NT youngster expected to go early in draft

Posted Nov 04, 2004 - 12:31 PM

Richmond recruiting manager Greg Beck says Darwin's Richard Tambling will play AFL football next year - but not necessarily with the Tigers.

The Northern Territory News reports Tambling, 18, is high on the list of several AFL clubs attending this month's national draft.

This season's wooden spooners Richmond has five selections in the top 20 at the November 20 draft, including the coveted No. 1 pick.

And with Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs sharing the first six picks with the Tigers, Tambling's future with one of those clubs seems assured.

Beck has joined the list of Tambling admirers, saying the Southern Districts utility is a readymade AFL player.

"We certainly think the boy can really play, there's no doubt about that," Beck said.

"We've watched him very closely at the under-16 and U18 nationals and think he's got a terrific future in the game.

"Richard's going to go in the top four or five picks, there's no doubt about that.

"We're doing our homework and finding out all the information we can about the boys that will be in that area.

"Hopefully we'll get a mix of talls and running players like Richard, we've got five picks in the top 20 so we'll be looking at different types of players."

Title: A few notes on Tambling (Turbo)
Post by: Harry on November 25, 2004, 11:03:18 AM
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.

Managed to see the tape of the U18 game NT v Tas.  After being BOG in the prior game (v QLD I think) he had a relatively quiet game.  Was heavily tagged and played mainly in the forward line.  He got about 10-15 stats and kicked 3 goals, however everything he did was exciting.  He definately has the X factor.

Speed.  He's got it.  He has Judd type speed.  Not only has he got leg speed but his overall body movement (arms, head, torso etc.) is fast.  He flashes through a pack and your not quite sure who it was.  Like a flash of lightning.  It appears he's playing in fast forward while everyone else is at normal speed.  Remember those speedy Gonzalez cartoons when speedy runs around the cat tying him in knots while having enough time to make a sandwhich.

He has extreme urgency.  Tambling and Bowden - Chalk and cheese.  Loves to play on.  Will play on when he shouldn't, and always hits the ground running after a mark or handball receive.  Sometimes too urgent and needs to learn to settle down at times and compose himself.

Get used to.  Get used to him running around the man on the mark and playing on during a set shot.  Even if he doesn't fully sell the dummy, he has pace to make up for it.  We'll see alot of this.  Also expect him to burst many packs, virtually running straight through it.

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.

Kicking.  His style looks unusual.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it until I pressed the pause and slow motion buttons.  He tends to hold the ball down low when guiding it to his foot.  But the outcome is impressive.  Can kick it low and hard and usually finds a target.  Very confident kick and can kick well while at pace.  However, he tends to rush his kicks and spray them.  This isn't a query over his skill or technique but more towards his composure as he doesn't take the time to look where he's kicking.

Physique - He is ready to go at round 1.  He tackles like a man possessed and is very muscular for his weight.  No problems about his size.  He is more ready than Krakour, Roach, Raines, Hyde physical wise.

He likes the rough and tough stuff more than Davey and has more urgency than Wells.

Mark - Is actually a nice mark with a very good leap.  Will be very hard to amtch up on in the forward line with his pace and leap.

Queries. 

My main query at this stage is his composure as he's always goes at 100 miles an hour.  He tends to rush everything.  He has amazing pace and electricity and would give judd a run for his money in this regard.  However like Judd he needs to harness this and learn when to burst and when to slow down and compose himself.  He has Judd like skills aswell.  He needs to learn that there is more than one level of pace to the game, that there are times when he has to slow down, maybe stop, change direction, do a side step etc.  His kicking skills are also affected by this as he at times rushes the ball onto his boot and doesn't look.  Like a young stuart maxfield, when he has time he can find a target 99% of the time.  But when rushed (mind you mainly due to his own extreme urgency and not due to the opponent getting near him) he will spray the kick or not look where he's kicking it.  Reminds me of Maxfield quite alot in this regard.

Another query I have is his ball getting ability.  But this again is due to his urent thrashing ways.  In a pack situation he tends to go at the ball too quickly for his own good.  Where he should keep his head over the ball, slow down and hold his ground to ensure he gets clean hands onto it, he tends to go at it too fast and as a result will fumble or the ball will ricochet of his hand or foot.  Needs to learn to slow down in these situations.  He has good clean hands below his knees, however even Greg Williams would struggle to pick up the ball cleanly at that speed. 

Also his body positioning in pack situations could improve as he sems to be focussing on where the ball is instead of where it will go.  He's like a cat chasing a mouse.  He will need to learn to read the play a bit better.

Turbo will definately excite and get ready for the highlight packages.  If Wallace can harness his eagerness then will have a great player.

Fantastic write-up Harry  :bow  :cheers. Can't wait to see him live based on that report.

A knowledgable scribe around these parts  ;) rates him better than Deledio at this stage. The good thing about having so many early picks is the focus isn't on only one of them all the time.

Is Tambling dual-sided Harry? If he is he'll destroy most opponents with his pace alone when changing direction.

Turbo's a top nickname :thumbsup

We couldnt match the offer the swans made for Maxfield.

I reckon that Tambling was the only player in the draft that could have burnt us by not taking them at 1 and missing out all together. If Hawthorn had taken him, it could have really backfired on us depending on the way Deledio turns out.

LMAO@ Tambling getting out a piece of cardboard and doing some breakdance on it!!!!!

I've heard a couple of versions HT. At the time I remember him saying something like he felt there were better opportunties for plumbers in Sydney than Melbourne...che! ???.

A few months back during the season he did an interview on the radio (think it was on KB's show). Maxfield said he didn't feel he was getting the opportunity at Richmond as he was played on and off the bench as a impact player under Northey. He said Sydney with Eade as first year coach offered him the chance to play more on the ball.

$$$ would have played a big part as at that time Sydney were in the habit of saving their extra grant from the AFL they were getting and on top of that they received concession picks as well. So every 2 years in the mid 90's they would have heaps of dough to throw at out-of-contract players. They apparently signed up both Maxfield and Naish but we complained as the rules only allowed them to target one out-of-contract player per club. So they kept Maxfield and we got Naish back  :(. In return for losing Maxfield we got a compensatory pick which we used to pick up Gas from them. So in effect it became a straight swap of Gas for Maxfield.

The Maxfield family were always mad Richmond. They were quite upset that the club did not pursue David Grenvold for breaking Stuart's jaw behind the play the first time we played Essendon in '95.
Hasn't been mentioned as a reason for leaving but I've always suspected it gave the decision impetus
The family are now Swans supporters.

Tambling looks extremely happy to be at Richmond. That's gotta be good.

Tambling timing unclear
9:57:05 AM Wed 6 April, 2005

Sportal for afl.com.au

Richard Tambling, one of Richmond's prize teenage draft picks, has been administered injections for a back injury that has further stalled his already interrupted pre-season and delayed his senior debut.

Though the Tigers are confident the 18-year-old midfielder will be fit to play a match this weekend - Richmond take on the Western Bulldogs on Sunday and VFL side Coburg play on Saturday - Tambling's condition is yet to be fully assessed.

The recent back injury is one of a sequence of ailments experienced by the No.4 pick of last year's NAB AFL Draft since he arrived at Punt Road.

"He hurt a hamstring out at Sandringham five weeks ago and came back from that," Tigers coach Terry Wallace said on Tuesday.

"He had two weeks interrupted preparation for that and then hurt his toe in a pre-season game against Brisbane."

"He's been having a few problems with a back and needed to have a couple of injections last week….It was just stiffening up on him and he was struggling with it a little bit."

Brett Deledio, the top pick of the draft, is the only first year Tigers player who has made his senior debut this year.

Tambling was expected to join his teammates in full training on Wednesday morning, and Wallace will assess his sharpness before deciding whether to pick him to debut against the Bulldogs or play in the VFL.

"It’s just whether we think it's right or fair to play him straight up like that," he said.

"We'll expect he'll train fully this week and play on the weekend … we think we've overcome the problems he's been suffering with, probably for two or three weeks now."

"At his stage because we haven't seen him out on the track and we haven't seen him training, we haven't seen at what levels he's at. What you're looking for with those sort of things is how's his touch."

Wallace said the lay-off might even be of benefit to Tambling.

"For a boy coming from Darwin who hasn't been used to the hectic workload of what is an AFL pre-season, it might actually even just freshen him up and give him a fresher approach."

"I think a young player like that, sometimes a break actually freshens them up."

Title: Tambling finds a Tiger brother

Tambling finds a Tiger brother
08 July 2005   
Herald Sun
Michael Stevens

WHEN Richard Tambling was drafted to Richmond last year, Joel Bowden made a point of welcoming him to Punt Rd.
 
Having lived in Alice Springs as a youngster, the Tigers deputy vice-captain could appreciate the immense upheaval to Tambling's life after he moved to Melbourne.

But Bowden was not prepared for the reception he received from the shy young Aborigine.

"I went over to say, `Congratulations, Richard, well done and it's fantastic that you're at Richmond because we all thought you were going somewhere else'," Bowden said yesterday.

"And he said, `Thanks a lot, Patrick, that's really nice of you'. And I said, 'I'm Joel, Patrick plays at the Bulldogs'.

"He was under a lot of stress that day, the excitement of being drafted. He obviously heard that Patrick and I were playing footy down here and followed it a little bit because we're (Northern) Territory boys."

Bowden's father Michael and older brother Sean and his Aboriginal wife Denise live in Darwin, but were in Melbourne yesterday for the Tigers' father-son day, and tomorrow's match against Essendon at the MCG.

The game has been promoted as `Dreamtime at the G' because of all the Aboriginal players on both sides who are taking part.

Bowden said it was important not to pigeon-hole players and to treat them on their merits, regardless of their background.

"Each individual is different," Bowden said.

"I'm different to Andrew Krakouer, just as I'm different to Brett Deledio. Brett's had to leave his family and start afresh, as has Andrew, but I guess the big hurdle to overcome is the cultural barriers that are there.

"Even though someone may be Aboriginal, they may feel less sensitive to some issues than another person who's Aboriginal.

"You just have to take every person as a different individual and don't try to pigeon-hole them."

The 2004 Richmond club champion says the Tigers are well placed to feature in the finals after ending their four-game losing streak against Sydney last week.

"We're going a lot better than a lot of Richmond supporters would have thought this year and I think that's credit to Terry (coach Terry Wallace) and the work he's done with the team," Bowden said.

Starting to find his feet at this level and become more involved. Sheesh he's quick off the mark  :o. Too good for his direct opponent on a lead. Still needs to learn IMHO to not stay off the contest so much when he's in midfield. There were a couple of times when he could of put himself into a contest when the ball was at ground level and win the ball for us but stayed just off it. He's young so there's plenty of time. Overall coming along nicely  :).

Tambling feels the pinch
11:03:20 AM Thu 4 August, 2005
Paul Gough
Exclusive to afl.com.au

Exciting Richmond recruit Richard Tambling admits he is feeling the pressure after his injury-marred debut season at Punt Road.

The number four pick in last year's national draft has managed just eight senior games in 2005 after a series of injuries to firstly his toe before then suffering two hamstring injuries as well as injuring his back.

Tambling is well aware of the pressure that comes with being such a high draft pick these days and is aware his performances will be compared to that of teammate Brett Deledio as well as fellow top five picks Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead of Hawthorn and the Bulldogs' Ryan Griffen in much the same way as the stellar top three picks of the 2001 draft - Hawthorn's Luke Hodge, St Kilda's Luke Ball and West Coast's Chris Judd - have been constantly compared throughout their careers.

And right now Tambling knows that because of injury he has not made as big an impression as the other four with Deledio and Griffen amongst the favourites for the NAB Rising Star award in 2005 while Franklin has been nominated and Roughead is likely to be nominated by season's end.

"The other four boys have all had a good run in the amount of games they have played so that does put a bit of pressure on," Tambling said in an exclusive interview.

"And it makes you put a bit more pressure on yourself as well."

But the good news for the exciting goalsneak from the Northern Territory is he has strung together the past four games for the Tigers and produced his best performance of the season in last Sunday's loss to Carlton when he had 18 possessions and kicked two goals.

Now he just wants to repay the Tigers for the patience they have shown in him this season and show the fans why he was taken so high in last year's draft.

"I want to try and help us get into the finals," he said.

"And I want to show I deserve to be in the side for the rest of the season and to set myself up for next season."

Tambling said his injury problems began pre-season.

"I hurt my toe in a Wizard Regional Challenge match against Brisbane and that kept me out for two weeks and then I did a hammy at training," he said.

Those injuries meant he did not make his debut until round six and just as he was settling into the Richmond side - with a promising 13-possession, two-goal performance against Collingwood in round eight - than he suffered another injury, again against Brisbane the following week when he re-injured his hamstring.

"The most games I have played in a row this year is four and although it has been frustrating for me in my first year, it has made it more special when I have been able to play," he said.

But with his body in the best shape it has been all season, Tambling is looking forward to a big last month of the season as the Tigers begin the task of needing to win three of their last four games to reach the September action for only the third time in the past 23 years.

Title: Franklin chops at Tambling spirit

Had enough: Richard Tambling is sick of the unflattering camparisions with Hawthorn's Lance Franklin as critics throw up the theory that Richmond chose the wrong man at No.4 in the 2004 national draft.
 
Franklin chops at Tambling spirit
12 May 2007   Herald-Sun
Richard Earle

RICHARD Tambling is tired of the comparisons. So is his mentor Dean Rioli.

Critics are pedalling the theory Richmond chose the wrong cattle in taking Tambling at No. 4 at the 2004 national draft ahead of Hawthorn's Lance Franklin at No. 5.

The keen pig-shooter from the Northern Territory now feels like he's the hunted in the AFL jungle.

Hindsight is wonderful.

Lost in a haze is Brett Deledio's path to Punt Rd as the Tigers' No. 1 pick in 2004.

Hawthorn chose Jarryd Roughead at No. 2, while the Western Bulldogs cracked midfielder Ryan Griffen at No.3.

The irony isn't lost on 39-game forward Tambling, 20.

"It's starting to get to me a bit," said Tambling of unflattering comparisons in the wake of Franklin's 23-goal haul this year.

The free-spirit who once roamed Kakadu catching barramundi and magpie-geese senses he's cornered.

"You don't hear people talking about Jarryd Roughead or Ryan Griffen when there's comparison with Lance Franklin, it's always me and you do get sick of it."

"Maybe it's because we are both fast and indigenous, I'm not sure."

Former Essendon half-forward Dean Rioli rated Tambling the best pick of the 2004 draft and believes he could still prove the most successful.

"Richmond get pumped so the critics start second-guessing. They still got a good player in Richie," said Rioli, who retired after his 100th game last season.

"He was one of the best juniors I had ever seen. He will take longer to adapt, being smaller and thinner than the other guys.

"In the long run Lance Franklin might finish his career at 29, while Richie might fill out and go until he's 33. It's about the long haul."

You won't spot Tambling in Melbourne nightclubs closely followed by minders.

He is articulate and disciplined.

As Tambling, who became a father 18 months ago says, "there's been a bit going on" since arriving in Melbourne.

Tambling's debut 2005 season was wrecked by toe and hamstring injuries, while he'll miss today's game against Port Adelaide with a dislocated AC-joint sustained in Sunday's thrashing by Geelong,

"I didn't come into the competition with an AFL body," said Tambling, who expected to be drafted by the Hawks after spending 2004 Grand Final week at recruiting manager Gary Buckenara's house.

Richmond football manager Greg Miller has signalled the club will be patient with Tambling.

"We're very pleased with Richard Tambling," Miller said.

In return for the club's "faith," Tambling has vowed to take drastic action to become the midfielder the Tigers crave.

"I am learning how hard it is to become a midfielder, how much you have to run," he said.

"I watch guys like West Coast's Daniel Kerr and Ben Cousins and I have taken note. They run and run until they spew."

At the core of Tambling's inspiration is a love of all things Tigerland.

"The club has been great and told me they have faith in me. I just have to forget about all the hype," he said.

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.
(On the money, going by what 2 of my sons say after seeing Franklin out and about.)

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.

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

Found these stats on Lids on some dreamtime site. Not sure if it is legit but sounds about right.
             Contested Possessions
Rd 1.                8
Rd 2.                36
Rd 3.                32
Rd 4.                32
Rd 5.                36
Rd 6.                12
Rd 7.                12
Rd 8.                36
Rd 9.                28
Rd 10.              28
Rd 11.              40

Note - divide those by 4 for his actual contested possie count

It would result in his contested possie figure being 2, 9, 8, 8, 9, 3, 3, 9, 7, 7, 10

Take out the first couple of matches when he played in the backline, and he is kicking something like 1 goal and game. Good effort, but can see that being even better

EDIT: Oops, you meant Tambo didn't you :lol

He has a good record, 13 goals from 10 matches. Imagine if we were actually winning games

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.

http://210.50.4.102/rfc/

exactly what i have been saying and noticed , his leadership is far better than anyone in his draft year also, including lids

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

i dont recall anywhere in my above post me saying anything about anyone being soft, i just made mention about leadership . now , lids will be a very very elite player, but imo he wont be a gr8 captain, if he was going to be a gr8 captain he would display leadership now.
blingers on the other hand, may not have the reputation or exposure that lids has, but from games that i have seen(pretty much all of them) i have noticed that blingers displays more leadership on the feild, is much more vocal, seems to play more passionate, kicks teamlifting goals when required, can demolish a team in 1 quarter(wce game), blingers actually looks upset when things go wrong and becomes an excitement machine when things are going well.
lids just seems to show none of these qualities. lids is starting to use his pace to set up play and break lines ala judd, but so is blingers.

blingers may appear to be shy to most ppl, but he isnt, he talks well to the media and on tv, and is talks it up on the ground. lids on the other hand seems a lil too introverted at this stage to be considered a leader.

i say let lids be lids and not have the stress of being captain some day, we have other candidates to lead our club in future

Blingers is a goalkicking midfielder. Something we've lacked for a long time. That's what will make him even more deadly as he further matures and collects more of the footy.

Here's both Blingers and Lids' stats for the year:

We obviously going to be patient with Cass if we're giving him a new deal.

Tambling’s best yet to come
Tue 19 June, 2007
By Catherine Murphy
richmondfc.com.au

RICHARD Tambling, who has just signed a three-year extension on his current Richmond contract, says his best football is yet to come.

“You see glimpses of it now and then but I’m working towards my best and hopefully, very soon, I can get to that,” Tambling said.

“Now all I can do is show the Richmond Football Club that I can repay the faith they’ve put in me.”

Tigers coach Terry Wallace expressed delight at the contract extension, heaping praise on the 20-year-old.

“You don’t sign blokes on long-term contracts unless they’re absolutely solid people that you want to have around your footy club,” Wallace said.

“From the day that we first met Richard that’s exactly what he’s been.

“He sets an example with everything he does from the point of view of how he conducts himself on and off the field. We see him as one of those in a group of future leaders in our football club.”

Wallace says that more than anything, the club is happy with his development as a player.

“We’re really pleased with the way that he’s progressing. He’s added goals to his game this year.

“We’re looking for blokes who kick over 25 goals a season and he’s marching towards that total this year and he’s become an integral part of our side.

“I think he’s starting to develop a maturity about himself bodily wise. He’s always been that way as a person but as the body grows and develops, I think his role around the football club will grow and develop,” Wallace said.

Blingers also said he still needs to build up his body after playing against the bigger bodies in the midfield. The Geelong game must have been a eye-opener for him when he got crunched. A good sign that he knows his current limitations and wants to work hard to be a much better footballer.

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  ;))

Tambling signs AFL deal with Tigers
June 19, 2007 - 6:19PM
The Age

Exciting Richmond utility Richard Tambling seems forever destined to draw comparisons with fellow class of 2004 draftee Lance Franklin.

But Tigers coach Terry Wallace believes the constant second-guessing about whether Richmond made the right call when it chose Tambling with pick No.4 is unfair.

The club has announced Tambling has a signed a three-year contract extension, which will keep him at Punt Road until at least the end of 2010.

While Franklin, who the Hawks took with the No.5 selection, has lit it up this year and sits fourth in the race for the Coleman Medal with 34 goals, Wallace said the pair was only a small way in to what was a "long, long, long journey".

"I know it's everyone else's job to sit there and compare ... all we do is we look at our lot and we're pleased with the progression that they are making at this point in time," Wallace said.

"I still don't know, have we got an outcome on Travis Johnstone and Brad Ottens yet?" he added, referring to 1997 draft where Johnstone was taken No.1 and Ottens No.2.

Tambling has played all but one of Richmond's 11 matches this year for a career total of 43 games and said he remained unaffected by all the talk comparing him to the key-position Franklin.

"Try to put it behind you and try and focus on playing footy and that's all you can control, the way you perform and they way you go about it," Tambling said.

"You've seen glimpses of it (my best) now and then, but I'm working towards my best and hopefully very soon I can get to that."

Listed at 180cm and 80kg, the 20-year-old Tambling hoped to put on more weight and muscle so he can hold down a spot in the midfield.

"I've been given chances this year to play in the midfield and just the bigger body types. I've got to put on a bit of bulk still and try and push my way in there," Tambling said.

"I've just got to work on backing myself and using my teammates and understanding my role in the team."

Wallace said Tambling had improved each season and the club was "really pleased" with his progress.

"He's added goals to his game this year, you're looking for blokes who kick over 25 goals a season and he's sort of marching towards that total this year and he's become an integral part of our side," Wallace said.

"As the body grows and develops I think his role around the football club will grow and develop."

Wallace said Tambling was also fast becoming one of the Tigers' future leaders.

"You don't sign blokes on longer term contracts unless you reckon they are absolutely solid people that you want to have around your playing group," Wallace said.

"From the day that we first met Richard, that's exactly what he's been."

We lose by 53 points.
Pick 1 Deledio injured Not his fault however
Pick 4 Tmbling garbage today no spirit no commitment. The free ride is finally over after today.

Hawks Buddy 4 goals
Roughhead 5 goals
The final margin in the end.

I have a feeling Tambo hasn't been the same since he got crunched in the Geelong game and injured his shoulder which needs strapping. Unlike Polo the strapping is holding the shoulder in place. Looks like he's going through what a young Joel did when he did his shoulder.

As a mid he needs to bust his gut running to every contest.

