whole next season. Hardly richmond's fault
I don't think we really stuffed the picks up that much. At the time we chose players to fit our needs with those later picks, unfortunatly it was one of the shallowest drafts of all time, the players we picked just never came on. If you have a good look back at that draft from pick 12 (Meyer) there are only about 5 or 6 guys that have really done anything! and of that lot Shermin at pick 45 would the the pick of them. In hindsight the biggest mistake we made in that draft was not going for a key position player with our second pick (Buddy :D)
Apparently X is down there

Who'll roll the Richard Tambling dice?
* Mark Stevens
* From: Herald Sun
* September 17, 2010 10:00PM
NO so long ago, Richard Tambling was such a valuable asset at Richmond he was sent to Parliament House in Canberra to rub shoulders with the nation's powerbrokers.
Joined by key Tigers officials, Tambling whacked on a pair of slacks and a T-shirt and spoke from the heart about his tough upbringing in a community outside Darwin.
Tambling's story was so moving, by the time the club's delegation had left Canberra they had received $8.75 million in federal funding for an indigenous learning centre at Punt Rd. It played a huge part in underwriting a total development worth $20 milllion.
Now it seems Tambling won't be around to enjoy the fruits of the shiny new facility.
Tambling has two years of a contract to run at Tigerland, but he is now expendable - if the right trade deal comes along.
Two years ago, he was being lauded for his influence in Canberra by the president, Gary March. These days it seems both parties are happy to move on.
There is nothing nasty in it, for Richmond has been super-supportive of Tambling through a much-maligned career, but the scenario sums up modern football.
Andrew Walker, another high draft pick, is in a similar position at Carlton. Sometimes both parties might be just better to cut their losses and move on.
The Crows are hot for Walker and the suitors will come for Tambling, too.
The knockers out there may laugh, but Tambling should have enormous currency the moment trade time begins.
At a team playing in the premiership window, he has the skills to be a star.
Former teammate Nathan Brown has no doubt Tambling will be in hot demand.
"I reckon he'd be a very good player at a top-four side where he got the game on his terms and his team had the ball a lot," Brown said yesterday.
"At this stage, he is maybe a bit of a frontrunner. He will be better at a better side.
"He found it harder than most at Richmond to make his way, win his own ball and play consistent footy.
"He just needs to work harder on the mental side of the game."
Brown even went as far as saying the pacy Tambling could be an on-ball option in a powerful team.
"He was never on-ball enough. You could see at training, he was a very good stoppage player. Very clean. He could be a ruck rover," Brown said.
Brown says he would be ideal at St Kilda, who went for Andrew Lovett for some run-and-carry last year and lost out. A year later, Tambling could be that man.
Tambling is also an ideal trade option for the Western Bulldogs, who have become a good "inside" team in need of some more "outside" run.
With Jarrod Harbrow all but gone, the Dogs should look to Tambling as an immediate replacement.
Harbrow will surely be deemed worth an end-of-first-round pick if he goes to the Gold Coast. Is it worth using that to try and get Tambling? Other names such as Andrejs Everitt or Josh Hill might come up.
A straight swap of Bachar Houli for Tambling has already been mooted, but that is a win for Essendon. Tambling has shown his best is better than Houli's.
Tambling has played 108 games in six seasons. The foundations are there.
He will forever be remembered at Tigerland for his role in the new facility, but he has the ability to remembered for much more ... maybe even a premiership player elsewhere.