If it means serving a long hard apprenticeship at the burgers ala Foley, then so be it.

If Richie had Foley's work ethic he would be a STAR, until then he is an unful-filled talent who will live in the shadow of buddy

I reckon in hindsight it would've been better for Blingers to have had a couple of games at Coburg to build up his confidence by getting heaps of the footy and kicking a few goals before being brought up again and thrown on the ball.

If so will do a lot of good for him and others to play against men under finals pressure, albeit at VFL level.

Post by: mightytiges on August 08, 2007, 02:43:40 PM
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:

Quote
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: {X} on August 12, 2007, 08:09:02 AM
he showed great signs

tambo is an inside onballer, he is very nimble with his sideway agility, but he just seems to be better when playing inside and in tight.  he released many contested tight balls for us and will get better with confidence

the problem is not blingers, the problem was terry not playing him inside cos if his size and tried to turn him into this outside runner.

dont worry about his size, keep him inside and you watch hime be a great help to foley, and did you all notice that when tambling played in the guts and in tight with foley, did you all see how much better tuck looked! tuck also played his best game for the yr , because he had foley as usual there, but blingers helping them trying to do the hard stuff to get the hard ball out!

tambling will be ok, next yr he will be a dominant midfielder

watch this space

Thought it was his best game doing the of hardball get/contested footy stuff. His work in the 3rd & 4th quarters was excellent

People keep bagging him but Tambo in the second half was very good tonight. Got touched up by Kerr early on but after half-time and especially once he kicked that ripper of a goal on his left foot you could see his confidence and belief lift and he gave us plenty of run and pace through the midfield and his skill level was right on.

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 leash and let the kid play the way he wants.

We'll stand firm: Tambling
2:26 PM Sun 19 August, 2007
By Matt Brown
for richmondfc.com.au

DESPITE their ordinary 2007 season, the Tigers have made a commitment that they won’t take a backward step against any AFL opponent, according to young on-baller Richard Tambling.

Tambling said the Tigers showed great character in their 31-point loss against the more fancied West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval on Saturday night.

The lightly-framed Tambling again showed glimpses of his enormous potential with 18 disposals and 10 marks. But his main contribution to the highlight reel was a sparkling on-the-run goal from 50 metres which put the Tigers within nine points of the Eagles late in the third quarter.

“I’ve been told ever since I got to the club that the coaches and the players love me taking people on,” Tambling said.

“So I just grabbed the ball, handed off to Shane Tuck and called for it back. And I saw a little gap and tried to run into it and I just let fly at it.”

While Tambling created his chance out of nothing, the Tigers’ failure to take full advantage of their chances in front of goal cost them dearly.

“We’re definitely disappointed with the loss. We had our chances in the last quarter and all through the game, but we just missed our opportunities in front of goal,” Tambling said.

“The boys worked pretty hard, the midfield ran pretty hard and stuck with them, but we just couldn’t nail our chances when we had them.”

Tambling says the Tigers’ ability to fight their way back into the game after conceding five unanswered goals in the second quarter was a sign of their growing maturity as a playing group.

“The last few weeks, all we’ve been focusing on is man-on-man footy - go out there and beat your man and that’s about it,” he said.

“I personally didn’t realise they’d kicked five straight, but we just wanted to play man-on-man footy and that got us back in the game and the boys fought it out well.

“And the impression that I get from the boys is we’re not going to have any blowout games, so we’re just going to try harder every week.

“We’re not going to take a step back from anyone.”

Tambling says the Tigers’ leadership group should take the credit for the team’s renewed spirit.

“It’s been a tough year, obviously, but the leadership group have fought their hearts out to try to keep the team together and they’ve done it pretty well. The group is feeling pretty good.

“We’ve just got to work harder and finish off the season and then come back for a big pre-season.”

Tambling said it was important for the Tigers to end the year strongly because they know they have the base to build on next year.

“Look at Nathan Foley. He’s just one of the younger boys who is playing good footy. Jake King is another,” he said.

“They’re coming through and playing really tough and hard footy, and that gives us something to work with so that next year the whole 22 players who run out on the field can contribute to more wins and a Tiger resurgence.”

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.

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.

without a doubt, hopefully it will come when he develops a bigger tank but too often he cruises behind play rather than bust his gut to chase someone, something Davey was superb at circa 06?

again with the tambling vs franklin comparisons  ::)

why do you assume that franklin would be as good at richmond as he is at Hawthorn

from what I have seen of him he is not a good overhead marker, relies on pin-point passes and blasting off his opponent with his freakish speed.

neither of which he would get at richmond re delivery from the midfielder for the most part has been shoddy, and up forward we'd only target Richo

And FWIW at the time of the draft Blingers was rated higher than Franklin by many

We're going to lose a frustrating inaccurate forward, why would we want someone who is a worse kick?

Franklin Schmanklin, the Hawks didn't outdraft anyone, they were lucky no-one else wanted him. There were 5 standouts and Buddy was the least rated of them. The Bulldogs tallest player is 5ft 3 and they overlooked him for a type of player they have plenty of.

He's developing nicely in a Richo-free zone.

I too wonder if he'd have been developed as well at Richmond?

Wallace seems to have little idea about KPFs.
I think Buddy would have struggled at Richmond with our midfield and him and Richo competing for the football.

Alas we'll never really know.

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 ).

you my friend have been suckered into the blingers is a dud bandwagon.

Hypothetically what if we picked Franklin, tambo would have definitely gone to hawthorn

With the way they are playing I wouldn't be suprised if Tambling was tearing it up and everyone calling him a star. Meanwhile at richmond franklin is struggling to get a kick because everyone is going to richo and when they go to buddy it is in a dank pocket and at his knees. and we'd be coping Tambling > Franklin threads  ::)

one thing i want to see from Tambo in 2008.

When he doesnt have the footy and his opponent has or an opposition player has it he doesnt chase hard enough. Hes going through the motions of the chase. He needs to chase hard. Atleast show us he can make up afew yards on an opponent who is running with the footy and bouncing it. Its not a good look, that he isnt making ground and the other bloke is running away from him...he needs to chase harder in the chase and he needs to run harder to get to more contests.

this might be a generalisation but a lot of indigenous players are real confidence players

Plough has praised Blingers in EOTT saying he's really matured as a player in the second half of this year and his training work and leadership around the Club has been excellent. That for all the garbage he cops he's starting to come out the other side as a more mature and better player.

In defence of Tambo, I can see steady improvement. A slow & Steady approach will make him a sustainable and highly consistent player of the future. I feel he is a late bloomer ala Michael Long and we need to keep the faith. We will have to change his nickname to "Pantene" It won't heppen overnight but it will heppen!  ;)

I'm with you tiga about Blingers :thumbsup. Richie has just got to forget about what pick he was drafted with and all that garbage and just focus on getting the best out of his game in the midfield. Towards the end of the year he went up another level IMO. Started getting under packs, win his own ball and becoming a scoring midfielder. Still like a number of our youngsters he needs to work harder especially when he doesn't have the ball. Use his speed to chase harder to put pressure on and nail tackles. At times opponents would get past him too easily. If Tambo improves that side of his game he'll become a absolute gun for us.

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.

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.

Roughead looks like he'll be a good player for the Hawks, but how silly would they look now if they'd opted for him at 3 and missed out on Franklin...because that's the real comparison - tall for tall.

And btw what club ever admits they made a wrong call in the draft...can't recall any club ever admitting a mistake.

It's because it's good value for supporters of other teams to get on our nerves. The comparisons are silly and the idea that anyone has a crystal ball to see how good a player will be before the draft is equally silly. It's been talked up so much that it has snowballed and become entrenched in everyones psyche.

Pointless discussion if you are a Richmond supporter, good stirring value if you are not. Absolutely no other value. Of course while there are Richmond supporters who will address this discussion and try to justify the Tambling choice, which does not need justification, the topic will never disappear.

There is no point to criticising Deledio because he is obviously a good player and any discussion would not have legs. Roughead? Why would Hawthorn supporters criticise their own choice? Anyway he's shown a bit also. Griffin? Nobody barracks for the Western Bulldogs so they are pretty inoffensive.

Everyone loves to hate us. There were quite a few comments floating around about Hawthorn stuffing it up when they didn't pick Tambling. We're just paying the price for some indiscreet comments after the 2004 draft. If you really think about it, the whole discussion is more about Hawthorn supporters insecurities than Richmond.

The way they are carrying on about Franklin you'd think Hawthorn's improvement this year had nothing to do with the fact that on the weekend the Hawks had 17 of his 22 teammates aged 23 years or older with 13 in their peak years (23-27 y.o.). A young side my backside  :whistle.

33: Crawford
30: Dixon, Smith, Vandenberg
27: Croad
26: Bateman
25: Campbell, Guerra, Osborne, Taylor
24: Brown, Mitchell
23: Boyle, Gilham, Hodge, Ladson, Sewell
21: Lewis, Young
20: Franklin, Roughead
19: Birchall

Only Williams who's 24 would be missing from their best 22 too so hardly an injury is a major bonus.

In bold are Clarkson's recruits.

A reminder for Hawk fans of the pre-draft concerns about Franklin which their own club shared.

Quote
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.

Good luck to Hawthorn but their own fans who give us crap forget their club hesitated before pick 5 on draft day. The Hawks took Roughead at 2 to try and get Tambling at 5 thinking we would go for a tall (Buddy) at 4. We wanted Lids at 1 and Roughead at 4. Both clubs didn't eventually get what they wanted before the 2004 draft no matter how much spin they say now to make out what they got was part of their grand plans.
Title: Re: tambling v franklin
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on September 15, 2007, 04:51:09 PM
The only reason Hawk fans are feeling smug is Terry came out after the draft and paraded all the draftees with Mark Graham at Clinton Casey's house and Terry precluded he had the best 2 players in the draft. Hawk fans have miscontrued the words and have been unforgiving since.
In my humble opinion ask me in 10 years and we well see the winner of that race. As Malcolm Blight once quipped post match after Geelong were belted in Round 1.
"The race is a marathon the one leading out of the stadium is not necessarily the one leading into the stadium".

Yeah maybe we should remind them of their Premiership Credentials in 2004 after Schwabby said they could go all the way and by round 7 riga mortis was more advanced on his corpse than Spud's.

If neither team wins a premiership during these players tenures at these clubs well what have Hawthorn got to gloat about. Its all about premierships isn't it. If Richmond wins a flag first and either Lids or Richie are not in the 22 does that make our success tarnished in the Hawk fans eyes b/c either of these boys were not playing? Please.

I have said it before and I will say it again Hawthorn fans still think we live in a time warp and it is 1989 and that they have a divine right to a flag. Furthermore they are what a psychiatrist who is worth his salt would describe characters with an inferiority complex not about what they are actually doing but more concerned with what others are doing and belittling the way they go about it. If my club had been called the Mayblooms once during its history and wore brown and yellow I too would have an inferiority complex.

Hawks are one loss away from oblivion.
Premiership Score since 2005
Richmond 0

Title: Tambling - A hard story told with grace (The Australian)
Post by: one-eyed on February 08, 2008, 08:05:17 PM
A hard story told with grace
Chip Le Grand | February 08, 2008 | The Australian

APPARENTLY, it is time for Richard Tambling to get a move on. Time to step up. Break out. To impose himself on the AFL.

After all, he is 21. Been playing for three years. I mean, how long should a Richmond supporter have to wait for a No4 draft pick to start shredding opposition teams?

It's an easy thing to say. Easy demands to make. Tambling is a talented footballer and, increasingly, talented footballers are expected to do big things at young ages. Dare we mention Chris Judd, who was a Brownlow medallist, club champion and All-Australian at the same age as Tambling is now?

But just out of curiosity, what were you doing at 21? Stretching out a uni degree? Working in a bar? Bumming around Europe? Whatever the answer, keep it in mind as you read on.

The truth about Tambling is that his AFL career is progressing quite nicely, thank you. Since arriving at Punt Road built like a badminton racquet at the end of 2004, he has played 53 senior games and kicked 40 goals. He has had some very good games and others not so good. Richmond has seen enough in the good ones to sign him until 2010.

This year, Tambling wants to shift from the forward line to the midfield, where he played all his junior football. He has set himself a short-term goal of being in the centre square for the opening bounce of the new season, when Richmond and Carlton, the two worst-performed teams of 2007, share the MCG on March 20.

"There is going to be a whole lot riding on it," Tambling said with a hint of foreboding. "I just hope fans don't jump off the bandwagon too soon."

Tambling has learned to think differently about football and particularly his place in the AFL. Where simplistic comparisons with Lance Franklin once riled him - Richmond took Tambling one pick before Hawthorn selected Franklin in the same national draft - he now realises he spent too much time worrying about things written or said.

Where Tambling was once impatient to leave his mark on the national competition, he now accepts that every footballer must develop at his own rate, regardless of draft position or his junior reputation.

"James Hird was taken in the lower end of his draft and he is an amazing player. (Brett) Deledio is a No1 and he has played like a No1. There has been over 100 years of footy and Chris Judd is the first person to do what he has done," Tambling said.

"It will be a long time again before another player can do what he has done. If I could become half the player he was at 21 I would be very happy."

Yet to really understand how far Tambling has come, you need to look beyond games played, possessions gathered and football altogether. To get a sense of what Tambling is all about, you need to consider what he did last year, when he took his kid brother Lachlan by the scruff and yanked him away from a likely and all too familiar fate of booze, drugs and hopelessness in the Northern Territory.

"He is only 16 now and he had missed two years of school," Tambling recalled during a break in Richmond training this week.

"He was hanging around with the wrong crowd. He didn't have something like I had, with footy, to tell him not to hang out with these types of people who don't see anything right for themselves in the future.

"I said to him, 'look mate, we obviously need to help you out, would you like to come live with me?' At the time, I had just bought a house and there was a spare room available. I asked him and he thought about it for a while but before he asked mum or anyone else he said yes, so mum didn't really have a say."

To complicate matters, the wrong crowd Tambling's brother was hanging with included family; cousins and uncles and aunts living on the outskirts of Darwin who didn't understand the damage they were doing.

To further complicate matters, Tambling had his own family in Melbourne to consider - his two-year-old son Tyson and partner Amy.

"It is a hard story to tell," he said. "My family still live in an Aboriginal community where the conditions aren't great. Within myself, and without telling anyone else, I felt guilty for living the life I am now and leaving them the way they are.

"Every now and then I still send money when they need it, but I just felt I needed to give something back and my brother gave me that opportunity.

"He was hanging around with people who were on drugs. He wasn't going to school or looking for a job. Now he is talking about finding a job, buying a house and never moving. Sometimes just being a role model doesn't help. You have to physically demand it from them every day. That is what I thought I could give Lachlan.

"I am more than happy with him living with me now. I have a two-year-old and it is sort of like taking on another kid at the age of 21, but he has made it easier for me down here because I barely knew anyone and he is a relative that I can be close to.

"He has gone to school for half a year and won half the school awards. He looked at me at the end of the year, after the awards, and said, 'I still can't believe it'.

"I just smiled at him. Anyone can do whatever they want if they put their mind to it, and he didn't give himself a chance back in Darwin."

There is one more thing to add to this story. At the time of Tambling's intervention on his brother's behalf, he was in the middle of a form slump. Not long after Lachlan came to live in Melbourne, Tambling was dropped to the VFL.

Yet despite the pressure mounting on Tambling inside and outside the club, particularly once the comparisons with Franklin started coming, Tambling chose not to tell the club about his changed living arrangements.

"I keep my family business away from the club unless I need help," he said. "It was pretty tough but if you have ever met my girlfriend Amy, you will understand who does all the shouting and yelling in our house. She has helped Lachlan quite a lot."

The other person who supported Tambling in his decision was his grandmother Barbara, the Tambling matriarch who raised him from the age of one. While Tambling's mother did not oppose the decision, it was Nanna Barbara who provided constant advice and reassurance.

"She has probably been the most important person in my life," Tambling said. "Not only did she raise me at a very young age, she taught me how to do things right.

"I speak to my grandma as much as I can, whether it is every couple of days or a week or two. We are always talking on the phone. I can barely understand what she says because she speaks in such a low pitch but it is just good to hear her voice. She is a very quiet woman until you get her grumpy."

During last year's post-season break, Tambling took little Tyson to Darwin to meet his great-grandmother and marvelled at the sight of him toddling around the same open spaces that he hunted and fished in as a boy. But curiously, when he boarded a plane to return to Melbourne, he felt he was going home as much as leaving it.

While Tambling is intent on building a new day job in the Richmond midfield, he is this year beginning a traineeship at a juvenile justice centre which could lead to a career in youth or social work after football.

Amy has nearly completed her university studies; Lachlan is enrolled for another year at Northland Secondary College and appears to be an auto-mechanic in the making.

"When I am here, there are things I can't do here that I can at home, such as fishing and shooting and exploring the land we have up there," Tambling said. "That makes me miss home quite a bit and I still consider Darwin home. But at the same time, when I do go up there, I miss Melbourne a bit.

"I miss having my own place, my own space and knowing that everything is mine. When I am at home, I didn't know what I could do and what I could touch. It is difficult. I will always consider Darwin home but Melbourne is where I am based and I am happy with it."

So what do you think? Time for Tambling to stand up, to break out, to impose himself? Or has he done that already.

There's a lot I would like to say about the comparisons and pressure that has be heaped on Richie but I am not going to since I will just end up ranting and I don't think ranting is necessary.

Richie, I am very happy we took you at 4 and I have no doubt that we have a very special footballer and human being at our club. I look forward to the next 10 years and 200 games.

Don't underestimate the value of quality people at your club.  Flawed geniuses come and go, some leave a positive legacy, some not, but the fabric that sustains a football club through years of ups and downs is quality of character.  A large part of the clean out we have had, has largely and fortunately rid our club of a cancerous culture that has been there for 30 odd years.  Richard Tambling is an example of our football department now trying to recruit the 'right' people, ones that can bring a positive influence off-field as well as on.  Yeah, have your Buddy and put him up as an indication of where Richmond got it wrong.  I say have patience young grasshopper, there are many more verses to this sonnet and I for one am 100% convinced (before this article came out) that we got the pick right and that history will prove us right.

Reality hits hard for Tambling
Jon Ralph | March 10, 2008

RICHARD Tambling can't quite put his finger on when, but at some stage after he arrived in Melbourne football stopped being fun.

Back in 2005 the Northern Territory junior prodigy rode into Punt Rd ona wave of hype, assuming fame andform would flow as easily as they hadin his junior days.

Then reality hit.

The constant comparisons to Hawthornstar Lance Franklin. The responsibility of bringing upson Tyson, born when Tambling was just 19. The hamstringstrains that consistently dragged him back to thepack.

And last year, the pressure oftaking wayward younger brother Lachlan from the temptations of Darwin and relocating him in Melbourne with Tambling and partner Amy.

"In junior footy you were the No. 1 person. But playing AFL is verydifficult. Outsiders see the weekend games, but they don't see the hard work that goes on behind it, whether it's physical or mental. Footy is draining," Tambling says.

"I had self doubt all the time. Ithink I let the outside world get to me, with the write-ups in the paper that I had against me. I let thatget to me, and now I have realised that you can't control that."

Anyone who meets Tambling is soon transformed from wishing he was Franklin to wishing himevery success – and soon.

Quietly spoken and far removed fromthe football stereotype, it is impossible not to be impressed with his maturity and honesty.

During a 2007 season in which Franklin's star power shone brighter than ever and Tambling at one stage found himself playing with Coburg,something finally clicked.

For so long quick to deny his worldwas anything other than perfect, he finally confrontedhis demons.

"There are sports psychologists at theclub and we had one that the boys go to. He didn't have to say much. As all psychologists do, he just said,`Tell me about it', and I just started blabbing on. Ifound out about these things I actually didn't know werebothering me.

"I didn't realise it at the time, but (the comparisons) were affecting me, aswell as the things outside football that related to myfamily matters.

"It's not until I actually sat downwith someone and opened up, the things that came out of my mouth, that I realised they were bothering me. And then I just spat it out. Then I realised, I can changethis.

"When I knew it was getting to me, Ifixed it straight away and that was when I came back andplayed that last (solid) month of footy."

Tambling saw the Richmond psychologist twice, and he started thinking about life and football differently.

"I haven't seen him since and my girlfriend has helped me out, so there's no need to flipout again," he said. "I couldn't be more happy. The last six months has been the happiest I have been."

While Richmond has beendecidedly low-profile this summer, the murmurings about Tambling's pre-season have been too loud toignore.

He missed a week with a rolledankle, but that aside, club insiders say there is no reason he willnot match those lofty junior predictions.

"Look out for him this year," says teammate Brett Deledio, picked three selections earlierat No. 1 in the 2004 national draft.

"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."

It is high praise from Deledio, but Tambling saysthe encouragement from his teammates isempowering.

"The boys have seen glimpses of what they want me to be and they believe I can become theplayer we need. They are backing me 100 per cent," hesays.

"When you come to an AFL club you look up to these blokes and are a little bit intimidated, and you holdback a bit, but they have told me, `This is what we wantyou to do'. AllI have to do is repay the belief they have in me."

As for the Franklin comparisons, Tambling acknowledges he can only end them with action.

"Buddy has gone a long way and he played greatfooty last year. There are always going to be people who compare you. You can still hear the Judd-Ball-Hodge thing, and you just try to ignore it and be the best youcan.

"It takes more development for some peoplethan it does others. I was pretty much a lightly-framedkid. Now I have put on a bit of bulk and I want to play at the level I know I can."

Brother Lachlan, 16, had dropped out of school when Tambling intervened. He is now thrivingat school.

And if Tyson was ever a distraction, he is now acheeky two-year-old who Tambling rushes home fromtraining to greet.

Tambling knows he and Richmond must perform thisyear for the circle to be complete, but at last he hasthe joy back in his life.

"Footy is going great, and I am very excited about the season.

"I have settled properly in Melbourne, got a house, got the little boy. No matter how bad your day has been, all it takes is one little smile and you are happy again."

yeah tough for this guy but its not his fault that richmond chose him and not franklin.
he shouldn't let that get him down.
i blame the rfc club for a lot of things and as for lids saying he has trained the house down, well i hope he performs on match day

No pressure eh Lids  :wallywink

I personally still think Blingers is 1-2 years away from what he could consistently produce. He's improved over summer and looks more comfortable at this level but I wouldn't say he's trained the house down. I'm glad he's got his head around the fact he can only control the things he has control over because you know as soon as he has a quiet game it'll be backpage news again ::).