You can have your shock, Davey, I think i would ejaculate.
Why don't your comments seem silly now? Because Mark Stevens said that Tambo should have enormous currency come trade week? ???
I agree, look for the highest bidder and try to get something good for him.If we snag a good player and a 1st round pick for him then I will be in shock.

we used the picks from the ottens trade on Danny Meyer and Adam Patterson ???
Is the author an Essendon fan maybe? Putting Monfries in with the true 'A'-graders of the '04 draft and then promoting a Tambling for Houli swap would certainly point to a red and black bias.
Tambling had a medical at the Whitten Oval last friday.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19100113&postcount=417
look i understand people wanting to keep him just in case he turns it on....me i'm prepared to let him go..he might and does have the skill but to my amateur eyes he certainly lacks the inner strength
Tambling + 2nd rounder for dangerfield
heppell, dangerfeld, Martin, cotchin, deledio, Foley, Morton etc. has upside
Richmond is also interested in line-breaking midfielder Sherman and could have a draft pick to spare if talks between Adelaide and onballer Richard Tambling progress.
Tambling met with Crows officials in Adelaide earlier this week, according to reports in the Advertiser.
The former No.4 draft pick has two years to run on his contract at Punt Road, but it’s believed the Tigers are open to the idea of trading him.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/103529/default.aspx
The AFL site seems to be saying the Crows may give us their 2nd rounder for Tambling and we pass that on to Brisbane for Sherman?
Richmond is also interested in line-breaking midfielder Sherman and could have a draft pick to spare if talks between Adelaide and onballer Richard Tambling progress.

Tiger eyed by Crows
Herald Sun
01-October-2010
RICHARD Tambling has sparked interest at several clubs, with Adelaide making the early running before trade week kicks off on Tuesday. It is understood Tambling, an unfulfilled talent at Richmond, was in Adelaide early this week visiting the Crows....
Tambling + 2nd rounder for dangerfield
heppell, dangerfeld, Martin, cotchin, deledio, Foley, Morton etc. has upside
I'm sure the crows will jumping at that deal, Stephen trigg will be pinching himself
According to Greg Denham, Tambling's manager (which would be Ricky Nixon) has been running around for the past week trying find Richie a new club. Reckons the deal is we'll get the Crows compensation pick that they got for Bock in return for Richie.I would be happy with that.

If the deal is done we can use the pick now or wait a couple of years and use it then when the pick will be higherAccording to Greg Denham, Tambling's manager (which would be Ricky Nixon) has been running around for the past week trying find Richie a new club. Reckons the deal is we'll get the Crows compensation pick that they got for Bock in return for Richie.I would be happy with that.
What pick is that?
Unless we go up the ladder which means it will be around the same markIf the deal is done we can use the pick now or wait a couple of years and use it then when the pick will be higherAccording to Greg Denham, Tambling's manager (which would be Ricky Nixon) has been running around for the past week trying find Richie a new club. Reckons the deal is we'll get the Crows compensation pick that they got for Bock in return for Richie.I would be happy with that.
What pick is that?
If we dont get a pick under 15 for Tambling it will be highway robbery and why we would be on trading it to get Sherman is beyond me.
He wants out, they want him out, he wants to come to us, 2nd round pick only.
Tambling is certainly worth more than Jacobs who by all accounts is going to the Crows for pick 14 ?? If we only get pick 26 then they would want to be putting a player up as well or find a player for Carlton.
Tambling is on par with Brennan who is going to the Suns for pick 9.
Grigg is also out of contract and although I belive he is a spud should only be taken for a 4th rounder or in PSD.
If we could pick up picks 6 & 14 & Sherman for Tambling and Thursfield & pick 29 that would be good.
True and I can't imagine too many coaches playing career roulette and holding onto the pick.Unless we go up the ladder which means it will be around the same markIf the deal is done we can use the pick now or wait a couple of years and use it then when the pick will be higherAccording to Greg Denham, Tambling's manager (which would be Ricky Nixon) has been running around for the past week trying find Richie a new club.