He's copping extra because he's aboriginal too.

The comparisons of white players in similar circumstances,
while giving heed to good converstaion,don't carry the same stigma
as the indigenous related arguments because for some reason we foolishly
expect them to all be a Wanganeen at least within their first 2 seasons.

Richard gets the Franklin thing especially,because both are indigenous lads.

It's almost racist.....but nobody would ever admit it.

there all got gifted talent
fast skinny tricky players with quick minds
l have coached many of them & all were finished by 19yrs old
why  ??? cause there own culture is there problem & needs to be addressed properly
thats why there are so many programs in place but you got to get them to do it
some of the best players l ever coached all seen around drinking & in trouble
l've had Kickett, Long, Davies, & Murphy all down training & to lecture them about football
sad sad tale it hurts me to see them doing nothing & the community really needed there talent to kick the league on instead country teams were folding cause you have 30 of them going through juniors & a few years later none are playing footy
just my peice l hope there programs work for them but its going to be a huge process
they called me Coach Gubba now thats racist aint it  :lol

Buddy no bother for Tambling
Luke Holmesby

 12:08 PM Fri 04 April, 2008

WHEN Richmond drafted Richard Tambling at pick no. 4 in 2004, it was widely thought the Tigers had got a bargain.

Tambling had been tipped to go in the two selections after Brett Deledio at no. 1.

But when Hawthorn pulled a surprise and took Jarryd Roughead at 2 and the Bulldogs took Ryan Griffen at three, Tambling fell in to Richmond’s lap.

But it was the man that was drafted immediately after Tambling, Hawthorn’s Lance Franklin, who has developed quicker than any of his peers and now seems destined for greatness.

Tambling has been frustrated but has learned to ignore the constant comparisons with Franklin that have followed him for more than three years.

“It did go away for a bit. It’s not too bad, the first couple of times I got pretty upset about it and it affected me quite a lot but ever since last year I threw that out of my mind,” Tambling said.

“I can’t control the way Lance Franklin plays, I can only control the way I play so that’s what I’m focusing on.”

Contempt for external expectations and pressures seems a common theme at Punt Rd, which suits Tambling just fine.

“We did a whole lot of work on the team being united at the start of the year. I think that helped us a lot just sticking together. We don’t really care what anyone thinks but us,” he said.

“If we think we’re not going well then we’re the only ones that are going to punish ourselves. We try to block everything out and do the best we can week after week.”

Tambling, 21, has played 55 AFL matches mainly as a small forward with cameos in the midfield.

But his fourth season on Richmond’s list could be the making of him as a key part of the Tigers’ midfield.

“Coming off last year I had little stints in the middle. Terry [Wallace] challenged me in the pre-season and said I have to do a certain amount of work and told me the blokes I had to match to get in the midfield,” he said.

“My role in the midfield has been defined for me so I know what I have to do in there. I have a set position there to play. It’s sort of more understandable so it gives me more confidence in what I do.”

Tambling has been working closely with midfield coach Brian Royal and has been following the example set by Nathan Foley.

Foley and Tambling have followed contrasting paths to the AFL system, Tambling the gifted top five draft pick and Foley the undersized midfielder who had to earn a spot through the rookie list.

Tambling said Foley had become a role model to many at Richmond.

“For where he’s gotten to it is down to hard work and the extras every day that got him to where he is. We all respect him for that and look up to him because he is such a hard worker,” Tambling said.

But far from being handed an AFL career on a platter, Tambling says it took some adjusting for a Darwin native to settle in to the hustle and bustle of Melbourne life and the discipline of the AFL world.

He says it wasn’t that he missed his hometown, but more the people in it, with a then six-year-old brother one of the hardest to farewell. Since then he has made an extra effort to welcome young indigenous players who like him had to travel thousands of kilometres to follow their AFL dream.

“Last year Carl Peterson was with us and I thought because we had a similar background that I could help him out a lot,” Tambling said.

“This year Clayton Collard’s here from Perth and we have a similar background and personality. I get around and try to make the other boys feel comfortable as best I can.”

Tambling is settled in his Preston home with partner Amy and two-year-old son Tyson. He says whenever he has doubts about himself as a senior football or has just heard another Lance Franklin comparison, it all disappears as soon as he walks in the front door.

“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.”

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 arse 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

Can't blame the club. I was praying on draft day that we'd get Deledio and Griffen, but Tambling was very highly rated. In short bursts he has shown form that he was showing in the U18s. It looks like a pretty major mistake at this stage, but he is only 21 just started his 4th season. At least give him 1/2 a chance to come good. Morton was top 10 in that draft crop also. Will be intersting to see how good these two are in 3 years time, when 24yoa.

That rookie draft we took Thursty @ 1. Best young full back in the league IMO - those are also so hard to find its not funny.

I do however beleive that the biggest problem on our list is we dont have a star young KPP forward. A Franklin/Gumbleton/Hawkins kid is what we need. We kind of have 3 'B' types. Reiwoldt/Hughes/Schultz - pick 13/24/12, but none really top self with abilty to replace Richo. Overachived instead of tanked in 05/06

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 eshit cos of the team around him, even deledio is not looking no where as gooid as he used to thanks to the dunb poos he plays with

so all these idiots asking why did we get blingers over buddy, well why didnt we get buddy over deledio

playing our kids alongside these tools has damaged their progress

my theory is, all kids in teh tac system can play, they may be small , but they can play
tac footy is a better standard than vfl, but all kids are left to rot in teh vfl and alongside the rfc snior duds

dale thomas, pendles, etc etc, were all skinny kids and still are, and they are enouraged to just go and play footy and do the team things

look at cyril rioli!!! ffs, his body is not developed, but poo, he has a crack like most hungry kids

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


thats why i cant stand wallace.
he had the best opportunity to drop petts and what does he do. play him!!
how about bowden or tuck. these idoits do not deserve a game but no terry the tool has to drop players like hughes.
yep his making a stand there. give me a break!!

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).

Bowden is a blight upon our culture and a offers no leadership (other than the negative type) to our team and backline. He is unaccountable and undersized. The only thing he is good at is racking up meaningless possessions to help out SuperCoaches!  :-X

Tuck is the only player of size we have in the middle. Tuck is not there because of his silky skills or his pace - he is there because he can crash the packs. Until we have someone gain that physical strength to replace him then he has to stay.

Johnson is there because he is a good player. Not a great players or even a good onfield leader but e is a good player with experience and know-how. Until this can be replaced again we have to suffer through his urinary exploits for the short term.

Richo needs to go for the future of our team. Not because he is a bad player or doesn't give his all but just because he is holding back our future 'Forward Team Dynamics'.

Browny is now our 4th or 5th best forward. He no longer has the pace or agility to compete on the lead. Saddly he will be replaced by the end of next year.

Yes some of the immediate decisions are questionable...as long as they make the right longterm decisions I can live with them though.

na mate your wrong.
ill tell who is holding back our future forward going forward its our pathetic coach and his  helping hands, thats who.

hughes should be in this side, no ifs no buts. its not richo's fault that he gets the ball delivered to him with 3 players by his side.

ur wrong about johnson he is not a good player nor is he a good leader. he brings the club down to his level.

the players have no one to look up to if they are looking up to him for guidance.

i agree with u on pathetic pettifer and bowden. geez the wheels have really fallen off there

Every season he has grown in confidence and showed something extra. He has never actually gone backwards though his progress has been slower than many of his peers. His steady improvement has been a constant throughout his short career. It is not in the least surprising that he is now beginning to show some magic and move his potential away from the realms of imagination and firmly into reality.

The signs were there since after half-time in the Carlton game. He was the only Tiger who won the ball in the middle against North and last week was good inside against the Pies. It was the outside stuff where he was making a few errors. Yesterday he complemented his ballwinning abilites at stoppages with clean attacking disposal in the clear. It was Blingers first all-round game. He's still a year or two away but hopefully we'll see more and more of these all-round games as he matures. He's still only 21.

contrary to what biasee may believe i would love no more than to say "i was wrong" about tambo, mcmahon or anyone else for that matter.

tambo though is a different player and im starting to like it. maybe the monkey is finally off his back.

i really believe this weeks game is prob the most important game of the year. If we back it up against quality opposition, many will say we may be arriving. if we go down without a fight it will back to same old

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 stuff 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.

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..

agree tigersalive...i think tambling played a pretty solid game today....won his own share of ball esp in the 3rd when we had a surge....also..i dont' think mitchell had that much of an influence today (compared to usual anyway...certainly didn't dominate)....i remember seeing bling on him most of the time when he was on the ground....certainly curtailed mitchell's influence a fair bit...well done bling...

i had no idea who was playing on sewell..but...he didnt' seem to have that great of a game either....

Blingers also had a injury interrupted first year compared to Lids playing every game and winning the NAB rising star award.

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.

The thing that impressed me most was how he bounced back in the 2nd half. The Richard Tambling of previous seasons would have been a ghost in the 2nd half if he had a quiet start. Not only did he work himself into the game he gave us a heap of momentum and actually a chance of coming back in the 3rd qtr.

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.

I have been getting very excited about Blings progress this year. In the past I have been worried about his decision making skills but this year he appears confident in his ability and a huge reason why we are winning so much contested ball this year. Lids on the other hand doesn't appear to have improved and his size may be the reason.

My faith has been renewed that Bling will turn into the player we all thought he would become.

Hope renewed at Tigerland!  :clapping

i think that was more out of necessity...i still think he'd play regularly in the centre....we needed someone who's able to keep up with wonaemirri and davey...JON was one and tambling had to go to the other....but it was good work indeed.....his workrate in the last quarter was brilliant.....also loved when he was on the wing one on one with davey with no options to kick to....threw a dummy and side stepped davey...BRILLIANT....
i'd like to see more of that confidence when he plays in the middle....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.

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.

I thought Blingers wasn't bad yesterday. A couple of silly mistakes (he wasn't alone there) but a number of good things too. It was his best game in 10 weeks IMO by far. At least he continually involved himself in the game. His confidence is still down IMO but the signs from him were better. Liked his inside work at the stoppages. If he had nailed both those shots on the run it would've been a huge boost to his confidence. Agree with tiga that Tambo looks much better when he takes the opposition on as he did going for those goals on the run rather than being too unselfish and dishing off little sideways passes to teammates unnecessarily.
Title: Tambling on SEN
Post by: one-eyed on July 27, 2008, 12:17:10 PM
Blingers was on SEN @ 11.30am

* Michael Voss awarded him the Bravia for best on ground on Ch 10 last night

* Coach told him to take them on.

* KB said it was shades of Michael Mitchell when he ran down the ground bouncing the ball. Tambo said he was buggered by the time he got to the square.

* The pass to Joel is just what you do. He was 5m behind Joel when he kicked the winning goal so was the first to hug him. Joel told him it wasn't long left so we clogged up the backline

* Tambo said he has always been good overhead but he's small at AFL level. Getting better and the more he backs himself the better.

* Don't mind being defensive on a man then being more attacking. Happy to be just on the field. Hopes to get into the midfield soon.

* Didn't hear much about Miller until after the game. A bit of shock and we'll just see what happens. Still don't know much about it.

* Biggest influences was Krak early on. Everyone good blokes at the club now.

* KB said his leadership skills are so well respected down at the club he could end up captain one day and even run the whole club.

On yesterday's game alone, I thought he was really good after 1/4 time and would have slipped him into 1 vote - but then again I was getting into the game passionately and probably my votes mean f**k all bc I have no idea when Im busy running up and down the aisles high fiving the crowd  :lol :lol

One thing I did learn about Blingers on Wed at the Cocktail party, hes just a kid. He still has a lot of maturing and developing to do - you see Lids who was a bit more of a man, and thats not a bad thing - I just think eveyrone is different and comes along at different rates. This kid has a child and has no support here apart from the club and relocated from the sticks....this all plays a role.

Anyway, hopefully he keeps improving and we see more drive like last night's 2nd half.

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

It was his 4th time - once in '06, once in '07 and twice so far this season.  He had double figure disposals 4 out of 12 games in '05, 15/21 in '06, 17/20 in '07 and 16/16 so far in '08.  He averaged 9.25 disposals and 2.08 tackles in '05, 12.0 disposals and 2.28 tackles in '06, 13.6 disposals and 2.45 tackles in '07 and 16.37 disposals and 3.37 tackles so far in '08.  He is getting more consistent and more productive each year and his impact on games is increasing similarly.

if tambling played off half back or midfield all his career he would be getting over 20 touches each game

but he has not had the game time and positioning as others due to his development. those wankers who buy into that 20plus possession game stat obv have no idea about footy

he is averaging no different to dale thomas, actually , alot better than thomas with less game time , but the footy media just love tha daisy tool

He has good skills, creates, takes them on and glides across the grass at pace with and without the ball.

He is owesome when he takes the opposition on and seems to dance around them like they are standing still. Bling is damaging with his disposals and the more time he has the ball in his hands the better for us as a club.

Great game by a great future leader of the club  :thumbsup

Watching the game live I was surprised Richie got such huge wraps to be honest. Halfway through the third quarter onwards he was very good and he was slaughtering the Lions with his run in the last but I wasn't happy with him not going hard enough at contests in the first half and he kept circling back into congestion when if he had just looked forward first he would see free teammates just forward of the contest to give a quick handball and we would've been away.

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.

Channel 10 showed some stats on that (watched the replay today) and I think it's 4-5 games of over 20 with only 3 over 23. With yesterday being his best return.

I thought it was without question his best game for the RFC last night... He was my BOG without hesitation

In the last he ran 100+ metres to make that pass to Joel. He started in the back pocket, ran past Jordy, past Sugar and then past Matty White to accept the handball and pass to Joel with flat pass on the chest rather than one of those floating high kicks that seem to be the norm in footy today.

Sensational game by a player who is going to be very good for us long term :thumbsup

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.
Title: Richard Tambling continues his rise (Herald-Sun)

Richard Tambling continues his rise
Bruce Matthews | July 28, 2008

IT WAS another sign of the continuing maturity of Richard Tambling that he made the right decision in a crisis.

No one has questioned the speed that propelled Tambling within scoring range during a match-defining sprint down the city-side wing at Telstra Dome on Saturday night.

But as numerous options became available and the crowd roared, some of them would have been wondering what would happen next.

They had no need to worry as Tambling pin-pointed a pass on to the chest of teammate Joel Bowden for the goal that denied Brisbane and kept alive Richmond's finals push.

"I was going to try and have a ping myself, run forward and have a shot. But I saw Bowden out (on the lead) and (Daniel) Jackson was also out. So I just had to put it in the spot, and those boys did all the work," Tambling said.

"If you're going to have it in anyone's hands, it's Joel. We backed him 100 per cent, but we set up our zone just in case (he missed). We would have been only two points down if he didn't kick it, so we would have tried to get the ball back."

Bowden's third goal of the last quarter was the seventh lead change of this wildly fluctuating contest, but the Tigers didn't know there was only 22 seconds left on the game clock.

"After Joel kicked it, he said there was a minute left. Then we pushed the numbers back on the backline.

We didn't know how long there was, so we just wanted to get back and keep possession of the footy," Tambling said.

Coach Terry Wallace labelled Tambling's rebound from his half-back role as his finest contribution in his 70 heavily scrutinised games for the Tigers.

Not only did he subdue Lions goalsneak Anthony Corrie, the fleet-footed Tiger's run and carry delivered 27 disposals.

"I played there against Melbourne and I need to become more familiar with the role if I'm going to play on a dangerous player," Tambling said.

"It sort of comes naturally. You can see everything in front of you and I think that suits my game. Obviously, my job was to rebound and carry the footy. But I had to do my job first, try not to let my player get a kick, and then take off whenever I thought it was right.

"There are still matches where I go without possessions for long periods of time, but I thought I did my job back there pretty well.

"I gave the boys a bit of run when I had to run."

Despite being at the centre of the Tigers' past two narrow victories, Bowden again refused to publicly share his thoughts.

tambling tried real hard and had little support, and had the ipps under presure. but he wasnt alone, but at leats he kept trying to take them on. i am more disappointed with our leaders. bar richo who is a gun, but simmonds was outright pathetic, newman overrated and cost us more with his bad decisions than tamblings clangers, foley, needs to grow up and become a man and gut run to beat a tag.  also not happy with morton, kept on playing behind harley   :banghead :banghead :banghead  morton should know better

on a positive, i thought mguane moore and thurstfield can keep their heads up high. they did a damn good job, considering how many inside 50s they had

Was one of our best last night and took the opposition on to try and break the lines. Most of his clangers were because he was trying to move it quickly forward rather than kick backwards etc safely. I would prefer Blinger keeps playing this way than for us to revert to the uncontested backline we had up until recently.

As a midfielder or small defender his size will not be a factor, look at Foley, Harvey or Kerr if you think size is an issue. Blinger always looks most exciting and dangerous when he is taking the opposition on and running out of defence and breaking the lines this strength will prove match winning (such as his match winning run in the final minute against the Lions).

There are plenty of players who are a concern. Blinger at this stage is not one of them.

I reckon that the Brisbane game was the confidence booster Blingers needed to really believe in himself at this level and it also finally got people looking at him as a footballer in his own right rather than just regurgitating the same old boring Richmond missed out on Buddy crap.

He's been improving each year as shown by his stats and he's made a significant gains in the defensive side of his game. He's still not 22 y.o. yet either. A similar level of improvement to this year in 2009 would get him over the 20 disposal mark you'd expect from a quality midfielder/rebound defender. If he plays more midfield next year then you'd also like more goals from him too.

          Avg Disp.    Tackles
2005:   9.3              25

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.

Here we have a player that I think comes under the banner you like him or you don't and also still making uo your minds.
I have not been a fan of his for a while and if this is wrong or right I'm really unsure.
Though reading comments being made about him lately what I have thought of him is sort of coming true.
And there seems to be a few of us who just are not fans of him.
Some have said he would not even get a game at some club in the senior side.
It is only Terry keeping him there to justify why he is still at our club.
I think that he has had the time to show his worth and I think that he is not worth the worry like many here think to.
And I think his best football is waiting for Essendon where he really wants to be.
I have said this a couple of times as this is what he said when drafted to us. That the Bombers were his prefered club.
Time is now for him to prove us all wrong and perform on the main stage or go to the Bomber's.
But will he get picked up if he was placed on the draft list at the end of this year ?
Being honest I wont miss him if we lose him but I think he will play better at another team.  :whistle

Your right its not about the Franklin comparison its about the RFC football drafting duds like these 2 above and playing them in our senior side when they deserve it.

Rance should have played last year, he deserved it performing for Coburg week in week out meanwhile this pretender does what he wants and occupies a spot in the seniors.

He is not even worthy of a top 50 pick let alone a top 10.

He is not a fit for our football club. Finally some of you are starting to see that now.

This is a make or break year for Bling. I think he will play more out of the middle this year possible on the wing where he has try and break the lines which there will be plenty of with all this zoning, guarding space trend. Blinger has no injuries and more size this year so, with some extra confidence, he may well find a more permanent place in the centre.

Bling gets a lot of criticism because he is tackled or backs out of marking contests but people only see half the picture. He is one of the few players we have who will take on an approaching tackler and often win while other players will turn around and kick back to get out of trouble. With a zone going backwards does nothing but allow the opposition to re[position themselves. We need players taking on the zone to get it into our F50 and Bling is one of the few players who can do this on our list.

People say they no longer compare him to Franklin which may be true but it has coloured peoples expectations and judgement from the start about him. If Franklin wasn't around people would have a different perception of Bling because he is not the worst player in the team, far from it, and he still has alot to offer if the coaches can finally give him a set position.

I agree that this year is important to his future because spots are getting tougher to keep. He is no defender though and was not recruited as one. Put him on the HFF or wing and give him a year to prove himself because I after that I have run out of excuses for him.

Make or break year unquestionably

I have been pro Richie as I see a lot of good things in him with his ability to play football, his speed and skill level are very high IMO.  At the very least I want him to succeed because I think he can be a very good to excellent player and if it is not with us then I am sure some other club will benefit.

However it can only go on for so long and I would say this year has to be the year he steps up.  On the plus side since he has started his stats have always been on the up.

Interesting to hear what Beren said about Richie as I didnt know that and I though last year was a pretty good one for him.

Title: Re: Richard Tambling

I will say here that I have never been the biggest and best fan of him. And I was and still are waiting for him to show us what he really is all about.
I have never worried about the Franklin thing with him. I have judged him as one of our team. And I think he has continuely come up short.
Yer he has played a few good games in his time. But I just don't think he has put it all on the line for us. And this is what I think really does come down to the fact that he wanted to be a Bomber.
Those days have gone, and I thought that once he got resigned (which I thought was too early) that he would turn the page and make his mark for us. And I am sadly still waiting for that consistant play where he is mentioned game after game.
Richard has fallen short of the mark for me and I don't like to say it as I wanted him to be good and all we have got in return is average. And this just doesn't cut it, So as you all have said this year he has to pull his finger out and prove us wrong and that he is worth having.
If he proves me wrong I will be happy, as I think he is a good fella, but as a footballer for us I see him as a loss.

From day one Wallace was making excuses about him. Indigenous players take longer to develop and blah blah blah. He has flashes of brilliance but they are few and far between hence he kicked four goals against Eagles in a qurter and his next noteworthy deed may be 10 weeks later.

He makes an effort but it is clear in my opinion on effort alone he is deficient and at best in a good side he is a passenger. In 4 years has not turned a game for us nor has saved a game for us he merely is a contributor. If he was a pick 54 and not a pick 4 we all would not be having this conversation. However it seems us trying to perservere with him and make him something he is not due to his draft selection ( an elite footballer) is a futile one. I get the feeling if Richie has another similar season to the last few with no much improvement whether Wallace is here or not he will be trade bait especially for someone like the Gold Coast which I am for as I would rather lose a flanker like Tambling as opposed to a KPP like McGuane who is from there.