I wouldn't. That's around pick 30. Tambling is contracted for 2 years. We can play hardball. Pick in the teens or nothing.According to Greg Denham, Tambling's manager (which would be Ricky Nixon) has been running around for the past week trying find Richie a new club. Reckons the deal is we'll get the Crows compensation pick that they got for Bock in return for Richie.
I'd accept that, if true.
Their first rounder will be great. They would have something between pick 16-20.
We have put 100+ games and 6 odd years into tambling. Why trade him for pick 30 or Sherman? When chances are his best football will be in the future...
Would only trade him for top 10 / 15 pick.
Former pick #4 shown he can have more output thaN buddy. No point trading him under value.
I think we need to get as many top 20/40 picks we can this draft but thursfield, mcgaune, Polo,
Tambling, foley, rance etc. Should be keep unless the deal is very good.
If that's all that we're offered, we can just say no. He's contracted for 2 years.Their first rounder will be great. They would have something between pick 16-20.
You'd think so considering he went at 4 when he was drafted but more likely a second round pick I'd imagine.
here well said some one who values nd picks. the real interesting one is the number of talls taken in the second and third rnds that end up decent.We have put 100+ games and 6 odd years into tambling. Why trade him for pick 30 or Sherman? When chances are his best football will be in the future...

a lot of ppl underestimate how valuable picks in the 20's and early 30's are. This is where a lot of gems are found - usually players who are genuine more than likely prospects but deemed to have less 'upside' whether it be lack of pace, athleticism or height, they are usually more footballers than athlete.
In the last few years alone these players have been drafted 20-35: beams(29), hannebery(30), J.Roughead(31), Shiels(34), Astbury(35), Pears(23), Otten(27) as well as a fair few others who will go on and join these guys as very good footballers. I would take any one of those mentioned well before Tambling.
:lol @ people bagging players and telling all and sundry what duds they are, yet expect other clubs to give up top draft picks for them.
Nothing wrong with reaching for the sky Daniel, just don't expect to touch it.
If push comes to shove you take what their worth. Clubs bending over at the trade table happens very rarely, besides Richmond that is. :outtahere
...... however considering if he does go I won't have to hear any more of the Repititive RT bashing threads I will take anything under 35

sorry i dont agree with the take what their worth comment, cause if thats the case than any pick under 40 we should accept for Tambling.
If clubs are getting 9 for Brennan etc etc then we should be aiming for a first rounder, no more or no less. If not then no deal.
Clubs like Stkilda who possibly have 1 more year left will come for someone like Tambling and we should be asking for the best.
The Club SAID they will not give him up unloess its with good ValueNothing wrong with reaching for the sky Daniel, just don't expect to touch it.

tambling for pick 40 in a average draft' that GC hve 9 of top 15 picks and already taken out a % of the talent?
Still reckon we should get a pick under 15, but hey thats my opinion.

In a compromised draft WAT I cannot see clubs with picks inside the top 15-20 giving them up
I reckon if you can get someone to get a late first rounder (say 21 onwards) then you'd seriously have to look at it. Unless of your the Bubmling Bombers who I do think would give up their first round pick for Tambling ;D

Former pick #4 shown he can have more output thaN buddy.
The latest rumour doing the rounds today is Tambling to West Coast in a swap for Matt Priddis.

SEN: Tambling wants out of Punt Road, hasn't nominated a club, but would prefer to stay in Melbourne.

Lets hope a top 20 draft pick comes our way
I hope the rumour is true. :thumbsupStraight from the horse's mouth. SEN just played a clip with Richie saying he's made his mind up and he wants a fresh start.
Tambling to either Hawthorn or St Kilda I have heard for a first rounder. I hope the rumour is true. :thumbsup

plus Thursfield for Tarrant, Rance for Grigg and a 2nd rounder for Houli.
That should warm things up in here just nicely!! ;D
"I thought it was terrible what he was put through last year, when he was booed at the MCG by the Richmond crowd because he was taken ahead of [Lance] Franklin," he said.
Exactly wayne. He was staying just off the contest in no man's land. Neither getting involved in the play nor an option once the ball got free.
"I thought it was terrible what he was put through last year, when he was booed at the MCG by the Richmond crowd because he was taken ahead of [Lance] Franklin," he said.
He was booed because he played like crap, and he'll be booed again at his new side if he plays rubbish football.
I think, unfortunately, RFC supporters pretty much take the cake for booing their own players, can't recall other sides doing it. Made me feel ashamed actually, pretty embarrassing.

I was amazed he went back to finish his career with them.