It is not about the Franklin comparison either its passed that. Hawthorn have won a flag and Buddy has kicked a ton lets all get over it both Tiges and Hawks fans. Time to accept the last 4 or 5 years and move on both player and club. Wallace won't achieve anything by perservering with him if his form is not up to scratch. He has already given him a pre season pep up the rest is up to Richie if he does have the capacity to significantly improve. I feel he hasn't and I really doubt he will but I am more than happy to be proved wrong by him for the greater good of the RFC.

Absolutely, whats brought all the negative assessments, couldn't have been the other night because he played well especially in the first half but made a couple of mistakes.
I was there and would suggest he played a lot better than most of the side. Really like the leads and marks plus the way he took them on.

Get over the Franklin thing because draft day doesn't come with a rewind button.

Couldn't,t have been the game against Freo as he had alot of bench time because he played in the indigenous match against Adelaide.


I believe we lost the other night mainly because Collingwoods fitness level and match preparation was ahead of ours.

Richard Tambling might not be the super star you all wanted him to be but he improves each year, is still young enough to improve and worth a game.

I would be keen to see who people would suggest we should replace him with based on form and not potential!

Guess Tambling going to be the new scape goat whipping boy to replace Tiv. Eat em alive

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.

Yeah okay everyone is entitled to their opinion and u have said yours but hear this.

Tambling is not in our best 22. He has done nothing in any of his 90 odd games except against the eagles.

He compares himself to Buddy so no need for any of us to do it for him. I see too much of JON in him every time he touches the ball.

Ive seen enough of his frail type before to know a dud status awaits our Richard and a new club hopefully by round 22.

You only have to listen to SEN, Talk back callers, respected commentators in the indutry to know every one thinks the same about him.

He simply has not got the skill and confidence to be a successful player

Rance will replace him on our half back line and Windy Hill will await Ritchie come season's end.

First of all I would like to say that Richie is only 22 years of age and has been improving every year.Most people agree that footballers are in their prime at age 24-27 so Richard has time on his side.
Now to refresh your memories on Richies 2008.
Tambling averaged 17.5 disposals per game.He had the 11th most number of kicks (at Richmond).6th most number of handballs.8th most number of total disposals.5th most contested possessions and 3rd most number of tackles.(just behind Tuck & Foley)
Richard had a season high 27 possessions against Brisbane in round 17,  his worst was against Geelong -12 touches (round 7)

I know Richard is no WORLD BEATER at the moment but to suggest he is NOT in our best 22 is LUDICROUS.

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."

Poor excuse and lets save the player from further mental disintegration.

You cross the white line guess what you're ready to play.
You put your hand up at selection guess what you're ready to play.
Coach picks you to play guess what you're ready to play.

I can only hope his life outside footy is all okay or will be okay but this just smacks of sympathy and it is a slur on either the player or the coaching staff or both for that matter for allowing him to play if he is indeed suffering duress. Perhaps the Bulldogs could have played one man short on the ground today to accomodate for Richie.

Its crap like that and excuses like that, that have plagued this club since the 80's and have stunted any development. We are not hard enough as a footy department nor club. If the final decision was Tambling's I can only hope the club make him accountable and drop him for next week as that was nowhere near acceptable.

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.

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)

Hypocracy at its best

so what about last years best and f,. atm, they are both out of form. Deledio has played only one decent quarter in 3 games, the 3rd quarter v geelong, yet all the heat is on Tambling .

Facts are , Deledio this year has been a let down also, but he isnt alone but it amazes me how Tambling cops all the crap.

Riewoldt has been poor this year so far, nothing said about him?

Nobody is suggesting that he couldnt couldn't play better (understatement) but where does backing a bloke when he's down mean 100% support.

I just think Richie looked lost and low on confidence after making those mistakes! I belive he was in a panic and was running to the wrong position!

I'm not suggesting that he shouldn't be dropped if he's out of form but I am suggesting with all being equal on form, he is well and truely in our best 22.

Anyway, as he's a confidence player crapping on him non stop is counter productive - it won't punish him as much as it will punish us the Richmond faithfull because he wont step up or we will trade for nothing and he will star for another side.

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.

The problem is WP the coaching staff at the RFc think exactly like you.

waiting, hoping that a player i.e JON, Tambling, Schulz come good but let me tell you it doesn't happen.

Why not try something different and offload Ritchie whilst he has currency. Remember Otto we got 2 top 20 draft picks because we acted fast.

Anyhing has got to be better than watch another version of JON running around in circles. His confidence was shot.

His confidence has been shot the day he has come to Punt Road.

Freo will give up for him why not take a punt and let him go.

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.

Was one of our best play makers. Attacked the ball, broke tackles and was excellent defensively. He may have only amassed 16 possessions but he sacraficed his own game to block and shepherd Lids tagger to allow Brett the freedom to use the ball.

Played an excellent team game. I am excited about his potential once again  :pray

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.

That great goal by Bowden in the last quarter which turned out to be the game breaker was actually started by Ritchie winning the hard ball in the backline.

Tambling reminds me a little bit of Mark Merenda.Mark struggled in his first few years and was a fringe player at best.Then one match in 1996 Mark kicked 5 goals and that was the making of him.(for a few years anyway).Hope Ritchie has one of those games soon-A game where he realises he belongs at AFL level.

In my opinion we have got the 2 worse Aboriginal players in the AFL.
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.

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.

Needs to do more plain and simple.
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.

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!

Lids and Cogs have both won games for us in the past and have been BOG for us on numerous occassions. When Tambling gets a BOG and more than once for that matter and consistently gets 20 -25 possessions most weeks regardless of position on the ground then I'll applaud him and I'll say he's improved. He's had five seasons to reach a certain level and so far he hasn't. Blokes like Chapman do it up forward and through the midfield week in week out. Tambling needs to raise his game. I hope I am wrong but the clock is now ticking. Tick Tick Tick.

I never said it did, however my example still stands

Leon Davis was flashy, MIA and inconsistent until the age of 26 which was his first ever genuinely solid season. In 2008 he stepped it up another level and became a very good player, but he was 27 years old and in his 9th season.

Before BLINGA was drafted people said he played abit like the amazing Bloods captian Kelly.

If we get Cotchin and BC in the team then Tambling gets the 6th defender / attacker more or less and forgotten by coach of other team.

Sorry 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.

I have said it before and got proved wrong by him (Tambling).
I sound the death bell for him and he comes back and plays really good.
Would just love to see him playing good all game and not in and out of it.

Like, in my mind, McLeod of Adelaide does. When he is good, watch out.
And when he is ordinary, he isn't worth being on the feild.
This is what I hope Tambling doesn't do, but it looks a little like he is.

I want him to prove me and a few other's wrong about our feelings to him.
Cause if he plays well, he could be the game winner for us.
So it is a win, win thing.
Title: Re: Richard Tambling
Post by: mightytiges on April 30, 2009, 06:54:37 PM
At the moment Blingers is in the Daniel Wells bracket (although he cops far greater criticism than Wells does). Both inconsistent and both expected to do more given they were a high draft pick. McLeod would be in the top 5 aboriginal players ever. McLeod had two Norm Smith's by the time he was 22.

Don't know if I can agree with that part.  Every single player in the competition will look ordinary on an off day (I put up Richo as a case in point) but they are always worth having on the field.  Just one play of the class that they have can change a game.

And unless he has been carrying injury, I don't recall too many games over a long career where McLeod hasn't been serviceable at the very least.  He is a champion in the true sense and I would dearly have loved to see him at Richmond for his career.

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.

I got to say I was gutted after that WB effort and very dirty on it as I have always supported RT as the underdog, however his last two performances have done a lot to restore my peace of mind on Tambo.

I am unable to make any comments on Tambling this week as we have no link to watching the game.
But like I have said I call for him to be kicked into the 2s and he comes up wiith a good game.
Now we just need to keep him on this high for us. It will only be a benifit for both, him and us.
So I will eat humble pie and happily if he can prove he is up to the task of an AFL player.
We all do need to get behind our players, and our player have to get behind our players to.
Instead of 18 playing as individuals and not as a team.
Would have love to seen the Swans game, but cant.
I wasn't to suprised by us losing and the margin was okay.
Now get Tambo to play as well as others so we can turn the corner.

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.

Including his crap game against the dogs, he is performing better year on year as he has every year of his career

Averages

2005 6.0 Kick 3.2 Hand 9.3 Disp 3.4 Mark 0.8 Goal 2.1 Tack
2006 8.4 Kick 3.6 Hand 12.0 Disp 4.4 Mark 0.7 Goal 2.3 Tack
2007 8.0 Kick 5.6 Hand 13.6 Disp 4.7 Mark 0.9 Goal 2.5 Tack
2008 9.2 Kick 8.3 Hand 17.5 Disp 5.1 Mark 0.5 Goal 3.3 Tack
2009 10.5 Kick 8.2 Hand 18.7 Disp 6.3 Mark 0.7 Goal 2.0 Tack (from 6 games so far)

He also seems to be getting better as the year goes on, so hopefully by the end of the season he will be averaging over 20 disposals per game. Remember, he's still only 22 years old.

It's not only that Richie is getting bigger numbers now on a more consistent basis but he's beginning to get it as far as understanding the game. He's no longer running around like he is lost out there. He's starting to run to the right spots to provide an option and receive the footy and he's now having an impact on games. There's still improvement required of course but as you say Infamy he's still only 22.

He once again played a very good game.

I was surprised to see he only got 19 disposals, it seemed like more to me.  I thought his disposal and effect on the game was fairly significant.

I wondered how much bench time he had as like Bushy I thought he did seem to fade in and out of the game a bit.

Infamy stats were great to see and I am back to thinking RT could be a very very handy player.

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'm affraid to say I still don't think Tambling is an AFL player.
I know others made mistakes too. But I think he should only be a VFL player and I will stick with this.
I know it ain't gonna win my mr popular here but it what I think.
And I will stay with it. I was actually suprised that he did hit the target a few time last night so that is a bonus I think.
But I think he is still too unaccountable on feild and in his decision making when he has to think quick.
He lets himself down.
Now I know I would be crap at it if it was me but it isn't me I'm talking about.

last night deledio showed he is elite when he works his arse off, imo his best game for us . he oozed class , but always has, what i loved about lids last night wasnt his class, but his work ethic/work rate

tambling is the opposite, he has always had the worl ethic and work rate, just has been lost out there a few times, but thi syr its all coming together
so if he keeps this up, by rnd 22 he will be seen as a top player and will justify his selection.
tambling is finally starting to believe and its showing

Last night Richie broke his all time disposal record (28) beat the 27 he got in the Brisbane game last year.

Both games played as a running defender....Thats where he should play every week.

As junior vice president of the Ritchie fan club I couldn't be happier with his progress this year.

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 wonder how much Buddy's 'average' season has freed up Blingers in the mind as Richie did admit in previous years the comparison and criticism got to him. I know Franklin has still kicked 34 goals and I'm not comparing the two but due to his interrupted preseason and lack of fitness Buddy hasn't had much influence on games for Hawthorn this year and in fact Garry Lyon bagged Franklin for not chasing and giving away too many 50m penalties on Footy Classified last Monday night. So Richie hasn't had to put up this year with the weekly "Buddy-love" in the media and the taunts about us selecting Richie with pick 4. Averaging 23 disposals, 8 marks, 3 tackles and almost a goal in his past 5 games shuts up the critics too mind you  :thumbsup.

Post by: mightytiges on June 14, 2009, 05:56:16 AM
Brilliant first half by Blingers and a good game overall although he was stuffed towards the end from all the running he did. It was his workrate off the ball that was most impressive leading into space. None of this spectating that he has been criticized for in the past. No wonder he had 14 marks. He was bloody everywhere. That sprint from one wing to the other in the last when he read the game and knew all other options for his teammate were manned-up summed up his night for me. The 6 assists just made him even more dangerous. Virtually his first 3 kicks lead to goals. There hasn't been much to cheer about this year but Richie coming good in the past 6 weeks is at least one them. Well done Blingers and keep up this standard from now on :clapping.

I thought he was outstanding also If he could have kept up the effort for 1 more quarter he would have certainly been best on ground, anyway he was terrific and hopefully he can get more confidence. As for Deledio it seems to me that he is very very disinterested. Doesnt look as though he wants to be there and lets just leave it at that.

Tambling lives up to the hype
Rohan Connolly | June 15, 2009

HAS there been an AFL player of recent times more maligned than Richard Tambling? It's doubtful.

The Richmond runner has paid a hefty price for failing to live up to the pre-draft hype that surrounded his selection in 2004, compounded by the legend that has grown about the man selected immediately below him — Lance Franklin.

But you are less likely to hear comparisons after another good performance on Saturday night in what is becoming easily the best spell of his now 85-game career.

Round six against Sydney might turn out to be the defining moment of Tambling's career. He had already carried the selection can for the Tigers' appalling start to the season when, reprieved again, he picked up 23 touches that afternoon.

He's averaged 24 disposals since, a superb game off half-back against Fremantle and Saturday night's effort against the Eagles the pick.

As Richmond built its third win of the year in the first quarter, Tambling was everything the Tigers thought they had drafted five years ago — quick, skilful, a game-breaking running machine and a pivotal part of the game plan.

He had 14 disposals in that first term, significant touches that almost always went to his side's advantage. Those who'd watched him as a kid in the Northern Territory would have been overwhelmed by the deja vu.

Confidence can play just as big, if not a bigger part in a player's development as physical preparation, and right now, Tambling has plenty. He's backing himself consistently to break the lines, and the hesitance and fumbling that has marred so many previous performances has disappeared.

It's still too early to say definitively Tambling has finally "made it". There's a long list of names who'll be cleaning out their Punt Road lockers come September. But Tambling's might have just come off it.

Title: Tambling: Mind over chatter (Herald-Sun)
Post by: one-eyed on June 28, 2009, 05:47:08 AM
Mind over chatter
Glenn McFarlane | June 28, 2009

FOR a person who has had to endure almost as much on-field scrutiny as any other over the past five seasons, it's a wonder Richmond's Richard Tambling retains any sense of empathy.

But this week, in the middle of the most consistent form of his career, Tambling said he felt for Melbourne's Jack Watts, whose first-up efforts have been the subject of conjecture, despite only playing three games.

Unlike Tambling, 18-year-old Watts was a No. 1 draft pick.

The 22-year-old Tiger was a No. 4 selection, but came under intense assessment throughout the Terry Wallace years, largely because the man Richmond overlooked was chosen by Hawthorn a pick later, a kid called Lance Franklin.

That was clearly not Tambling's fault but, in many ways, it has been his burden.

"I copped it pretty much from day one," Tambling said. "Being an early draft pick puts pressure on you, just like Jack Watts now.

"I definitely feel for him. He has got to develop, and players develop at different times. Of course there are going to be others such as Daniel Rich and Stephen Hill who burst on to the scene and be better than Jack Watts. He just needs to be given some time."

Few players have been more victims of their placement in order of draft selection than Tambling. While his career at Punt Rd over 4 1/2 seasons, and 85 games, has been sporadic more than successful, it has been compared endlessly with that of the very different (in all aspects) frame of Franklin.

The endless comparisons, the pressure on him internally and externally, and the barrage of abuse he has copped on both sides of the fence may have crushed a lesser person.

For a time, too, Tambling worried the pressure might push him to breaking point. It affected his passion for the game he once played carelessly and effortlessly as a kid growing up in the Northern Territory.

He knows "Buddy" Franklin, but has not spoken to him about the subject.

And it is only now, almost five years on, he feels truly comfortable with his role in the game.

This is largely thanks to his rich vein of form over the past two months, the perfect balance of his life off the field and sessions of hypnotherapy he says cleared clearing his mind of the negatives.

"I copped it from the crowd, but also from the opposition, saying a lot of stuff about you," he said. "They try to put you off your game and get inside your head.

"Coming into the system as an 18-year-old, you don't know what to expect and you don't know how to react to things.

"With all the training, and the games, and with the club not being successful in those first couple of years, it did weigh heavily on me for a time.

"I sort of did wake up in the mornings, and think, 'Is this all actually worth it, is it going to happen for me?' I wasn't close to walking away from it, but it was pretty tough at times."

Tambling says this to emphasise how tough it can be for footballers who are on the wrong side of the scrutiny.

And he acknowledges he still has a long way to go to ensure he becomes a 10-year player.

A moderate performer in the club's woeful first-round loss to Carlton, Tambling missed the next game against Geelong with hamstring soreness.

He returned in Round 3 against the Western Bulldogs but turned in what he described as "a complete shocker", admitting he thought too much about the game and his role in it.

There was an excuse, though Tambling was loath to speak about it because he still believes it had nothing to do with his efforts that day.

He had had no sleep going into the game, having attended the birth of his daughter, Leah, the previous day. His son, Tyson, was born in Darwin three years ago while Tambling was training with the Tigers in Melbourne.

"She was worth one bad game," he said of Leah's birth in early April.

"I got dropped (to Coburg) and the spears and the knives came out after the (Bulldogs) game from the media and everyone else pretty much. I could have gone back and sooked, but I worked hard to get back into the team."

Tambling believes his turning point came when he played a strong team role within a modest tally of 16 possessions in the club's first win of the season, against North Melbourne.

"I didn't get the numbers in that game, but I did a lot of the team things," he said. "I got praised from the team and the coaches about it and it really gave me some confidence."

So, too, did his work with a hypnotist, who channelled Tambling's energy into recalling what made him such an elite player when he was the most sought after kid in the Northern Territory in 2004.

Part of it was the fact he needed to approach the game in a fun, positive manner, something that didn't come naturally to him after what he had encountered in his first few years in the competition.

"I had to talk to someone about getting my head right, about sort of going back to believing that I was actually a good footballer," he said.

"I've gone and cleared my head, and now I think about things differently."

The other thing driving Tambling is the support on the home front from his partner, Amy, and the love of his kids, Tyson and 10-week-old Leah.

"The family life is amazing at the moment," he said. "It is definitely a good balance.

"If you don't have things right off the field, then it affects your footy and, vice versa."

Tambling was determined to not let his form this season impact on his family life, as it could have.

If the Kangaroos game was his turning point, clearly last round's best-afield effort against West Coast was the high mark of his career.

Playing as a roaming half-forward given licence by caretaker coach Jade Rawlings to traverse any part of Etihad Stadium he wanted, Tambling set the scene with 14 telling disposals in the first term.

He had a massive first half before being tagged.

"Definitely the first half of that game was the best footy I've shown," he said. "Hopefully, I can have some more games like that."

Tambling's long-term plan is to become a more consistent footballer. "I am playing more consistent footy now, which I am happy about," he said.

"I am working harder and I am just going out there and trying to have some fun.

"It's been a tough year, but we just want to go out and enjoy our footy again. When you are losing games, you can forget about how much fun footy can be.

"You can tell when someone kicks a goal that no one goes over to him, whereas now we have the whole backline running to them now.

"We've all got behind Jade 100 per cent, so hopefully we can win a few more games this year."

Tambling said he felt for Wallace. "I feel a bit for Terry because he drafted me and he supported me a lot," he said.

"I will definitely speak to him before the end of the season."

For now, though, he wants to get behind Rawlings and keep his career on an upward path.

He knows he has to improve and has to become more consistent, or the AFL career that means so much to him could be over when his contract expires at the end of next year.

"The club has been behind me since I got here and they have always backed me," Tambling said. "They have given me chances that I might not have got at other clubs.

"I'd love to remain here for the rest of my career."

It makes a change to hear Buddy getting bagged all week by commentators on the radio while Blingers is being praised. Franklin still has the runs on the board with a Coleman and a premiership medallion but thank gawd we don't have to hear all that Buddy vs Tambling crap ad nauseum anymore.

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.

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

the knighthood , just a bit of sarcasm

but really , RT has shown great signs not just on feild , but mentally.
he has had more pressure on him that any other kid in history and weathered the storm, he has helped the club enormously with indiginous programs and leadership.  only jack watts will probably feel the heat he has had in coming years

all of you who have spoken to ritchie as i have will know what i mean when when i say he is a genuine good bloke with a very mature head on his shouders

this kid not only has had to cope with the pressures of his drafting and development but also raising a young family, leaving his home and starting a new life. helping his younger brother with his issues on top of that.

he has copped it left right and centre and not many have given him credence for all his good work on and off the park.

ritchie has a head beyond his years on his shoulders and a work ethic that someone like deledio can learn from

its not uncanny that the kids that come from nothing and have to work their asses off to get what they want are the ones that become legends, and players born with a silver spoon(except hird) normally dont have that ethic and success

Ritchie must be our next captain as soon as next yr and i reckon sheeds will recognise this more than many

well done ritchie for never giving up

dont know about that. the guy will be a superstar, albeit a non consistent one.

Buddy is a splitting image of one Matthew Richardson, can kick 1.12 or 10.1.

I bet if he was in our team one Jack R will on target to kick about 50-70 goals this year.

Gonna be very interesting to see how Richie's career unfolds compared to Varcoe. Very similar players, not just in build and appearance but also the way they run and kick. Varcoe's got it pretty easy down at Geelong sitting on a wing, across HF or in a pocket whilst their a grade midfielders do the hard yards. Richie has it tough here and was thrown in the deep end pretty much from the go. His possession stats this season are very encouraging.

Tambling comes of age
06-07-2009 1:43 PM
Sportal

Richmond's 2009 season may have been a disaster but it could also be remembered as the year that Richard Tambling finally came of age.

Tambling, who has forever lived in the shadow of the man taken immediately after him in the 2004 national draft in Hawthorn full-forward Lance Franklin, is now re-paying the faith the Tigers have always shown in him.

Not only is Tambling actually playing far better than Franklin at present - after the reigning Coleman Medalist was held goalless for the first time in three years on the weekend - but is also outperforming the other top five draftees from that draft in team-mate Brett Deledio, Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead and the Bulldogs' Ryan Griffen.

I think one Ben Cousins may have also had some influence on young Tambo. The way he is handing off and then receiving it back at fall pace is quite familiar. If this is just one of the benefits of drafting BC then its been a truly win win situation for the RFC.
Title: Rolling the tambling dice (Age)
Post by: one-eyed on July 09, 2009, 02:28:22 AM
Rolling the tambling dice
Dan Silkstone | July 9, 2009

IN 2004, Richmond rolled the Tambling dice, selecting with draft pick No.4 a player ranked highly by many recruiters but one who has since become one of the most controversial in the club's long fallow period.

Most dice are six-sided - this one had just five. The first five players read out on draft day, if not the order, matched closely with the top prospects identified beforehand by most clubs. Those young players, in now oft-cited order, were Brett Deledio, Jarryd Roughead, Ryan Griffen, Tambling and Lance Franklin. Only pick six - the Bulldogs' play for Tom Williams - was considered a surprise.

For the longest time, that dice roll has looked a lot like snake eyes. Richmond has been roundly mocked for taking Tambling and Deledio, while ignoring nascent superstars in Franklin and Roughead. All the while, the Western Bulldogs have been let off the hook. Two top-six picks netted them Griffen and Williams. The early success of one has partly masked the misfortunes of the other.

Here's an idea, though: What happens if you take another look at that famous draft with 2009 form in mind?

Viewpoints form early, prejudices soon after, and Tambling's introduction to league football was uninspiring. But, five years after the most talked-about draft of the modern era, Tambling appears to have forgotten that he was supposed to be a mistake. The 22-year-old has unleashed a string of eye-catching performances in 2009 - even as his team has struggled.

Franklin meanwhile - among the best handful in the competition last year - has dulled a little, Roughead has hardly sizzled and while Deledio and Griffen have had their moments, few of them have been so grand as in seasons past.

If you calculated draft order on 2009 form alone, there's every chance Tambling might go at No.1. At very least an argument can be made.

How good has he been? This year, the often-maligned Tiger averages 22 disposals, seven marks and - importantly given the ability to run and carry he has recently displayed - four inside 50s per match. They are impressive numbers in a team that has lost many more matches than it has won. But something else happens when you look at more recent form.

In the past five weeks, he has been as good as anybody.

During that period, Tambling has averaged 27 disposals and eight marks, playing as a damaging wingman-cum-half-forward. Against West Coast in round 12 he was clearly best man on the field. Last week he tore Adelaide apart en route to a career-high 31 touches. He is finding space, finding the ball and using it to change the course of games.

Since round 10, Tambling ranks third in the league for marks and is also third for uncontested possessions. Not only is he getting much more of the ball, he is using it better - his disposal efficiency, at 79 per cent - is easily a career high.

It all seems to coincide rather conveniently with the change of coach at Punt Road and yet assistant coach Brian Royal - who has worked closely with Tambling - says there has been no change in what is being asked of the player under Jade Rawlings.

"His workrate has lifted significantly this year and he has a better understanding of how hard he has to work," Royal says. "His body has taken a bit longer to develop than some. He's got the licence to play as a wingman or half-forward and he has relished it. It just took time for him. This is his fifth year and it is all coming together, starting to click."

But sometimes players respond as much to subtle psychological cues as they do to team orders. Tambling is the ultimate confidence player, Royal agrees. "He feels a really strong part of the team now, like he belongs in the side," he says. "He has got belief now, some players have that straight away and some take a little bit longer."

Royal says the burden of being in THAT draft has been difficult and the public opprobrium of Tiger fans has not helped. You could see these things in the past, just watching the hesitancy with which he played. Too often the fear of making a mistake overrode the desire to take the game on. The mistake was duly made.

"Richard Tambling did not pick himself at No.4, the Richmond Football Club did. People don't understand the pressure that put on Richard was quite enormous," Royal says. "It can be a burden and I know it has been. Those external pressures were enormous."

Tambling is up this year. Others are a little down. This speaks to the vagaries of both team and individual form as well as injury, but also to the different rate at which young men mature. It is hard in AFL football to play five consecutive seasons in top form. Try to think of those who have done it in the past half-decade: Chris Judd definitely. Jonathan Brown, maybe. Gary Ablett? Probably not.

At different points in that period, each of the 2004 top five has shone. If you had reset the draft order after just 12 months, Deledio would have more than justified his top selection. The No.1 pick lit up season 2005, helping himself to the Rising Star award and showing off blistering pace. Since then he has been steady, though never the dominant midfielder he was drafted to be. Cameos up forward and in defence were tried before he found form last year and snagged the Tigers' best and fairest. But in 2009, Deledio has slipped a little. His average disposals are down, as are goals per game, scoring assists and marks.

Early on, Griffen was probably tracking second-best. He finished second in the 2005 rising star and was hailed as an emerging gun. In 2007, he struck injury trouble: first a knee problem, then a twisted bowel. As he moved from defence into the midfield he has sometimes sparkled while at others frustrating Bulldog fans with his inconsistency. He is yet to stamp himself as an elite midfielder. In a team that racks up plenty of touches with a share-and-carry style, last weekend's win against Hawthorn was his biggest tally in five years: 31 disposals.

When you talk about Franklin and Roughead, normal rules don't quite apply. Both - like their team - appear to have dropped off this year. Neither looks the game-breaking threat he was in 2008. And yet, both have still kicked plenty of goals. One does not imagine Hawthorn would wish to trade them for anybody. And they have a premiership.

Tambling, Deledio and Griffen make an interesting comparison. All play sometimes in the midfield and yet none are top-line onballers in the traditional sense. They get less of the ball than the likes of Ablett, Judd, Dane Swan or Sam Mitchell. It took four years for Deledio to nail his first 30-plus possession game (surely a barometer for key midfielders). Tambling and Griffen both snared 31 disposals last weekend. In both cases it was a career high.

Royal agrees that Tambling is probably shading the other four in 2009 but notes it is his fifth year and he has plenty of catching up to do. "Deledio has a best and fairest, Franklin has a premiership and a Coleman medal, Roughead and Griffen have had very good periods," he says. "They go up and down at different times, that's just football."

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.

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.

I agree wayne. As soon ashe gets the ball you know he will do something positive with it. Great decision maker, excellent execution and is starting to get the same trait as all stars - he seems to have more time.

Blinga is a confidence player and always has been. When he first came onto the scene and everyone was touting him as the new player most likely to win the rising star it was because he had no fear. After years of Buddy comparisons he started to think he would never be good enough but now he is playing for himself once again he is starting to enjoy and succeed once again.

It would be ironic if in years to come that the media acknowledge Bling as the best player in the top five when their careers wrap up. The way he is playing this year that is a distinct possibility.

I love the way Tambling has suddenly become 'noticed' by a large proportion of the football world, including many Richmond supporters.  Here's the thing - he has been getting better every single year he has played and has improved this year by as much as last year and as much as the year before.  Those that didn't condemn him without a fair trial aren't surprised by any of this.
Title: Re: Richie Tambling threads [merged]
Post by: mightytiges on July 21, 2009, 11:51:41 PM
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.

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

maybe he wants to assist in rounding out the young mans game lol

Wallace on SEN earlier today was asked about Richie visiting a hypnotist and he said up till then Richie was having trouble coping with outside factors (inferring the comparisons with Buddy most likely). Richie would be turning up to games with these external things on his mind and it wasn't helping his footy. He's been playing very well ever since he visited the hypnotist.

Richard Tambling
Details:
Club: Southern Districts/Northern Territory
DOB: 12 September 1986 Hgt: 181cm Wgt: 74kg
Position: Onballer/Half forward flank
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
AIS/AFL Academy 2001
Allan McLean Medal 2002 (best player in Division 2 of Under 16's Carnival)
Northern Territory 2002, 2003, 2004 (Captain)
H.G Harrison Medal 2004 (best player in Division 2 of Under 18's Carnival)
All Australian 2004
MVP of Northern Territory 2004
National Draft Camp 2004

Strengths: Tambling is football’s version of the Human Highlight Reel. An extremely exciting onballer and flanker, he has blistering pace and is capable of the extraordinary. He has the ability to tear a game apart with his brilliant skills, running and ability to kick impossible goals. He has a big leap on him and is very agile.

Tambling is a good leader and was captain of the NT side in the recent carnival. He works very hard defensively, his tackling and smothering is a real feature. His hands are extremely clean and he can be damaging at the stoppages.

Weaknesses: Only weighs 68kg and may take time to put on the bulk required to play at AFL level. Can tend to concentrate on winning the football and not his direct opponent.

Footydraft.com comment: This kid is truly a pleasure to watch. He is already been called the best Aboriginal player of all time, which I think is a bit over the top, but he is going to take the league by storm in time with his extraordinary ability.

What can we say about Richie.

We cant go on like this and let players like him just roll around at the back of packs while others like Nahas, Tuck etc etc get in there and lay the hard tackles.

TAMBLING IS A PRETENDER, ALWAYS HAS BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE.

As a fully paid member i cant stand to watch this bloke refuse to get in there and protect his mates who have the ball.

He will never win us a game, has hardly played a full 4 quarters since he come over and we need to let him go NOW

He has currency now which is why i say now is the time to act, but that is getting eaten up as the weeks go by.

Dimma likes players that get in there like Nahas and Edwards did today. Tambling never does it and his skills are woeful.

Biggest problem i have with him is his leg speed. He was recruited because of his speed.  :banghead :banghead

WHAT SPEED?????? He looks slow and dissinterested. Rarely shows emotion and if i was coaching him i would slap a rocket up his arse and say put up or find another club.

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.

Too inconsistent
Half hearted
Disinterested
Lazy

I don't want to hear excuses like he Aborigine and he needs time to settle and what not injuries etc. Can't keep protecting him from that. If you play every week and you had a slightly interrupted pre season and its rd 7 that can't be beneficial for both the player and the club. Needed the blowtorch on him three years ago when he got dropped after the Hawks game but was handled too carefully.

Agree Daniel enough excuses on him.

Has done nothing in his 100 or so games should be tearing up the comp now.

Only thing of note to me I remember he did well that was classy was the Brisbane game in 2008 at the Dome that 50 metre pass to Bowden who kicked the winning goal.

Highlights few and far between.

Want this kid to succeed but wanting him to succeed and reality are two entirely different things. Sadly he is too deficient in too many areas.

Trade him this year while we can get something worthwhile and valuable. That's all that's left. He has had his chance.

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.

WAT in a good very good side he probably will be as he is a fairly good passenger at times but in all his time here we have been anything but a good or very good side.

Would like to see him succeed but the quality of a player is how good he is in a bad side. look at Martin in 6 games compared to Tambo. I think the difference in the two boys is stark. Tambo struggles here as if you are lazy in a poor side you get exposed if you are lazy in a good or very good side you can get accomodated whilst the side is winning.

sorry pal your wrong. Petrified had currency and we kept him till the end and got nothing.

tambling is as close to a first/early second round as we are going to get. They need a player like him up there to promote them and wll take him in a heartbeat.

HOW MANY FLANKERS WITH NO DEFENSIVE SKILLS CAN A CLUB HAVE???  sick to death of him and his lacklustre efforts on field.

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.

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.

Ok he's 22 or 23 in his sixth season of AFL footy. I am not having a go at anybody but there are some here who want to trade or delist kids in their 2nd or 3rd seasons and in some cases fair enough too, but Tambling has been here 6 seasons. That's more than enough time to show something substantial. I feel we should stop living in the hope that he might amount to something for us because he was taken at pick 4. Cut our losses and trade him. Accept we got another pick wrong under a previous administration and move on. I'd take a pick between 20-30. Sure I would. Kid won't make it at Tigerland.

we need to trade only with GC and thats it.

They would be the only ones to possibly throw us a 1st/2nd rounder in the draft. Top 4 clubs would only offer up a 3rd rounder

Some ask why him well its simple. He has currency and  losing him would be absolute no big deal to our club.

There'll be talent later there if you know what you are looking for WAT. Just look at Nason and Webberley as a few examples. I'd be prepared to take the chance for the future. If he ends up being good for someone else good luck to him and them but I just feel the future plans of the club and here they are headed far outweigh keeping Richie for another two years whilst we still struggle on field with our rebuild which by then may mean he is worthless to others due to his inability to excel in a struggling side as us. Compromised drafts or not over the next two years I feel he has to go. The more he stays with us from this season onwards the less his value will be.
Title: Re: Tambling......We have to let him go

Really don't want to see him go and don't think he deserves to be traded but if it's in the best interest of the club moving forward and we are rewarded with adequate compensation then so be it. Pick 20-30 in this draft IMHO is not adequate compensation in a comprimised draft.

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.

Don't agree with you on Rodan and we recieved picks too late for what we should have got for Ottens IMHO. Both players have had an impact in their respective teams and both have played in Premierships such is their worth to their clubs. You can say it for the 10 millionth time and thats fine but I dont agree.

Fiora was ruined by Richmond by the time he left it was too late he was fully infected and beyond repair. 
It seems Rodan may not have been so infected.

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.

Only thing with this year's draft Pope is that the normal 'rules' may not apply.  With the new GC club holding so many good picks they will be in a unique position to spend these picks for established players (which they will need).  That might possibly go either of 2 ways - artificially inflating the price of trades or it could lead to a glut of available players on the market.  The biggest unknown is how each club is going to view and react this year - will there be a glut or will clubs jealously guard their existing lower picks.  My gut feel is that there will be an 'open season' in which a very large number of better than average/normal players are up for trade and that in itself might open up many advantages for the shrewd clubs.  Maybe some of this year's 'gems' might be in the players up for trade and not in the draft itself so maybe a Tambling or Foley might get above the odds in a trade or conversely we might get some good experience from elsewhere at a bargain basement price.  Will be a very interesting trade week this year.

Don't agree with you on Rodan and we recieved picks too late for what we should have got for Ottens IMHO. Both players have had an impact in their respective teams and both have played in Premierships such is their worth to their clubs. You can say it for the 10 millionth time and thats fine but I dont agree.
[/quote]

We got picks 12 and 16 in the 2004 draft, which added to picks 1,4, and 20, gave us five picks in the top 20. In my opinion,12 and 16 would have been more than adequate compensation for Ottens if we'd utilised them properly. But we stupidly chose Danny Meyer with pick 12, while Melbourne snapped up Matthew Bate, who we should have taken, with pick 13.
We threw away pick 16 on a lemon like Pattison too. The less said about pick 4 the better, as this issue has been discussed a million times since we made that particular blunder.
But the time has come to accept  the fact that we got it wrong and move Tambling on.He has proven after 101 games (at least four of them any good) that he has no future at Richmond. But if we act quickly, we MAY be able to con another club like GC17, that he's worth a 2nd round pick. Personally, anything under 50 would be a massive upgrade.

Picks 12 and 16 for a bloke recovering from back surgery is a pretty good deal. It's what we did those picks that was the error.

It took ottens 2 seasons to start showing any real form at Geelong, as you would expect after serious surgery.

As for Rodan, Richmond would never have got out of him what Port have. Good luck to them and him.

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.

Agree Daniel.

add to our already acquired (lets be honest) pick 4 and 29 a pick 20-25 and we're heading in the right direction with our list management.

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

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

i thought you had a clue till i read that you think Richie is quick. my ooh my some on here really cant see through those glasses.

Richie is a negative player therefore he deserves all the criticism he gets. How you think he is improving by standing at the back of packs or going for the look at me one handed marks or grabs of the footy is beyond me.

We will get something descent for him, a second rounder im sure of it. Thats if we act now. If not then he will go down in the same history books at Petrified, Schulz etc etc

It's a crying shame that such a nice bloke gets picked up by the worst club and loses all confidence in himself.
I hope he gets a trade to another club and does well for himself and his family.

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.

Agree with Magic's comments. This year is make or break for him. I think he has never got over the Franklin situation. I believe if he does not pick up this year we will have no alternative but to try and trade him.

Hardly unbiased, you might find the WP is on Richies Card Christmas list ;) :shh

Just goes to show what you know (very little) I am not on his Xmas card list

Another cheap shot  >:(

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

tony-montana, the comment about bias wasn't being directed at you or your post :thumbsup

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.

I am not sure MM because it wasn't in the Xmas card I supposedly get ;D

Seriously, though I don't know much about post surgery except he still gets a bit sore after games and that he didn't start running properly (sprints & long distance) until after Xmas . But pre-surgery the actually compartment syndrome was a really bad case.

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.

with regards to this player i am calling it how i see it.

we would be better off with a second round pick than Ritchie at our club.

he is a downhill skier and is only interested in cheap possy's at the back of packs.That vision on Sunday night when absolute rubbish not to mention his look at me attempts at a one handed grab of the footy. When was the last time you saw him get in there and get the hard ball and really give a good bump to the opposition. He is a shy little timid girl out there. We dont need players like that.

everyone bagged Bowden for his cheap possy's well watch Ritchie's game and see what he does. He has played 100 games and i can guarantee he didnt deserve a spot in the team for at least 50 of em.

Post by: Go Richo 12 on May 11, 2010, 09:23:09 AM
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

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!

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!

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 stuff 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 have never been a follower of Tambling. I have just never seen what other do in him.
And the longer he is with us the more I have a dislikeing to the way he plays.
I would like to not see him with us next year, and I don't care if he turns out to be a gun for another team.
Just will show that he didn't have his heart in the right place while with us.
So I will be more than happy to hold the door open for him to walk out.
We have put a lot of effort into him and he has really shown very little in return.

i understand you have issues understanding posts so ill repeat.

10 players you think should be traded ahead of tambling will not deliver us a possible second rounder at the draft table, maybe higher if GC17 dont have a marquee player.

THATS MY WHOLE POINT. TAMBLING HAS CURRENCY MANY OTHERS DONT. His currency is running dry after performances like he has dished out this year.

You ask North how they feel about Daniel Wells. Ask them if they would've rather he was traded away?

Post by: camboon on May 11, 2010, 03:08:10 PM
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).

if he is struggling with fitness and still getting a game then we are reverting back to our old ways in playing guys who aren't 100%.

cross the white line you are fit, excuses for him or anyone are not acceptable.

Do i think we would get a good selection. well yeah i do. GC need some sort of marketing and he aint the answer but its better than getting no one. They have picks to spare and we should look at eying off those picks.

we have been experimenting with Ritchie's game style in all 100 games he has played so far and apart from last year he has hardly set the world on fire.

David King on 3aw talking about Tambling......

What you see now from Richie is what you'll get. Doesn't believe he'll ever be an elite midfield. Asked him to be something he isn't. He's just a pinchhitting forward pocket at est. That's what he would be at Geelong and he'd not be one of their marquee players. Similar role to Stokes/Byrnes. Not going to be the player we thought he would be.

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.
Title: Re: Tambling......We have to let him go
Post by: Ox on May 12, 2010, 04:35:47 PM
I don' think he fooled anyone.
Just unfortunate to be borderline prodigious talent and unable to make the transition to the expected level of genius.
As someone already kind of said - could fulfill a valuable role at a club up and running but not the messiah of our current plague.
There are others who i would release first and unless an outstanding offer is put on the table from GC or WS i can't see clubs clamoring to bid for his services.

100% correct.

got more to do with application with him. I actually dont think he works hard enough out there.

Everyone bags Lids well guess what if Ritchie was half the player lids was we would be doing allright.

Ill tell you something else Bush, Tambling has only ever had over 30 possy's in his career, once. Last year he kicked only 8 goals.

Even last year his best year some say he only got over 20 possy's in about 10 games out of a possible 22. His best games last year were against Freo, WCE and North. He goes missing like his mate Wells against the big boys.

It baffles me how some want Lids gone. No Lids no future for us. FACT!!
No Tambling=Same result for the RFC. He makes no difference to our team at all. Maybe if Lids had guys like Tambling blocking for him he would be the match winner we all want him to be. 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 seats

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

well isnt that interesting, out of contract end of year. Glad to hear it!!

I would be very surprised if Dimma moves to sign Tambling up as quick as he did for Martin. Put him up for sale and if nothing bites Frankston pines will take him.

Now WP i was referring to the vision on Sunday but our Ritchie was doing similar acts last year. He looks affraid out there very timid to even go near the man and give him a good bump. Nahas has more balls than Tambling. He is very down on confidence, always has been from day one. Whenever our man runs toward the goal to take a shot IMO he looks to be always second guessing himself.

He seems to have put on a bit of size well why isnt he making use of that body in the packs. No not Ritchie he  is too concerned about the one handed look at me grabs of the footy from the ground or one handed attempts at marking. :banghead :banghead

Tambling is not a midfielder and no way on earth is he a forward. He should be played in the back half and stay there till his currency builds up. If we dont get a second rounder or better then i agree he stays but we pay to watch footballers not dime a dozen half bank flankers who may or may not turn out to be what we want. We as a football side have too many of the same players and no variety.

Excellent post Daniel. :thumbsup

Too true about us having to many similar types. I can't understand how we had blokes like Edwards Tambling Polo all in the same side and all playing the same type of role off HB. No variety and no element of surprise.
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.

My take on Tambling is that he is an elite overhead make (brilliant grab) but very poor below his knees (constantly fumbles). I'd play him as a Mark Williams leading full forward. It's not like anyone else is beating down the door for the position.

Looking that way unfortunately.
The back end of this season will tell us plenty about Richard Tambling's future at Tigerland one feels.
I can only hope it's injury holding him back and he starts playing well or he's likely elsewhere.

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.

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

Enough of the excuses.

He's koori. He'll learn. He's young. He's settling in Melbourne with a young family. He's injured.

Enough I have heard them all. If he was a Matt White or a Tom Hislop we would not even bother with the excuses. If he was not a pick 4 we would not say boo we'd say lets get what we can for him and run.

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.

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.

I really wished Tambling could take the next step. Too hard for him and not upto scratch. 100 game players should be making an impact on games like today not hoping to make an impact.

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.

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

well we cant afford to take passengers till they turn 23, 25 or anything really. They either put up or get lost. Ooh and Infamy you cross the white line your fit to play, absolutely no excuses.

As i have said before half hearted attempts have got nothing to do with fitness, its played between your ears.

This bloke has serious issues and IMO and  does not belong on a football field for our club. The longer GC17 cant get their 2 or 3 players the better it is for us with the likes of this spud.

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

Find one post where i have said its okay because a player is returning from injury

Now im sorry that is the way it is champ.

Most on here applaud the new RFC stance on players not playing if they are not 100% well what is it in Ritchie's case. Fit or not?

recovering or fit?

IMO HE IS A PROTECTED SPECIE OF THE RFC BEACUSE OF THE FEAR HIS OFF FIELD ISSUES MAY RETURN.

he cant surely be picked on form

did i like ritchie's attack on the ball and goal. yes of course. did i like his 6 tackles today or whatever it was. yes.

Do i think he fills a need in our team- NO.