"You wouldn't give up pick in the top 50 for Richard Tambling surely!"
::)
I've just thinking a bit more about Geelong trading for Tambling. If we were to trade for one of Geelong's compo picks which technically is meant to be a first round pick but this year is currently pick 27 then we could keep hold of it until the 2012 draft and have two first round (top 10 say) picks depending on where we finish that year.They're talking about their 1st round pick, not the compo picks as they are most likely going to hold on to those
more to with R.Nixons mismanagement of RT's last contract. :thumbsup
Ta Infamy. Yeah pick 23 was the one mentioned today but I was just putting out there a wish(ful thinking) list. It would be a bonus to be on the cusp of finals going into 2013 when our list is maturing and be able to pick up another two top 10 kids.I've just thinking a bit more about Geelong trading for Tambling.

well i was wrong
what a weak ---- with a weak mind and no balls

Ricky Nixon is a deceitful little b.
Ricky isn't doing bling any favours. If he stays at the RFC then he could find the environment even more hostile.
Looks unlikely he'll stay, lucky for bling.
this is a great point you raise
Ricky is making it near impossible for Tambling to stay if a deal doesn't get done.... make it a mess and we have to trade at perhaps lesser value.... a standard Ricky ploy
Stay strong RFC :thumbsup

:rollin :rollin
Funny stuff X - I appreciate your fuming especailly when you like me has been a big supporter of Bling but it is funny :thumbsup
Here's why:
Ricky Nixon makes comments to the media and you (and so many others BTW) have naturally assumed it's what Richie thinks or what he has said
Considering there is not one direct quote from Tambling about being booed or Buddy and the bloke is currently in Sri Lanka I reckon it is a fair assumption to think these are Ricky's views only
I mean seriously has anyone ever considered that like what the RFC tried to do with Tucky last year that it is actually the Club that has intigated this and said to Tambling "we are going to put you up for trade" and after consideration has so said OK
I've changed the title of the thread as the trade is all but confirmed.
Out: Tambling
In: Adelaide's compensation pick
Wallace added that Tambling never became the player they (Richmond) hoped he would. He was always a player on the edge of the 22 at Richmond.
i think its not a good or fair deal. tambling for all his history is still a 23 yo 100 game player for a kid who we will get for 26 or maybe Sherman. I apologise for those who disagree but its a poor trade IMHO.
Do we know what the compo pick will be?It depends on how many clubs with GC compo picks use them in this draft.