He has currency and his a HFF at best and last time i checked we have plenty there to go around who i would select before him.

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.

No he wasn't the worst but he is is consistently average.

Didnt like nahas game at all today. :thumbsup

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.

It's not like we have anyone knocking the door down at Coburg to take his spot anyway. Clearly the match commitee value his work even at under 100% fitness over anyone at Coburg can offer at full health. Prior to this year and the surgury he was constantly improving year on year. He has a good reason for his drop off and we should allow him to stick around to see how he is contributing at full fitness. We need as many mature bodies as we can get as well.

Even if he stays another year, his trade value will be far higher if he's playing well at full health than to trade him when he's below his best.

AFL player pool is similar to the stock market.

Tambling currency or worth isn't very high right now. Like a stock that's lost a lot of money do you:

A) Try and salvage a return of next to nothing in fear of losing everything

or

B) Hold onto your stocks as there is a chance the stock price will rise to a respectable level over time.

I think I'd be choosing B.

Blings stock is down we'd get maybe a 3rd rounder at best a 2nd rounder. In a diluted draft holding onto Bling would be the best way forward IMO.

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.

he is rated by some clubs hence the tag in some games but the point with Ritchie is he has gone backwards.

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.

I think its best to look at him as not much more than a average player then its easier to accept his lackluster efforts in games

The only thing that will save him is the GC17 introduction

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?

Oh ffs, let it go, who after Tambling are you going to bag, then who after that, you are the type of person that would bag players in a GF winning side. Tambling will be an asset to this club once we actually have players around hime that can support his and our style of play.

Edwards has turned the corner after how many wasted years?? get the oven heated up and the sauce ready, you have a hell of a lot of eating ahead of you!!

worked really really hard tonight and got better as the game wore on, but farrrrrk me he fumbles a lot!
 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.

For those couple of fumbles he also had some fantastic clean takes under pressure down back.

Turnover merchant! Tries incredibly hard, but cannot hit a target to save his life. Spend him to Coburg to give him some confidence and to teach him to get and use the pill. Couldn't believe in the last quarter he took a mark from a kickout and wouldn't (or didn't have the confidence) to take on McEvoy who was on the mark. Says it all from my perspective.
Title: Re: Tambling......We have to let him go
Post by: Infamy on June 05, 2010, 12:56:07 AM
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.

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.

Simply, isnt a first round draft pick. He is neither here or there as a player.
If he doesnt play, we dont miss him, if he does play, he cant put his imprint on a game.

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.

the sooner people start to realise he aint a match winner we had all hoped the better we can deal with him as a player.

He is and will be another average player who must be traded

I think you will find he had 9 or 10 in round 1 and has had a couple of 7-8 tackle games this season

I know stats don't mean everything but I did watch the game and he did well, the stats just help prove it.
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.
Now saying that if you look at Richie, imo he makes a lot of mistakes for very little out put. Just my opinion.

Now i'm not sure about a lot of you poster but i can change my mind on a player over 3 to 4 weeks of watching them weather it be good or bad. Take a look at Edwards, at the start of the year i thought he was a complete spud and would have happly run him over in my car if i had of seen him crossing the road but now i think he is getting there. I'm still not completelly sold on him but have definatelly changed my mind on him. When Edwards does his good stuff it's really good but he is very light and turns te ball over alot but has a lot of up sides.

Now like a lot on here i am happy to be wrong on Richie but even last year when he was at his best i never really changed my mind on him, he did some really nice things, that most of us tigers supporters want to see him do but he curtainly still made plenty mistakes. I think we all were just really please to see him actually contribute to the side rather than him playing really well.

I hope for his sake and the RFC sake he can turn it around in the last half of the year, i think he has had long enough.  :gotigers

But he is an established player.
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.
he had an operation and his preseason was badly interrupted so you could forgive him being poor the first half of the season.
he needs to show in the run home that the run of 14 games last yr is no flash in the pan.

at the end of last yr i rated him borderline, core list, below standard. being generous i placed him in the core list category but needing to establish himself further by continuing on with the decent form. atm hes slipped back to below standard his season to date has ranged from deplorable to ordinary but like i said he has a legit excuse with the operation and poor preseason. there will be no such forgiveness in the back half of the season.

one criticism has been his inability to carry injury and the gap between good and bad is still a chasm. it seems if all is not perfect he cant play.

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 rarely runs at full pace, mainly around in circles, and only in the last quarter when the game was well and truly over did i see he actually tried. I watched him closely and it was comedy at its best he was in our F50 with his arms flapping about demanding the ball. The problem was he wasn't running in to space he was running directly into the area that Hamish was occupying. He has no idea where to stand anymore.

Send him on his way and out of our club. His football apart from 6 weeks last year have been rubbish since 2005. Very average football at best. Forget about pick 4 he would barely get picked up at pick 50.

Even when we win he contributes zero today was his worst game for our club in 5 years.

Beat me to it WP. He has to be dropped, I can't handle anothe bronx cheers when he gets his 5th touch in the final quarter. Happens to often.

Heard a good point today that "If Blings performances were inside a Rookie or 3rd or 4th round pick he'd probably have been let go 2-3 years ago. He continually gets picked on the basis he was picked high in the draft and outputs nothing. Time to own up say we got the pick wrong and turn Tambling into a Ryan Gamble, David Armitage etc."

I've defended Bling as much as I can but I dont have the energy anymore, his output is not AFL standard and I think 6 years into the system thats beyond unacceptable.

Im sorry Bling but I think you may have played your last game for Richmond and it may be the best thing for both parties.

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  :(

I'd like us to flirt with a straight trade with Tambling for maybe Ryan Gamble, David Armitage. Gamble would be good help up forward and Armitage would be a good replacement for Tuck when Tuck retires and we keep our inside mids numbers consistant.

Both players not in clubs best 22 and young enough to be apart of our "transition period"

Hardwick refused to single out onballer Richard Tambling, who finished with 11 touches yesterday, did not have a possession in the second term, and received Bronx cheers at one stage.

''We probably had about 21 other blokes in that category to be honest,'' he said. ''Ritchie didn't have a great day, but neither did a number of other players from our point of view.''

Can't excuse injuries on that effort yesterday and a few others this season.

Trade the kid to another club. Needs to be at a successful club as a fwd player in the Stokes mould. Is

nowhere at Punt Rd unfortunantely. At 6 seasons and over 100 games there is no consistency. Trade.

Post by: DCrane on July 19, 2010, 08:32:52 PM
----------SUPPORT MY 42 TIMES CAMPAIGN----------------------


The only concern about sending Richie to Coburg to me is about damaging his brand and hence his trade value as a footballer. So my idea is this; Richie has 7 games left for the tigers, this means that he will accumulate 42 more possessions for Richmond. On each of these 42 occasions, we should all grin widely (make sure you use your teeth whitener before the game!), clap loudly and cheer as if you were cheering us home for the 1980 flag!

Come on everyone, grit your teeth, it's only 42 more times. We can do it. If we stick together, all of us, we can get a 2nd round pick for Richie.

I'll start the "Don't Trade Tambling to Gold Coast" facebook page and the fools will think we want to keep him for his 'defensive work', hahaha. Then our campaign will be complete.

C'mon the Tigers

in 100 games of footy he would only have got over 20 possy's no more than a dozen games.

He must be traded. Those who think we will get a 2nd rounder in this draft are dreaming but a 3rd rounder is a good possiblity. Eagles, port can take him.

if we want clowns playing for us then we will keep Tambling come seasons end. Time to stop feeling sorry for him as im sure people down at Punt Road do. He is paid to do a job and to date he is happy to take our clubs money but most times when he crosses the white line he produces absolute rubbish like Saturday.

I think Richie has incurable Wallace-itis.

Guys like Deledio, Newman, Riewoldt have been cured, but Richie is riddled with it.

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.
The difference from last year to this year is significant enough for me to think that it can't just be mental thing.


wow i was 5 off the mark. How could i be so wrong?

17 out of 105 afl games for a midfielder...go figure.

Nason stats put Tambling to shame
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)

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.

The primary reason for Richie going so high in the draft was his blistering pace at U/18 level. I remember him playing his first NAB Cup game, arching his back, burning off a couple of players and kicking a goal from around the 50. I thought "Geez, what have we got here?"

For whatever reason, he just doesn't have that pace any more. Pity.

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.

in 100 games of footy he would only have got over 20 possy's no more than a dozen games.
17 actually, he had 12 in 2009 alone, including 31 against Adelaide

wow a whole 17? thats huge  :lol

Nason has a bigger impact on games and in the contest in his first season than tambling does in his 6th... just embarrassing. Not to mention he covers a heap more ground than him.

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

Agreed Ritchie's form has been terrible this year! I also think he is not fit for some reason or other! However, to call someone weak as poo is going a bit too far as i believe it takes guts just to step out and play at any level, let alone AFL! He may not be getting a kick but we should still treat him with some respect!

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.

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.

thats for making my point even more valid.

goals are stats and vice versa whats wrong with you. we are talking about a guy who has played 15 games and yes his stats this year have had more of an impact on our team than feel sorry for me Ritchie Tambling. Im sure 30000 of the crowd at the MCG who gave Tambling the Bronx cheers will agree with me too..

Nason a 15 game veteran vrs a 105 game player in Tambling and here we have Infamy trying to compare their stats this year. Blind Freddy can see Nason has had more of an impact on this team this year that Tambling

Okay, here you go, DCrane. I'll go no further than the 1st quarter:
(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".

its not an argument its a fact. At pick 4 or pick 40 he apart from last year 8 games has under delivered in all aspects of his game.

If we are not careful we can hold onto him till he is worthless on the open market. See Schulz and Petrified.

Does he go in hard? Yes at times yes but his circus acts are the real worry. He reminds of those umpires just flapping his arms around in
 the air demanding the ball but when he does get it he does nothing with it.

 Knowing where to stand and more importantly where to run. Geez he runs directly near opposition players instead of making space.

THE BIGGEST WORRY IS THIS. HE WAS RECRUITED AS A RUNNING QUICK MIDFIELDER NOW IF HE IS FAST THEN I AM JAPANESE.

he would have to be one the slowest runners on our list. Its either that or he doesnt try hard enough. you tell me which is it?

now again X what has Dimma asked of him this year that he is delivering.

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. This is a cut throat business and a player in his 6th season who has far from established himself cannot afford to be dishing out these performances on a regular basis

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!
Although you, and others, have every right to believe he should be moved on i just think some posters are voicing this opinion (you are not one of them) and getting a little personal purely out of frustration at him not living up to expectations that a high pick carry! I mean calling him weak as pee is a little over the top considering most people would soil their pants at the sight of some bloke steaming toward them on the AFL footy field!
I think the fact that most other clubs rated him very highly and yet he has not lived up to it is more indicative of our failure to develop players in the past! This group can add Polo, Rance, Jon (although in reality he was never going to make it!) to its ranks!

Thanks Gordon, that's great that he did that. I'm serious, I must have missed the first one but ok I do remember the 2nd. It would be even better if he went for a hard ball and won it. If you go in for a hard ball, and don't win it, then you are no better than say a Tim Fleming.
Jake King can put his head under a pack too. I wonder if he will get 105 games.
Most of Tambling's games have not been earnt. Putting his head under a pack twice per quarter isn't what most people would call 'going in hard' btw.It's merely looking like you are doing work so you can collect your pay (and that is an area that I am highly qualified to comment on)

Downlow 2010 - Jason Akermanis rates the players who have gone missing in 2010

    * Jason Akermanis
    * From: Herald Sun
    * August 04, 2010


Jason Akermanis gives his votes on the players who have gone missing this year.

Footballing form is a mysterious beast.

No one has seen form walking down the street and stopped to ask questions, yet we all seem to know what it is.

And I'm sure some very capable players would love to know just where their form has gone this year.

What is going on with Dean Cox, Brendan Fevola, Richard Tambling, Justin Koschitzke, Nathan Bock, Mitch Clark, Ryan O'Keefe, Brett Kirk and Justin Sherman?

RICHARD TAMBLING, Richmond

HE has been a good enough player for a very short time.

Once he freed his mind last year, his form started to resemble the output of the highly rated junior he once was.

Consistency is the best currency in this sport.

While I love his dash, his foot skills are only OK if there is running pressure around him.

With time and space he can look good, but the faster he has to run then kick, the more his short, medium and long kicks became turnovers.

Moore would be a better option than Thursfield in that back 6.  With Moore in, there would be a hell of a lot of run generated from that backline - not enough height maybe but stacks of run and carry.

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?

Why do you think they are related?

Compartment Syndrome is a circulation problem and this hip thing is a joint problem - don't think you can say they are related
Title: Re: Richie Tambling threads [merged]
Post by: Penelope on August 23, 2010, 09:09:16 AM
The foot bones conected to the leg bone, the leg bone's conected to the ..... dem bones dem bones...
:)

In all seriousness, when a part of the muscular/skeletal is not fully right, it often puts strain either directly or indirectly on other parts of the body. For instance it's well known that is often a link between hamstring problems and back problems.

When the sooky, lesser Riewoldt tore his hamstring, I dont think it's a coincidence that he was trying to play on with an ankle that badly injured that he couldn't kick.

With Tambling I dont know for sure that they are related, but it is an educated guess that they are. The compartment sydrome severley hampers the calf muscles ability to expand and contract, as does the surgery, which must put some sort of strain on other parts of the system.

To me the question is, was the compartment sydrome caused by a problem in the hips, or is the problem in the hips caused by the compartment syndrome, or the surgery, or is there another as yet undiagnosed problem that has led to both these issues?

At times this year I thought it was curtains for Ritchie until learning about the injuries and interrupted pre season. Upon reflection, he could not possibly be fit at any stage of this year.
Prior to this year,  he had made steady progress every year since his debut.
Most people rated his '09 ahead of Buddys, people have short memories.
The game against the Eagles last year was incredible, he has the talent, needs the motor and confidence to have a big impact in 2011.
If injury free, i'd expect a significant improvement on this year and a step up from '09.

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.

 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

I'm okay with it. I don't think we'll ever class him in the elite bracket like a lot of us expected when he was drafted but I liked his best footy and if he can return to that he'll be a good player for us.

He clearly wasn't suited to the forward line and not many of us knew a great deal about his injury issues so there's every chance he'll come good just yet. Some players take a bit longer than others.

Firstly Taylor plays a completely different position to Tambling so not sure of you you are comparing them
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

If Richi does this, if Richi does that..... To many if's and buts for a number 4 pick that has been at the club for 6 years.
A really bad decission by the RFC IMO.
We don't even know where to play him after 6 years.
I will go on record and tell you he will never be more than a bloke we all make excusses for.
I'm just hope we trade him out for anything better than pick 40. That is where he is at IMO.

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.

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.

I think Tambo and McGaune are just average AFL standard footballers.  Neither are great but in a team that finished 2nd bottom neither are in our bottom 12.  So they will stay, both of them and maybe both will have good years and play some good footy.

Now is not the time to be chucking out our AFL standard players, we have too many poor players, retirees and young unknowns.  As I have pointed out before, next year we will be quite possibly along with Essendon the most inexperienced list in the competition.  Though I haven't looked at the Weagles lately.  We cant throw away mid tier players, who admittedly wouldn't make Geelongs 22, just yet.  Once the kids come on then we can.

i dont fault the voting system im just saying because you finish in the top 5 doesnt make you a good player. No way.

i thought Schulz was top 10 once or twice. My mistake. How stupid of me not to look it up.

Dean Polo, Petrified and Raines all top 5 in some years and good ol Patrick Bowden finished top 10 once.

Best and fairest is for that year and that year only. Doesnt mean poo if you cant back it up as Tambling, Mcguane & Mclovin  have proven time and time again.

He admitted the Buddy thing got to him also.

Blingers plays his best footy when he goes the first option when he has the footy and leaves using his bursts of speed for defensive efforts and to get to the pill. Earlier this year however he got into the bad habit of floating near the contest without really contesting and when he did get the ball he'd gather it running in the opposite direction we'd be kicking towards and he'd do a u-turn slowing down our play of the ball.

deledio was protected by wallace  was hand gifted 1 nearly 2 b and f's, one was definitely richos!!!!!!
deledios best yr by a mile was this yr, tambling has been plagued by injuries  and was coached poohouse bywallace

look at jackson, under wallace he was going no where, under hardwick he is vital

king another and even jack has blossomed under dimma

once tambling is over his unjuries he will thrive playing in a team that has a coach!!!

Ahh I don't think its too harsh to expect that after 7 years a player on the list with talent should be able to cement his spot in the best 22 and perform consistently.

If he fails to do so in these next 2 years he's in strife. I like Tambling but you can't carry him for more than 3 contract deals hoping for him to make it.

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?
Can slops turn his disposals and decision making around ala King?  He isn't short on courage and he does win his own pill.
Roberts was always a project with some flare, you have to take some punts, sometimes they turn up a James Hird.  I still think he could be a good player if he wasn't so home sick.  The others have finished up one way or another so no worries there.

i agree it was a louzy effort but he was playing poor. After all he is a good family and a nice bloke man unlike some idiots up north.
Those things should be reserved only for playing the Blues.

Honestly though he shouldnt let that or anything get to him. I wish we did our research properly before recruiting him because football is played between your ears and his lack of mental toughness would've come out

There is still room for a pure full back in the game IMO. Thursty is fast and good at punching the ball.I rate him higher than McGaune, and he is a good 4 years younger than Moore.He had a knee reco when he was playing very well on st kilda captian a few years ago which was not going to help. Thursfeild, Tambling, Deledio is not too bad a result from 2004 if the first two can continue to develop. Mitch Morton was rated as a top 10 pick in th draft pool but went to WCE F/S


other clubs did not do that well out of the 2004 draft;

2 31 Jarred Moore Dandenong Stingrays Sydney Swans
3 47 David Spriggs Geelong Sydney Swans

Thursfield is not bad

he is just a stopper like presti no more no less just not as good as presti and never will be
presti has better genes
Presti has still managed to play 233 games over 15 seasons, not bad for a stopper

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.

dont write blingers off yet

next yr this time u will all be kneeling for him and begging for his man juice

ramps, next year u will say, x u were right

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.

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

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. No question!!

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.
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.

The only thing with the height Al is that Thursty is already giving away 2cm so where Presti is 193cm and can theoretically (and has proven in reality) 'match' an opponent of 195-6cm, Will gives the same player about 4-5cm head start and that is a fair bit, especially when the reach difference would be generally relative at those heights.

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

IMO for Tambling to be put up for trade after signing a 2 year deal with us and having to go through the process of trying to be traded and ending up staying... Well IMO it would totally shatter him as a person and a footballer. If we think the Buddy trade affected him imagine how he would feel after a trade bungle.

I am happy for Tambling to play out this year totally fit and free of injury, if he can't get it together then, well fine. If he cant and we move him on and still have to pay out a year on his contract then so be it. :-\

He is contracted for a further 2 years - set in stone definite !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he was to be traded the club he goes to takes over his contract either all of the $$$ or the majority it depends on the trade. And if he was traded and the new club offered him a further extension on the current 2 years then yes it may involve more money

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.

Yeah agree Houli is OK hes not worth even an out of form Tambling.

Tambling for Houli and 2nd pick.
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.

ps. Richie signed for 2 years daniel.

Ok I will repeat myself for you.

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.

Have to say WAT we didn't get screwed with the Ottens deal as we got 2 first round picks for him which was a good deal. I think what happened is most people would think we screwed up in our selections when using the picks.....

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.

Yeah Infamy said the same when I brought that up last year... I don't know, I know we stuffed the picks up but really I would have thought he was worth more, perhaps at the time, but hey thats what I thought then, and in hindsight still do. :-\

True WP. Also, ottens wanted out and had recently had back surgery. It took him two years before he was playing anything remotely like decent footy and i don't believe he has shown consistently, the potential he showed before his back injury. It was a good trade we just stuffed up what we did with the picks.

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)

What your club needs in trade week
Jon Ralph
Herald Sun
September 17, 2010 12:44PM


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?

Well they would be right, his talent is far from realised, but my suspicion is it may not ever be. His greatest weakness is probably the most important area, between the ears. Add to that needing serious surgery on both calves and then 6 months later needing both hips operated then swapping him for mundy, on current form, is an instant upgrade. Perhaps they could throw in rance and pick 6 to get pick 4 as well.  ;D

If tambling goes elswhere and shows consistantly what he is capable of ....then good luck to him.

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

Rodan should have been given more time to recover from a knee reco. Schulz played some good games with us, some ok games and some bad ones. How many times did the dude play as a full forward all game for us instead of playing in about 3 different positions though? Not many. He's a full forward not a wingman/halfback/half forward. They are guys who had poo coaches and were not developed well. They take some of the blame and so do the guys who coached them.

They must mean 'guns' like McKee, Zantuck, Fiora, JON, Raines, etc  ::)

If Otto had stayed we would've been bagged by the media for not trading him when we had the chance. The media were bagging him two years after he left us. Remember Bomber Thompson telling the media to "leave him alone, leave him alone". Otto had a very good 2007 but really he hasn't needed to be the star player at Geelong in his 6 years there and he's been injured for a lot of the time.

Schulz had one or two good games in his 7 years with us. He is just a mark and kick FF. Let's see if he is still Port's focal point when they are next in the finals.

Rodan had a great 2007 but he's been inconsistent since. His best is very good but he goes missing as well. He was dropped to the SANFL midway through 2009.

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.

I hope we keep Ritchie.

He's an OK player and will be an asset in a side that is coached well with a good game plan, which is what we are becoming.

Watching the Cats tonight the last 4 years they have gotten the absolute absolute best out of OK players. Guys like Stokes, Byrnes, Blake, Hawkins, Hunt, Lonergan to name a few were absolute slop tonight and were found out when their aging stars looked slow and past it (Mooney, Milburn, Corey, Scarlett etc). On the opposite Collingwood have managed to get the absolute best out of mediocre players Leigh Brown, the guy is a wacko but consistently he's put in super performances all year.