I apologise for those who disagree but its a poor trade IMHO.What happens when you sell low Ramps. Given Richie's 2010 then we got as high a price as we could get IMO. If we traded him last year when his form was praised then we may have got something significantly better (especially from Voss lol) but we didn't so it's what it is.
if i were a guessing man, i would think RN is close to the mark. Why else would he make his client look like the fool that he looks by bringing up that Buddy stuff. Absolutely convinced it has come from RT
Hardwick comes from Hawthorn's recruiting system and they pretty much in his time there traded or delisted any player who hadn't cemented their spot in the best 22 by their 5th season at the Club. Richie has been at Richmond for 6 years and despite being a regular in the side he isn't what you would call a certainty or a consistent footballer. Being harsh he is an expendable player on our list. Only Jack, Lids, Cotch and Martin are untouchable. Sure Blingers could go to the Crows and do well but we were in a similar situation with Schulz in 2007 when Port offered pick 28 and we (well Greg Miller) said no. We held onto Schulz for two more years and just got more of same underperformance and then traded him on for less anyway. If Richie like Sarge does better at his new club and we do well out of the deal then it's a win-win and we move on. Up to Francis Jackson and the recruiters to find a good young footballer at pick 27-30 or whatever it will be that will improve us as a team.
I certainly wouldn't want Rodan back. Don't know why the Journo's are making him out as some sort of future brownlow contender cause he ain't all that.
Its not him that needs a shrink, its the nutters attacking him and McMahon and whoever the next target is, they need a shrink. It is waaay beyond constructive criticism, it becomes vitriolic, irrational hatred...for a bloke wearing our jumper and playing for our club with no regard at all to how he or his family feels about the rancid bile they pour on them. effing crazy! That is the very definition.
Not too bad to gain two picks although the 3rd rounder is more like a 4th rounder in a normal draft. Currently those picks would be 30 and 57 if all clubs use their compo picks.
I'm guessing the 3rd rounder wil be used to trade for one of either Grigg or Houli. I'd still rather use it on a kid. As clubs finalise their playing lists the late picks come in as not all clubs want/can use their late picks.
Agree. I'd rather we didn't waste it on Houli to be honest. Knowing FJ's recent strike rate with mid-range picks I'd rather we keep 'em.Exactly. There's always diamonds in the rough late in all drafts. Club's that put their faith and resources into the draft usually succeed in the long run.
"I thought it was terrible what he was put through last year, when he was booed at the MCG by the Richmond crowd because he was taken ahead of Franklin," Tambling's manager Ricky Nixon told the AFL's trade week radio program.Moving to a new club is really going to stop Richmond supporters booing Tambling eh Ricky :stupid. He'll be booed more than ever now.
Trade done
Tambling gone for two picks - Adelaide compo pick and their 3rd rounder
In two years it would still only be worth pick 20
I think we should use it now or we'll be two years behind in building on a kid.
Take that no worries - And F Richie he can go to hell, no best wishes from me.
He wanted out and is no longer a Tiger - No bad wishes, just no good one's. Just another player
Shame actually.
People who have mentored and coached him tell all different stories.
Who was his mentor?
Remind those who are numerically dyslexic?Who was his mentor?
I think an old favorite of WP,s LOL ;)
No 13
What pick to we get from crows compo pick ?
What pick to we get from crows compo pick ?
could be anywhere around the high 20's to early 30's depending on how many clubs use compensation picks this draft... either way, having 2 picks around that 30 mark plus 2 more around the 50 mark as well as another for thursfield somewhere inbetween is pretty good for us
"apparently"" they used to have a regular friday nite chat on the phone.
He does look better this way.Well the Adelaide official said, "We felt we can cover the loss of Bock but we felt we needed to add to our midfield to replace what we've lost. Those guys were champions so he (Tambling) will never be as good as them."
I hate the crows.
But now I will have to feel a little sorry for them.
I bet he will be thinking he might be the next Mcloed.
But that will never happen.
What Pick is the first round pick going to be aroun?Do you mean the end of first round compensation pick we gained from Adelaide, torch? If so it'll be around the pick 27-32 mark depending on how many clubs with compo picks themselves use them in this draft.
20-30?

If we hold onto the compo pick until 2012 then it will be a pick around 19-20 but using it this year puts it in the 29-36 range so the supporters are half-right.What Pick is the first round pick going to be aroun?Do you mean the end of first round compensation pick we gained from Adelaide, torch?

Thank you MT, I actually thought one pick might not of been enough. Obviously because of the compremised draft, that later pick will or would of been in the late 20's because of the other clubs?
However ... we will use it, but should we? It is really like a 2nd Round Pick, so the 3rd Round Pick with the Tambling deal is great!
Only one pick would of been ... ohhhhh that late? Because speaking to a lot of Richmond supporters, they think it is between 15-25!

Cornes should look at his own club and remember this classic audio from 5AA after the Crows were knocked out of the finals a few years ago.

I think Blinga's worst problem was that he thought too much! He obviously overanalysed his own performance and placed far too much pressure on himself as a result. Some of the best footballers are those who can barely string two words together because they don't have any fear of failure because they don't think that far ahead.
Bling seems like a terrific bloke to me who just struggled with the pressure of his selection in the draft and the directionless tactics of our previous coach. Hope he goes well at Adelaide and hope the fans give him a go.