Tamblings worse is no worse than a Leigh Brown, Lonergan, Byrnes or Stokes. If we get things right and click the switch to get the best out of Ritchie he'll produce the goods,

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 should be aiming for a pick under 12 thats all I was saying and as it seems others agree with me, not that they said a pick under 12 but they certainly agree with his currency rating that not many on this forum do. Don't ever forget he was pick 3, regardless of his current form he was pick 3 end of story. Tambling could be turned aropund in a heart beat with the right people behind him IMO and other obviously recognise that as well. We need to aim high instead of just taking what we can get, like we do every year. Anyway got to go out for a ride now... ;D ;D ;D

what pick you are taken at becomes irrelevant the moment you pull your first jumper on. Your currency is based mainly on performance and also on potential for younger blokes who haven't played many games.

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)

we used the picks from the ottens trade on Danny Meyer and Adam Patterson  ???

Have a look back at that draft Al, who would you have taken with those picks? Monfries, Shermin thats about it.........

You cant really say they were successful picks though can you? Both contributed very little to the club on the field, so they were unsuccessful picks, but i see your point.
That doesn't make the Ottens trade a poor one, the trade was a good one, we just didn't utilise the picks, for whatever reason, as you would have hoped. We did all right in the trade but we didn't get it right with the with the recruiting/developing, unless you believe someone should have known the draft was going to be such a poor one.

Another one bites the dust for the Tigers?
By Daniel Dufty
The Roar
Monday 20th September, 2010



Richmond‘s recruiting in the last nine years has been average at best. And if Richard Tambling ends up being traded away from Punt Road, it is another wasted draft pick for a club on the rise.

Tambling was picked up for the Tigers with selection No.4 in the 2004 National Draft. He looked a likely prospect, but has since has been heavily scrutinised.

You could shift the blame on the man himself for his slow development for such a high draft pick, but the talent in the year he was listed played a large role too.

Brett Deledio, Jarryd Roughead, Ryan Griffen all manned the top three picks, not to mention Lance “Buddy” Franklin in fifth, Jordan Lewis seventh and Angus Monfries, picked at 14.

Tambling had a breakthrough AFL season in 2009 averaging almost 22 disposals over 20 games, but his year slowed towards its finale, having suffered with compartment syndrome.

Supporters could see his drive and skills worthy of a higher order selection, yet it was only a quick snippet off his capabilities. In 108 games, it was merely a flash and he is only one player out of a number who haven’t hit the mark.

Richmond recruiters have got it wrong on many occasions and of late, here are just a few:

Danny Meyer (Pick 12, 2004 National Draft): Recruited from Glenelg, Meyer could only muster up 17 games between 2005-08 and was subsequently delisted at the conclusion of the 2008 AFL season. Since then, he has been picked up by Port Adelaide as a rookie in the 2008 Rookie Draft and played nine games.

Adam Pattison (Pick 16, 2004 National Draft): Played 61 games for Richmond in five seasons from 2005-09. Delisted at the end of the 2009 season and then picked up by St.Kilda. Pattison is a ruckman who wasn’t good enough to keep his position on the Tigers’ list. There are too many better big men blocking his path.

Jay Schulz (Pick 12, 2002 National Draft): Managed 71 games and 58 goals (2003-2009), which wasn’t enough to earn him another contract. Injuries and fluctuating form didn’t help his cause. He has rejuvenated his career with Port Adelaide playing 16 games and kicking 33 goals in 2010, to finish equal tenth for the John Cahill Medal and be the leading goal kicker for the club.

David Rodan (Pick 33, 2001 National Draft): First learned of his sacking from the club after then captain Kane Johnson at the club’s 2006 best and fairest count delivered his bad news in his season ending speech. Rodan was impressive in his first two years, but then a knee injury in 2005 worked against him and he was delisted at the end of season 2006. Port Adelaide is now reaping the rewards of his services.

Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls (Pick 8, 2005 National Draft): Oakley-Nicholls just couldn’t cut it at AFL level with only 13 games to his name from 2006-2009. He spent most of his time at Coburg in the VFL. West Coast picked him up as a rookie at the end of the 2009 season and since he has struggled with a groin injury in 2010.

Such results show Richmond has got it wrong, but at times they have got the long end of the straw.

Yes, the club has got it right with Brett Deledio, Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt. But with Tambling, a player who’s a good possibility of finding a new home with Essendon leading in the race, it is another stab in the back for Tigers’ recruiters.

David Rodan could have been kept, yet the Tigers let him go and the move has bit them in the back. Tambling has two years remaining on his contract, helped with funding from an indigenous learning centre at Punt Road, yet Gary March doesn’t mind if he crosses over to another club.

Former Bulldog and Tiger Nathan Brown expects Tambling to be a good prospect for another side, in a team where he could gain a lot of the ball, with the right players around him.

His mental side of his game is where he has to improve, but he could be a good asset. Richmond have waited long enough for his improvement and he was on track to hitting some form. But again in 2010, he has hit a snag playing only 13 matches and finishing 25th in Richmond’s best and fairest award – the Jack Dyer Medal.

If Tambling does end up like David Rodan as a revitalised player at another club, it will be big win for the man.

He will have the last laugh over the Tigers if they do say goodbye to his services. Richmond’s recruiters have got it wrong many a time, but on this occasion, a player could be moving on for the right reasons, but time will tell.

Sometimes teams have it tough and for Tigers fans they have had the rough end of the deal for way too long. But maybe they are getting something stronger back, with a better player as compensation? Bachar Houli looks to be the man, and if he can be better than Tambling, it will be good news for a club which is on the up.

Although it is another wasted draft pick of the past and a new trade the club has to deal with.

Manager Ricky Nixon has confirmed Richmond midfielder Richard Tambling could be on the move. Tambling has two years remaining on his contract but may be keen on a fresh start.

''They haven't shopped him around but I have asked about the possibility of a trade. We'll see how we go,'' Nixon said yesterday.

Tambling had a medical at the Whitten Oval last friday.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19100113&postcount=417

did you see him with your very own eyes, im not having a go at you its just that my mail is that the Dogs are into him big time, Josh hill and the pick for harbrow will need to be used to satisfy us and it would involve a third club. i know we are desperate for a top 20 pick.

No, but I have heard it from a couple of reliable sources.

What would be fair compensation?

I am really starting to favour keeping Tambling more and more as these players from other teams are either going to th GC or re-signing with their clubs. Honestly unless we can pick up a draft pick under 12-15 (dream on yeah whatever) I think we may as well give him another go.

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?

like someone else said on here we should be approaching this draft with the view if we dont get what we want the player stays at our club.

Very similar to what Ratten has said publicly and what Choco has done in the past.
If clubs dont cough up a first round then they get no one and the player stays.

We need to play hard ball not this weak as pee attitude we have accepted in the past.

First rounder and nothing less for Tambling. This on trade for a dud like Sherman is unbelievable.

As much as i want tambling gone we need to be smart and play hardball but then again we have Cameron doing the deals for us so we will probably end up with pick 50

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 still has two years to run on a contract at Punt Rd, but both parties are considering an amicable split.

Richmond, which will not give up Tambling cheaply, is awaiting any offers that come its way during trade talks.

Tigers football manager Craig Cameron last night said he was aware of the interest from rival clubs.

"We'll wait and see what eventuates and what Adelaide comes to us with," Cameron said.

Tambling was a brilliant teenager, picked at No.4 in the 2004 national draft - famously one spot of ahead of Hawthorn superstar Lance Franklin.

Despite his inconsistencies, Tambling has shown signs of being a devastating line-breaker and is a tantalising prospect for some clubs.

St Kilda may be one club that turns its attention to Tambling once its premiership battle with Collingwood is over.

The Saints went for Andrew Lovett last year and Tambling has similar electrifying pace.

He could blossom as an outside player in a side blessed with an array of contested ball specialists.

Tambling is still a chance to remain at Richmond, but he has tested the patience of both fans and the coaching staff.

At 24, he may be in need of a fresh start after 108 games in six seasons in an often struggling Tiger outfit.

The Crows, who have only been bit-part players at the trade table under coach Neil Craig, are likely to finalise a deal to snare Carlton ruckman Sam Jacobs and have been chasing fellow Blue, Andrew Walker.

Walker is believed to favour a move to the Dogs, but much work needs to be done to get a deal with the Blues over the line.

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.

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.
I wouldn't.  That's around pick 30.  Tambling is contracted for 2 years.  We can play hardball.  Pick in the teens or nothing.

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.
Title: Crows talk to Richmond's Richard Tambling
Post by: torch on October 01, 2010, 07:22:24 PM
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 still has two years to run on a contract at Punt Rd, but both parties are considering an amicable split.

Richmond, which will not give up Tambling cheaply, is awaiting any offers that come its way during trade talks.

Tigers football manager Craig Cameron last night said he was aware of the interest from rival clubs.

"We'll wait and see what eventuates and what Adelaide comes to us with," Cameron said.

Tambling was a brilliant teenager, picked at No.4 in the 2004 national draft - famously one spot of ahead of Hawthorn superstar Lance Franklin.

Despite his inconsistencies, Tambling has shown signs of being a devastating line-breaker and is a tantalising prospect for some clubs.

St Kilda may be one club that turns its attention to Tambling once its premiership battle with Collingwood is over.

The Saints went for Andrew Lovett last year and Tambling has similar electrifying pace.

He could blossom as an outside player in a side blessed with an array of contested ball specialists.

Tambling is still a chance to remain at Richmond, but he has tested the patience of both fans and the coaching staff.

At 24, he may be in need of a fresh start after 108 games in six seasons in an often struggling Tiger outfit.

The Crows, who have only been bit-part players at the trade table under coach Neil Craig, are likely to finalise a deal to snare Carlton ruckman Sam Jacobs and have been chasing fellow Blue, Andrew Walker.

Walker is believed to favour a move to the Dogs, but much work needs to be done to get a deal with the Blues over the line.

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.

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.

when you weigh up the pros and cons of r tambling there is a very strong case to be made for trading him for a top 30 pick. i think adelaides compensation pick for bock is about 25 id take it and run and live comfortably with what ever the outcomes are.

From the RFC website....


Francis Jackson confirmed several clubs were interested in contracted midfielder Richard Tambling, with the Adelaide Crows among them.

"I've had a chat to them and the possibility [of a trade] and we'll see what comes and what eventuates at the end of the day," he said.

"There's plenty of to-ing and fro-ing at the moment, so obviously you need to strike that healthy balance before something eventuates."

whats wrong with that?? Just because we dont rate the players as individuals doesnt mean we should not play hardball with those clubs.

Look at North a few years back paying over the odds for Thompson and Hay. Ill tell you one thing people involved with hawthorn were touching themselves after getting what they got.

We should not accept anything like a cheap tart even if they are duds as Tambling is.

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.

tambling is probably worth a 20-30 pick, depending on what you can then get for that pick.
Ultimately either directly or indirectly the club will want to replace any players traded out with players around the 22/23 age bracket.

The issue will not so much be what pick we get, but in effect what player.

I suppose an early 20s pick could be a first rounder this year.
Title: Crows offer their compo pick in exchange for Tambling (Australian)
Post by: one-eyed on October 02, 2010, 02:40:39 AM
The much-maligned Tambling, who has played 108 games for the Tigers and is under contract for another two years, will decide by early next week whether to accept an offer to join Adelaide, which is in search of some additional midfield pace.

The Crows have offered to on-trade their compensation pick -- for losing Nathan Bock to the Gold Coast -- to the Tigers, who are warming to the trade deal.

Richmond supporters have never forgiven those in charge at Punt Road for recruiting Tambling with the overall fourth selection in the 2004 national draft, in front of Hawthorn's star forward Lance Franklin, who was the fifth pick.

Journo Mark Stevens in Herald-Sun today pushing St Kilda to look at Tambling ....


Last off-season, the Saints gambled on Andrew Lovett for some much-needed pace. It is obvious they need to roll the dice again after being exposed for speed and depth of class on a hard and fast MCG.

Richard Tambling? Justin Sherman? Andrew Walker? Anyone who can run and carry the footy.

I only see 4-6 clubs this year that would consider trading away a first round pick and the Bumblings are one of those. Saints, Geelong, Bulldogs, Dawks and Suns (seeing they have so many) being the others

Richard Tambling's bid for freedom
Mark Stevens
Herald Sun October 05, 2010


RICHARD Tambling has told Richmond he wants out as Adelaide and a handful of other clubs circle.

Tambling's manager Ricky Nixon informed the Tigers on Sunday night of Tambling's wish to be traded, almost certainly ending his 108-game career at Punt Rd.

It is understood Geelong has shown a passing interest in the pacy midfielder, but the Crows remain in pole position to strike a deal.

But it seems certain Richmond midfielder Richard Tambling has played his last game for the Tigers, with the 24-year-old confirming he and the club have agreed to part ways.

Adelaide are the early favourites to snare Tambling, who still has two years to run on his current contract.

"I felt the need to start fresh again and get the love of the game back into me and the club agreed on (me) seeking elsewhere," Tambling told Melbourne radio.

Stop being a wang tease, TM.  Give us a PM ;)
I have no problem if there are players wanting to leave
If you want to jump ship just as things are on the upwards swing then you know where the door is, I'm sure we won't miss any of them

Tambling I'm sure will go on to be a very good player elsewhere, and his trade value now is probably at its lowest point, but I expect a Top 20 pick for him at bare minimum or he will stay, simple as that.

Lol @ sooking about players "wanting out" small chicken hearts believe the papers.

Richie signed a 2 year deal, he is happy to play at Richmond. If a deal works for him he's happy to be traded.

Both him and Thursty are fringe players who would like to be guaranteed best 22 football. It's a good thing we have competition for spots. Its also a good thing players want to come to Richmond, Houli, Sherman, Grigg etc.

Backhander from Ricky Nixon at Richmond and our coaching .....

Three set for new homes
By Jennifer Witham
Tue 05 Oct, 2010


ANDREJS Everitt, David Hale and Richard Tambling should all find new homes this week, their manager Ricky Nixon says.

Nixon said his players were looking for fresh starts and new opportunities during the trade period and expected all of them to generate strong interest.

He also said he believed Tambling would attract a draft pick somewhere in the 20s and would be a rejuvenated player at a new home.

"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.

"I watched that under 18s carnival that year and everyone would have agreed Franklin was nowhere near the talent that Tambling was at the time.

"For Richard, it's all about a fresh start and getting to a club that's well coached."

Richie has no preference to where he goes and is worth a pick in the 20s according to Ricky Nixon but he's hardly got our interests in mind.

He was booed because he played like crap, and he'll be booed again at his new side if he plays rubbish football.

Thank you very much Tambling.
You were a waste of a selection when we picked you.
And I wish you and your next team the same that you gave us.
NOTHING.

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.

As for the good coaching comment - not sure how after Richie had a semi-decent 2009 our coaching can be blamed when he had a hip injury for most of this year. Sounds like Blingers is hoping a new club will help with his own mental demons regarding Buddy. He's still contracted so we hold the bargaining power. Having said that pick 23 will probably be enough to get a deal done. Mind you not sure how Ricky can demand Richie wants to go to a club with a good coach when the club wanting Richie just lost their premiership coach and hasn't got a replacement yet  ???.

Looks lie we are playing Adelaide and Geelong of one another. The end result now seems a pick in the early 20s but it depends on how desperate Adelaide are. Are they desperate enough to beat the Geelong bid? Are they desperate enough to cough up pick 14?

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.

I cant believe what im reading re: Nixon comments

Yes thats right we booed because of Buddy :banghead :banghead
Had nothing to do with his numerous failed attempts to take one handed grabs or his ability to stand at the back of packs not going in for the hard ball.

No Nixon it was because he was taken ahead of Buddy. Give me a stuffin break.

The bloke is a waste of time. Hodge was taken before Judd but what did Hodge do. He worked his backside off and is now captain of the HFC. Tambling is too weak between his ears thats why he wants out. Like a scared girl who runs away instead of fighting and working hard.

To all the guys here who defended this clown well i hope u now can see that Ritchie played most games for the RFC with no heart. FACT!!!

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.
Title: Geelong says no to Tambling; Adelaide most keen (Herald-Sun)

Cats last night said no to Tambling. Saints are said to have a small interest; Adelaide is known to be most keen.


Adelaide keen to lure Richard Tambling
Mark Stevens
Herald Sun
October 06, 2010


RICHARD Tambling will lose the "Buddy baggage" if he crosses to Adelaide by the end of trade week.
Tambling, taken at No. 4 with the pick before Lance Franklin, has had to live with being ridiculed by Richmond fans in recent seasons.

Although Tambling's decision to leave is a combination of factors, heat from over the fence has played a role.

"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.

"I watched that under-18s carnival that year and everyone would have agreed Franklin was nowhere near the talent that Tambling was at the time.

"For Richard, it's all about a fresh start and getting to a club that's well coached."

Geelong denied it was interested in Tambling, but sources said St Kilda had a mild interest in him.

Adelaide has made no secret of its desire to lure Tambling and again made it clear with the Tigers yesterday.

A deal is likely to be struck with the Crows later this week.

Nixon last night played down the significance of the Tigers' fans pushing Tambling out, telling the Herald Sun: "It is a lot of things adding up to one - more than just one incident (booing)".

But Nixon said abuse from fans can affect extended family.

With a fresh start, the Tambling/Franklin comparison will be pushed into the background and Tambling, after 108 games, has the ability to blossom.

Richmond's head of football Craig Cameron indicated last night talks were progressing. "We're not miles apart ... it's only the first day," he said.

Tambling could haunt Tigers

    * Mark Stevens
    * From: Herald Sun
    * October 04, 2010


FRINGE players off-loaded during trade week are usually harmless.

They find a new home, quietly slot in, but rarely give their former team too many headaches. It's a win-win.

Farren Ray has played three Grand Finals in a year for St Kilda, but no one at Whitten Oval is full of regret.

You could say the same about Sean Dempster, who left Sydney to become a role player at the Saints, but has not hurt the Swans either.

But there are times when a player deemed expendable can return to bite their former club on the backside. Big time.

Richmond fans would take David Rodan back now with open arms. Adam Schneider has been a ripping pick for the Saints, biting the Swans.

And although the trade pool is full of smallish fish this year, some have sharp teeth. There could be some pain to come.

Here is The Buzz's "bite you on the backside" index for this year.

Following are the top five players with the most potential to suddenly find some consistency and cause pain to their former clubs (if they move on):

1. Richard Tambling.

I know the Richmond fans have had enough, but have a feeling he is the next Rodan.

If he goes to Adelaide and is allowed to settle on a wing, or at even half-back, Tambling has the ability to be a star.

Just get the ball out to him and let the guy run. Leaving the Tigers, and all the Buddy Franklin talk, behind him will be a huge positive.

If Craigy can get his head right at Crows, look out.

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

Ricky Nixon is a deceitful little b. Said he had to be careful about what he said about Richmond as he received a lot of hate mail yesterday about Tambling and claimed the hate mail said Tambling wasn't booed at all and that us Tiger supporters basically need our ears checked out  ::). Who said Tambling wasn't booed Ricky? You didn't have the guts to say your client was booed for not going for the ball.  

Anyway Nixon reckons a trade of Tambling for Adelaide's compo pick will be done by the latest tomorrow. So the deal is all but done.

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


RT has played his whole career always looking for a reason why he has played so crap. He has no heart and this is the best outcome for the RFC. A draft pick close to 20 is a good result and we can certainly look to upgrade that with Thursfield etc etc.

Hodge is the perfect example of a guy who would rather let his actions speaker louder than words but RT has chosen to run and hide

Tambling has nominated Adelaide as his preference to go to so the deal will definitely get done.

Wallace, who Hutchy is calling "our list management guru", just said it's good for Richmond to just move on and the deal is a pretty good one.

Tiga i believe at this stage the pick is 26 but im pretty sure it could get pushed back further if others chose to use their Compo picks.

Ramps i agree in a way not with the decision but why make a deal so far out from the end of draft day when for all we know we could have got something close to the 15 mark.

That being said Tambling has provided nothing and i for one accept the pick just think we could've worked harder to get it closer to the teens.

Do we know what the compo pick will be?
It depends on how many clubs with GC compo picks use them in this draft.

25. Collingwood ...... end of round 1
26. West Coast ..... priority pick

Geelong (Ablett compo)
Geelong (Ablett compo)
Brisbane (Rischitelli compo)
Adelaide (Bock compo)
Hawthorn (Brown compo)
Bulldogs (Harbrow compo)

Then start of round 2

So Adelaide's compo pick in this year's draft will be between picks 27-30.

Of course given it's a compo pick at the end of first round we don't have to use it this year. We have until 2015 to use it. So we could hold off until 2012 say when the drafts are no longer compromised by GC and GWS and then the compo pick will be worth around pick 19.

I'd guess though given word is we are chasing 4 picks inside the top 30 that we'll use the compo pick this year.

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.

edge of the 22? he was a lock each and every stuffing game  ::) maybe if that prick dropped him for extended periods and made him earn his spot instead of cruising through 100 games it may have made a difference. anyhow its done now...

also guys, dont let the media fool you, geelong were never going to offer more than a pick in the 20's and have gone cold, no way known was anything under 20 realistic. Ray was no worse and he went for pick 40odd, we did well to get this.

If you can forget for a moment where we took him in the draft and just go on present form and history since we secured him, I think a second round pick (what pick 27-33 normally is) is a reasonable deal. In fact you could even argue, when comparing it against someone of the promise of Griffiths our last years 2nd round pick, that it was a bit of a steal.

Tambling had a reasonable season in 2009 but has had plenty of injury and pschological issues in his short career. Adelaide is taking a chance that he will fufill his potential with them in a new environment but history shows such miracles rarely occur.

Good trade in a compromised draft I say

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.
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.

Tambling to Adelaide expected to go through
RICHMOND midfielder Richard Tambling could become an Adelaide player on Wednesday afternoon, his manager Ricky Nixon says.

The 24-year-old nominated Adelaide as his preferred destination with the Tigers keen to secure the pick at the end of round one the Crows were given as compensation for losing Nathan Bock to Gold Coast.

"I expect that to go through today or tomorrow," Nixon told afl.com.au's Trade Week Radio.

"After dealing with a few other clubs, Richard has decided he wants to go to Adelaide; I've told Richmond that so we're [trying] to do the deal."

Should the trade be completed, the Tigers will be able to use the selection in any of the next five NAB AFL Drafts.

Nixon, who believes Tambling is best suited to a role at half back, is confident he will flourish at the Crows.