Ooh please Tambling was a pussy and the weakest player to wear the Yellow and Black in the last 20 years.
Cant believe some of you fools defended him on this site. We need people like Hodgy in our team. A guy who was bagged for being taken ahead of Judd but never spoke about it just put his head down and worked his a-rse off.
Tambling just wanted people to feel sorry for him so insetad of working hard at the problem he chose to run away.
Good riddons
This sounds like the bad tradesman blaming his tools for the bad job.Yep , I agree. Had a gutful of his crap excuses. Being played out of position , booed by supporters , injuries , poorly coached , Buddy comparisons etc blah blah
He really has to get his haed out og his Ar**. And admit he just wasn't good enough.
I, for one are glad he has gone, and this give me more reason's to hate the Crows.
Hope both fail badly next year.

Get the feeling Tambo doesn't have much love for the old Tigers.
Richie won't get to play a freer gamestyle either at the Crow-bots with Craig's rigid gameplan.
One exciting moment doesn't make a career unfortunately. Even JON had one of those moments in the 2006 dreamtime game where he sprinted 50m with the ball then had a long running shot kicking the winning point. Good footballers do the bread and butter basics in footy consistently as well as they do the highlight reel stuff. Any deficiencies in the basics get exposed big time at AFL level. Sadly for us, Blingers just didn't become the footballer we hoped he would as a top 5 draft pick.Richie won't get to play a freer gamestyle either at the Crow-bots with Craig's rigid gameplan.
and if the crows continue playing garbage football, I can see him being their supporters "Jordy". It might actually finish him as a player. A shame because as ramps said, his 1st game in pre season was played with a feel for the game that was exhilarating to watch.
What happened Ritchie?
Well said.Get the feeling Tambo doesn't have much love for the old Tigers.
Yeah, well it's a two-way street. Good riddance.
And to the bloke who interviewed him saying that Richmond fans dont deserve a side to follow i say "GO GET F****D" what a toss! tell him to sit through 30 years of crap performances then come back an comment!
Its called passion and frustration!
I reckon he's got one thing right. It's all between the ears with Tambo.
I don't like the Crows but I really hope Richie makes you all eat your words.
I have no words to eat yet, when he's delisted from Adelaide for playing poorly then I'll happily accept I was wrongI don't like the Crows but I really hope Richie makes you all eat your words.
Speaking of ppl eating their words.... what have the likes of u and x been doing over the past 6 years with regards to richie? :whistle

In the past under Dimma things are different. No pansies accumulating possessions and avoiding physical contests and most of all no excuses.Wasn't bad in the first game. Hit the contest hard

Quite a few blokes don't go hard. We have had our fair share of blokes who didnt as well :-\
Looked very short of a gallop but then he did last year too. :P
reminded of his time with us, just zero impact
Tim Lane on 3aw today:
"When Tambling was at Richmond, for years we were told they should have selected Franklin over Tambling yet Tambling playing for Adelaide had a great game last night while Buddy struggled to have any influence."
You can't be logic such as that Tim ::).

With Andy Maher, Hughesy and Walls at Ch 10 it's like a Carlton supporters club when a Carlton game is on :chuck.Tim Lane on 3aw today:

Buddy is a centurion goalkicker in a premiership year with All Australian honours.
Tambling was on the same high last night as he was in that pre season game against the Pies in 2005.
If Buddy's 2.6 was 6.2 then what would you be saying Tim?
I love how media people just dribble crap that is less than half of any truth or fact.
In the past I always found his commentary unbiased methodical and factual rather than sensasionalist
but there have been a few instances since he has gone to Channel 10 that he has let those standards slip.
Maybe its becoming a case of once a Carlton maggot always a Carlton maggot.
How about Walls tonight during the coverage saying that Tambling had a hard time at Richmond because everyone said we should've picked Pavlich instead :wallywink :rollin.
Poor blingers had a shocker tonight as well and with Krak dropped by the Pies at least we won't have to hear from the media for a while garbage like how Richmond has let go players who have done better at other clubs ::) :sleep.

he made a couple of errors but he did some very good things and beat eddie betts
betts only kicked one goal iirc in the first minute, he did his job as a defender
True but he had 2 brain fades in a minute late in the final qtr which hurt the crows in a tight game. His 7th year of afl and mistakes stand out.