He has already met with coach Neil Craig to discuss his potential spot in the side.

"With Neil Craig, I haven't had much to do with him and I thought it was better that Richard meet with him, and he has a couple of times," he said.

"I'm sure Neil would have expressed where he sees him fitting into the team.

"Good clubs do ... [say] this is where we see our team next year, this is where we see you playing.

"I think that's always quite impressive and I know Melbourne has done that with David Hale."

Nixon said if the trade fell over, Damien Hardwick and the Tigers would be happy to retain Tambling.

"Richmond has been very good in suggesting that he may be getting a fresh start somewhere," he said.

"At the end of the day, if he's still at Richmond, he's welcome back with open arms."

Nixon also said he was still fielding interest for North Melbourne ruckman Hale, with Melbourne and Hawthorn keen suitors.

"I think he's an ideal fit for Melbourne with their current forward six with [Liam] Jurrah, [Jack] Watts, [Austin] Wonaeamirri ... [Hale] would complement them a bit," he said.

"They haven't really got that full marking option up forward."

He also said the Hawks had already looked at their structure and how Hale could fit in with tall forwards Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead.

"They explained to me a totally different scenario that's probably not one I can say publically," he said.

"Let's just say they showed me where they might play a couple of superstars differently and then all of a sudden they went, 'Ooh, that works all right'."

What psychological issues did he have Stripes?  Is he bipolar? Schizophrenic?  Injuries yes and some bad form yes...any psychological issues could be from his own supporters yelling out what a POS he is over the fence in front of his family that had come to watch the game.  Only did first year psychology so I am just having a stab in the dark here.

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.

Tambling moves to Adelaide
richmondfc.com.au
6:10 PM Wed 06 Oct, 2010


Richmond midfielder Richard Tambling will continue his AFL career at the Adelaide Crows after the Tigers agreed to a trade this afternoon.

The Tigers will receive two draft selections from the Crows in the deal - a compensation selection at the end of the first round, and a third round selection.

The exact number of the draft selections is yet to be determined.

The compensation selection, which Adelaide received when defender Nathan Bock signed with the Gold Coast Suns earlier this year, can be used in any draft up until, and including, 2014.

“Gaining a compensation selection will give us great flexibility in the 2010 draft, and in subsequent drafts,” Richmond General Manager of Football Craig Cameron said.

“We set out to improve our position in the 2010 draft, and we believe these selections will place us in a strong position to recruit and develop more young talent through the draft process.”

“Richard has been a fine servant of the Richmond Football Club for the last six seasons, and we wish him well for the remainder of his career.”

Tambling played 108 games kicked 61 goals for the Tigers after making his debut in 2005.

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.

I'm leaning towards saving it, it is worth heaps more to us a club in two years, there will be no quality left if we use it this year

Great result snaring two picks. I agree daniel - great to trade him now rather than waiting and hoping he will finally come good. We can't lose in thsi situation - he was never going to come good for us and wasn't even in our best 22 so regardless of how well he plays at the Crows it is a smart move. Now we just need to use the picks wisely unlike the picks we had in the top 20 when we traded Ottens...

Great move by the club. Two picks are better than one. Use the compensation pick this season on a kid. It's a compromised draft this year and next so use it now and get some games into that kid next year.

Can honestly say this is a win win for both clubs and finally yes we have traded a player when we should have and IMHO have received overs for him. :thumbsup

Good deal for the Tiges and agree we traded him at the right time. I do wish Bling all the best, he did get it from both side just because he went before Franklin, but the circus moves on - tthe dogs keep barking.

The good thing is we stuffed Carlton up a bit as the Crow pulled out of the trade for Walker.

I would be disapointed if we gave up one of these picks for Houli as we should be able to trade Polo for him.

Griggs could come to us through the Pre Season if WC have anther player lined up.

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

Reckon RT will do well at Crows but happy to get some draft picks as I reckon RFC and RT were never going to be a happening thing.

OK now that that is done who else can we trade for picks

Ricky Nixon on SEN now admitted he sat down with Tambling in June/July and told him it'd be good for your career to move clubs given the "demons" Richie was dealing with. Most Richmond supporters are okay but there's a minority as we saw with Danny Frawley.

Tambling was on Trade Talk radio and didn't mention once the 'Buddy' issue Ricky has been going on about. In fact he didn't criticise Richmond at all and just said he needed a fresh start. He was happy to stay in Melbourne but when he went over and saw Adelaide's slower paced lifestyle he liked it. He'll play wing/HB at the Crows with spurts in the midfield.

Tambling excited by Adelaide move
By Adam McNicol
12:38 PM Thu 07 Oct, 2010


ADELAIDE recruit Richard Tambling says he is confident the move to South Australia will revitalise his career.

The former Richmond midfielder was traded to the Crows on Tuesday in exchange for two NAB AFL draft picks.

Speaking from Sri Lanka, where he is doing charity work with Adam Goodes and Brett Kirk, Tambling told afl.com.au's Trade Week Radio that he's delighted with the deal.

"A fresh start is what I thought I needed and I'm very excited about having the opportunity to start fresh again," he said.

Tambling played 108 games with the Tigers between 2005 and 2010, but he never escaped the comparisons to Hawthorn star Lance Franklin, who was taken one pick later than him in the '04 draft.

"Hopefully I can fulfil my potential and get out there for the Adelaide Football Club and show the world what I was drafted for," he added.

The 24-year-old admits he wasn't keen to leave Melbourne until he was flown to Adelaide for a meeting with Crows coach Neil Craig.

"Richmond was actually quite good with the whole situation," Tambling explained.

"They actually let me go to Adelaide and sit in with Neil Craig and have a few discussions.

"That turned the tables for me. The plans he placed in front of me fitted me in perfectly, so that turned my head that way."

Tambing has been used in a range of positions by the Tigers, and most recently enjoyed a stint in the half-back line.

However, he's hoping to spend more time in the midfield with the Crows.

"When I sat down with Neil Craig he had a few positions on the table where I could fit in," Tambling said.

"One of the positions was as an outside wingman. I’d like to get the opportunity to be an inside player as well, but to start off with I think that being an outside player at Adelaide, with the wider wings at AAMI Stadium, will probably suit me in more ways than one.

"When I was younger I always played in the centre, so that's my favourite position, although with the bigger bodies in the AFL I think it suits me to play on the wing or half-back.

"Bu I'd like to be given the opportunity to play in the middle at times, whether it's five minutes per quarter or so. That would be great."

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."

Yep, that is what I meant.

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!

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.

That is our problem now. Do we, or don't we?

Cameron did say "Better our position in the 2010 draft"?

Hopefully we trade it for a higher pick.

I think we will use it this year.

Here's an interview that Bling did with 5AA.

http://www.fiveaa.com.au/audio_crows-star-recruit-richard-tambling_100069

Look i think very highly of Blinga but i think its abit of a cop out to blame the fans for him underacheiving!

Bling never settled in 1 position because he never excelled in 1 position to warrant being kept there!

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 honestly wish Richie the best of luck at the crows and ill be watching his progress closely because i think he could go either way, he could be a great solid player or he could just basically not have the chops to play good footy at AFL level!

1. At the game, I don't think it is right to boo your own players as long as they are wearing the Richmond jumper. The frustration is understandable, but it doesn't help and the support would do a lot.

BUT

2. As long as Tambling believes it is the fans fault, the Buddy factor or some other excuse he will never be a good AFL footballer. He struggled to get his hands on the footy for us, to me its clear at the end that he was lacking smarts and confidence and we moved him around to do him a favour, to try and fit him in the best 22, not to stall his development. The only way for him to become the on-baller he wants to be with his current ball-winning ability and footy smarts to is to become one of the fittest players in the AFL. I'm not sure he has the attitude to get himself in the right condition.

To be honest, I thought it was a decent interview by Tambling, he just told it how it was, but didn't really get stuck into us. It was Graham Studley Cornes who was doing all the baiting. Bling just laughed it off.

Richmond supporters ARE feral. Being constantly compared to Buddy Franklin all the time would be enough to do your head in.

But I remember when he was drafted, his girlfriend at the time and now wife said that there were people back home that didn't want him to succeed.  Now, having that pressure on you might have had some influence as well.

I would be peeed if he became a star, but maybe a change of club is what he needs.  We weren't able to extract anything out of him, but maybe Adelaide can.  Who really cares? He's gone!

Post by: Penelope on October 26, 2010, 07:16:43 PM
I got the impression he felt not being able to settle into one position was more of a factor. I dont think he actually said the fans were to blame, just the whole weight of expectations. It's funny to read online forums full of people who cannot even have someone disagree with them without seemingly taking it as some sort of personal slight, bag a footballer who finds constant criticism from fans as a hard cross to bear.

The 15 mile community that Richie said he grew up in is an absolute poo hole. I was told by a bloke who ran one of the CDEP programs that it was a place where many who were outcasts from their own communities ended up. Now i know why he was so keen to leave Darwin when he was first drafted. For anyone to claw their way out that mire is a remarkable achievement in itself.

On the comment by the host who about Richmond fans, he said some of the Richmond fans, and he is right, as he would be if he said it about any other club.

I wouldn't take too much notice of Graham Cornes and his anti-Richmond fans garbage. Most people in SA can't stand him either lol. At least we don't damage cars parked at the footy with interstate (Vic) number plates like they do over there ::)

As al said all clubs have their nuffers who bag their own. 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.

One of the best ever posts.

Couldn't agree more.

So much football is relies on the muscle between the ears. I think Stripes is spot on, you can sometimes over think and over train and worry and psyche yourself out.

Interesting interview with Mike Hussey years ago that the key to success was relaxing. In his early career he was obsessed with facing 5,000 balls i the nets every single day. Under the law of the more you practice the better you would be. In doing so Hussey placed this expectation of being in form and setting his goals and expectations way to high and when he didn't score a century every week which was the expectations of working so hard he lost confidence and continued downwards.

Only later did he learn to relax enjoy training and not be obsessed with his performances and results did he become an international player at the highest level.

I can relate a lot of this to Bling. I'm a top draft pick I should be getting 30 possies a week, I should be kicking bags of goals etc.

Super post Stripes.

Expectations never diminish the performance of the elite. Judd, Ablett,Cuz and before them Voss, Buckley and Aker all rise to the challenge of performing on the big stage. Imagine Tambo in a final!
Having said that, he is one of very few ex-tiger players (maxfield and Lambert were 2 others) who I will take more than a passing interest in watching over the next few years.

Tambling just wanted people to feel sorry for him so insetad of working hard at the problem he chose to run away.

So you are the chief "supporter" that Richie was referring to in his interview. Richie's family had to sit in the Richmond crowd and listen to fools like you bagging him and others week in and week out.

What a disgrace. Every player who dons the Yellow and Black tries his guts out for the team and the fans, even the girls in the office at Tigerland bust their guts to get the club to the level that we supporters desire. They all deserve our respect.

I would think that real supporters bust their guts to keep our club reputation sound as well.

Good riddance to you.

Tambling ready to fulfil his potential
adelaidefc.com.au
By Jason Phelan
Mon 01 Nov, 2010


ADELAIDE recruit Richard Tambling is ready to kick start his stalled career after moving from Richmond to the Crows during this year's trade period.

Adelaide sent its compensation pick for losing Nathan Bock to Gold Coast and a third-round selection to the Tigers in return for Tambling's signature with the former No.4 pick at the 2004 NAB AFL Draft confident he can finally live up to his potential.

"A lot of things changed during my first few years at Richmond and I wasn't able to [do]... what I got drafted for," Tambling said on Monday. "I think by coming to Adelaide, that opportunity gets given back to me.

"In six years I still didn't have a position nailed down at Richmond. I was still floating through positions whether it was forward back or midfield and I don't think I got a lot out of my development.

"A lot of people tell me I have potential and I don't believe I've scraped the [surface], so I think a fresh start was needed.

"I was lucky enough that Adelaide provided that. I'm happy to be here and looking forward to it."

Tambling played 108 games at Punt Road and had signed a new deal to stay there, but came to the realisation that a new club and a new city was required for him to get the best out of himself.

The 24-year-old liked what he saw at Adelaide during a week-long assessment that left him confident he could leave a turbulent career in yellow and black behind him.

"I needed a new club with new ways of coaching and new ways of development, so I told Richmond that I wanted to leave and Adelaide seemed a fitting [place]," he said.

"All the talk about being a high draft pick and not reaching my potential - Melbourne is so on top of you and I found that very hard. I sought help for that and now with a fresh start I think I can move on and leave that behind. I can do the best that I can do and that's all I can give everyone out there.

"I was getting down on myself [early in my career] and it was impacting my family life. I had a young child by that stage and it was affecting me outside of my footy life and in return that affected my on-field performances as well because I was always doubting myself and doubting the way that I played.

"I believe all I can control now is the way I go about my footy and the way I play. I've just got to control the controllables; that's all I can do."

By severing ties with the Tigers and departing Melbourne, Tambling also hopes to finally put an end to the endless comparisons with Hawthorn star Lance Franklin who was taken by the Hawks with pick No.5 in the same draft.

"The first few years that did weigh heavily," Tambling said. "It was always Tambling versus Franklin. It did play heavily [on my mind] because the Richmond faithful were always ... one bad kick and they were on your back again and the whole world jumped back on there and it was difficult.

"I sought help for that and I didn't actually think it was bothering me at the start but as soon as I got talking to a psych it all came out and it actually was affecting me and my footy."

The Crows coveted Tambling's speed and decision making coming out of the back half in making a move for him and he sees himself helping to try and cover the losses of retired stars Simon Goodwin and Andrew McLeod who played those roles with distinction.

Tambling will need to wait at least a month before he can impress his new teammates on the track after undergoing groin release surgery and operations on both hips.

All clubs have a minority of fans who hang it on their own players from across the fence when the team is losing. Richie will definitely find that out in Adelaide. Read the Crows forums and some are already not happy about giving up a end of first round pick for him. Effectively they lost Bock + 3rd round pick for Tambling. Just because it's a smaller town doesn't mean their media aren't scathing when the Crows underperform. He's crossed from a city with 9 teams to one with just two teams. Remember Morton crossed the other way to get away from that two-team town mentality and microscope. Having said that it's a poor excuse to repeatedly blame supporters. The media kept up the Buddy vs Tambling stories one after another especially during 2007. For mine most Tiger supporters were very supportive of Richie after his 2009 season and with Buddy having by his standards an ordinary year. It looked like he was finally on the path to become a decent AFL footballer. From memory there was even a face-off thread on here giving Richie a tick for his 2009. Even this year Roughead would've copped more criticism for his shocker season from his own supporters and the Melbourne media than Richie did. It seems Ricky Nixon has convinced Richie it was all Richmond's fault. Oh well we move on with a young group who are committed to each other and the club and now have a spare top 20 pick up our sleeve to use in two years time.

I think Tambo is making a mistake by talking up how this new move will unlock his potential and everything. It's great to hear him being positive and up beat about a new future at a new club. But if I was him I would just get down to business and start performing I know there is many excuses why he didnt live up to his expectations at richmond but end of the day for whatever club he needs to perform well at AFL level and Adelaide want to push for finals next year from sounds of it so he will want to really lift his game.

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.

I was always confident he would get his act together but seeing him leave and reading his recent comments I now have my doubts. He seems to be looking for the easy answer. Hope you find it at the Crows Richie, but I think you'll find nothing beats hard work.

All the best, I'm disappointed you're gone.

Will never be more than a run of the mill type at best, doesn't have a feel for the game.

I have never seen a player get caught in no mans land more than Richie did practically his whole 6 seasons with us. He might be serviceable at the crows bc they are big on structure and personal roles which might help him learn to go to the right spots but good riddance, it was bloody ridiculous watching him get undeserved games week after week

I have no words to eat yet, when he's delisted from Adelaide for playing poorly then I'll happily accept I was wrong
Having him request a trade to another club while under contract is hardly proof that he's a dud like many here proclaim

I still stand by the fact that he was improving every year he played at the club up until 2010 when he had an injury (and perhaps attitude) affected year. Adelaide have a few big holes to fill with the departure of McLeod and Edwards, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him running freely from defence next year and showing the form many always thought he had.

If he's not putting in 100% I don't think Neil will show a lot of patience.

The expectations on Richie are different now as well. If he plays a bottom 6 role off half-back and as you say tiger consistently plays his part for the team then Craig and the Crows will be happy. For us if pick 18-ish in the 2012 draft turns out to be a good footballer and plays a key role for us for the next decade that fills a current deficiency in our side then we'll be very happy with that and it's a win-win trade for both clubs.

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.

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

betts couldnt get a root in a brothel thats how poor he is playing at the minute.

Tambling=dud

move on

wrong u cant get a root anywhere let alone a brothel

betts is a dangerous fwd
tambling beat him

how many afl games have you played nancy?

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.

I think Tambling was in general terrible last night. I always supported him (till near the end of his time with us) but 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.
The late first round pick, not used yet, should do it on its own. The third rounder we have used will hopefully be extra icing on top.

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.

Crows say Richard Tambling can play Leon Davis role in backline

    by: Zac Milbank
    From: The Advertiser
    December 05, 2011 1:42PM


ADELAIDE defender Richard Tambling has been earmarked for a Leon Davis-like role in 2012.

But finding confidence will be the key for the 25-year-old, who will be watched by new Crows backline coach Darren Milburn this summer.

Tambling was trialled in defence this year but Milburn is eager to persist with the experiment, in the hope the former Tiger can emulate Davis's resurrection at Collingwood.

"As a running half-back he seems to have plenty of pace so he's definitely an option off the half-back flank," Milburn said.

"I didn't know a lot about him when I first got here. He's obviously a high draft pick and there has been a lot of pressure which comes with that, also being at Richmond for a few years too."

Tambling managed just 10 AFL matches in 2011, his lowest tally in a season since his career began with Richmond in 2005.

Not only was he plagued by an injury-interrupted pre-season, he was also suspended by the match review panel for the only time in 118 AFL matches.

But Milburn can sense Tambling boasts enough talent to be the Crows' designated kicker from the back half.

"He's had some injury issues over the journey so it's all about getting his body right and getting some confidence back," Milburn said of the No. 2 draft pick.

Didn't Plough try this already in 2008?!  :huh

Post by: YellowandBlackBlood on December 05, 2011, 05:02:25 PM
The main difference with Neon Leon and Richie is that the former can hit targets at will. That is why he was the designated kick out guy at the pies. Richies disposal has always been a huge weakness, even as a youngster. In fact it was the one thing that the guys from NT would criticize him about in his junior days. Good luck to the guy, but I still can't believe how we off loaded him for two picks to the crows! :gobdrop

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.

Post by: Penelope on December 05, 2011, 06:52:12 PM
if he cant handle that perceived pressure, how would he have handled the pressure of a grand final?

I'm glad the club is finally putting emphasis on the person themselves and not just their football.

That might be a factor but its not the only reason why he hasn't set the world on fire like we thought he would when we first drafted him. I have just accepted that his nothing more then an average at best AFL player. I would be more then happy if he proves me wrong though.
Title: Re: Tambling traded to Adelaide for two picks (Official) [merged]
Post by: Coach on December 05, 2011, 08:08:43 PM
he just doesn't push himself hard enough to get the best out of himself. he's played good games where he's worked his ass off, got plenty of footy and also showed some mongrel. just doesn't do it enough and probably never will. I thought a new club might have done him good but he still looks the same.

good luck to the guy, hope he makes it. doubt he will though and i'm effing stoked with what we got for him

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.

You forgot to mention Campbell.

But some players just need a bit of good development early in their AFL career to succeed. 
Beams recruited to the pies is a great example of a player that has come on with great development structures in place.
Cameron Ling and Corey Enright Or Stokes at Geelong.
Development is very very important, with some players even more important.

Tambling is just a player who came with more hype than ever at the start of a regime that many thought would turn the clubs fortunes around.

If Tambo was that good he'd be a regular in our side or furthermore if Melbourne life was the issue and he wanted a more laid back country bumpkin feel he went to right place, he just aint good enough plain and simple.

We got a compensation pick out if it, now lets run and make the most of it and who cares how the kid ends up footy wise.

The current administration deserve praise for pulling this trade off. Adelaide got absolutely smoked on this one.  :thumbsup
Of course, d'heads like Jokestarr and his band of urchins only know how to pee and moan though. Don't give the RFC credit where its due.

Looks like Tambling will need be delisted by the Crows due to the Tippett saga.

Don't care if we pick him up as a rookie or not, I'll back our recruiters to pick the best available as they haven't got many wrong in recent times.

To be honest, it reminds me of the whole Croad to Fremantle saga with Hawthorn, then he returned to play in a Premiership lol  :whistle

Tambling might be good in the role Jetta plays for Sydney. Tambling was always fast so he might be an option.

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.

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.

Its okay everyone. He can stay on the crows list.

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.

How is Crouch a "traded player" this year when he was picked up in last year's mini-draft?  :huh

Could he be that skilful small forward we're looking for?

Richard Tambling's spot on the Adelaide list is safe, but one of Kurt Tippett's contracted former teammates will be cut, following his decision to nominate for the preseason draft.

Wouldn't it be great though to see Tambling back in the yellow & black kicking 5 goals in a Gf, winning the norm smith medal and the brownlow for us the very same year Buddy became the biggest dud in the AFL and the hawks slumped to ninth?

Tambling retires from AFL
afc.com.au
November 26, 2013 8:41 PM


Former Crow Richard Tambling has announced his retirement from AFL football.

Originally recruited by Richmond in the 2004 National Draft, Tambling played 124 AFL games. The speedy utility joined Adelaide during the 2010 trade period. He was limited to 16 games for the Crows in three injury-interrupted seasons.

Tambling, 27, had initially hoped to continue his AFL career after being cut from Adelaide’s senior list last month. He nominated for last week’s AFL National Draft and could’ve been considered in Wednesday’s Pre-Season or Rookie Draft, but has decided against pursing that option.

Tambling’s manager, Ben Williams of Players Ink., said the father of two was ready for a change.

“Richard has dedicated the last nine years to AFL football,” Williams said.

“He is a 100-game player and retires knowing that he gave it his all. Richard has decided it’s time to concentrate on the next phase of his life.”

The Adelaide Football Club thanks Richard for his contribution and wishes he and his family the very best for the future.