many players had brain fades in the last quarter on both teams, fatigue really set in and was evident, im not denying tambling made some dumb mistakes, but he played on betts and kept him to one goal, so you have to tip ur hat for that, we have never had a small defender hold betts or any small fwd for that matter

I think we have had a Win with this trade.Should be a win but can't tell until what he was traded for is used.
So where is old mate at....will he ever get over his constant injuries?? Has he fit in at the Crows?? Do we really expect his demons (Franklin) to go away??
WILL HE MAKE IT???? I don't think so. :-\

He was suspended. So didn't play on the weekend against demons. I think they'll bare with him with no complaint for this season. He should improve but will he improve enough to keep the adelaide fans happy is the main question.
Polo might get a game this week
pfffthahahahahahahahaha :lol
serious
yeah, chooka might surprise a few
hopefully gerard healy gets a whiff of his produce and gives us a back bite for letting him go
;D
on another subject, it is sad to see Owl's old posts in here. Reminds me of when we were such good buddies :(
He was woeful
The bloke can't play
Heart muscle I believe.
One of our better trades in memory.
Be pretty tragic really if he doesn't make it..
Be pretty tragic really if he doesn't make it..
Yeah devastating. ;D
Still don't think he will make it and its very unfortunate, the Buddy factor has ruined his career, hopefully he will be able move on in his life.
We abosultely buggered the Crows with this trade and it makes me smile! ;D
Feel sorry for Tambo, he just doesnt have 'it' - whatever that may be.
Would like to see if Jackstar can somehow twist this trade into a negative. What'd ya reckon big fella?
I actually agree that Tambling could play the Leon Davis role perfectly, it makes a lot of sense.
The Grand Final Leon Davis, that is.
Whats going on with Tambling these days folks, I am too far removed to know, is he injured, out of form...still :lol, whats the story please??WAT I thought he was over there with you! ;D
Cheers

No mate all wrong, I'm just a supporter. You know what that is don't you?
Edwards has some skills that I like in a player. Some skills that many other players in our side lack.
I'm honestly not surprised one iota that Hardwick perseveres with him.
Or is he related too?
Perseveres......has no one else you mean...
Perseveres......has no one else you mean...
BS there have been a heap of other options but Shane keeps getting picked when many others have fallen by the wayside. Funny that.
All I think Edwards needs to do is find more of the ball. That's the most valid criticism of him. He's aware of that and is working hard to get more of the pill.
Poor little Dicky RamblingI feel sorry for him. RFC ruined his career, he lost all confidence and has never reached the potential he showed as a junior.
Crap remains crap just looks different but the smell is a giveawayYou forgot to mention Campbell.
Cotchin Richo and knights were still champions surrounded by rabble
Da fuq is wrong with you people? Tampon is useless, which is why we got rid of him in the first place and why Adelaide are about to do the same. We should just be thankful that we got a compensation pick for him and never mention his name again.

For free as a rookie? Good depth.
ADELAIDE finally has had a victory in the Kurt Tippett saga.
The AFL is allowing the Crows to push teenage midfielder Brad Crouch on Adelaide's 2012 player list as a "traded player" rather than demand the club free up a draft pick for him.
The significance of this decision today is the Crows can avert - for now - needing to delist a contracted player on Wednesday to find the compulsory three draft picks Adelaide must have available at the AFL national draft on November 22.
Adelaide's list-management committee today gained advice from the AFL that it has two draft picks open - and one can be used to draft small forward Ian Callinan from the rookie list.
The obligatory third draft pick should emerge on November 15 when Tippett can delist himself - provided the AFL does not deregister him before this date and force him to stay on Adelaide's list as a banned player.

Maybe his name holds too many negative connotations for me to think objectively about him, but I just don't rate him as a player and I think it would be a backward step by the club. He isnt a mid-fielder's coight and we have better options across the half-back line. There are better players in state leagues.
just no.
