Tiger Tambling adds his name to growing All-Stars list
By GREY MORRIS
Northern Territory News
Edition 1 -WED 10 JAN 2007, Page 038
RICHMOND follower and former Southern Districts utility Richard Tambling has thrown his hand into the All-Stars selection basket.
A former NT Thunder under-18 captain and Jabiru's greatest sporting product, 20-year-old Tambling would like nothing better than to run on to TIO Stadium for the February 9 game against Kevin Sheedy's Essendon.
``I couldn't wish for anything more, in fact I put my name up at the end of last season to play in the game,'' Tambling said. ``I just want to find out who is in the team and hopefully my name will be there, then get a trip home to play for the All-Stars again.
``It's a pretty good thing to be involved in as any of the players will tell you.''
Tambling overcame hamstring and foot problems that ruined his 2005 season to play 21 games with the 2006 Tigers.
``Last year was pretty good,'' he said. ``I got my body right and injuries to a minimum and played 21 games, which was a good result for me.''
The No. 4 pick at the 2004 national draft, Tambling played 12 games in his debut AFL season.
A member of the 2005 All-Stars side that beat the Western Bulldogs, Tambling has not played in Darwin since that game.
``It's always excellent playing up there and particularly with the All-Stars, hopefully I can get another chance,'' Tambling said.

I have read that Bling is starting on the wing, and Krak on the bench. Also Goodes and O'Loughlin have pulled out. These guys should give the bombouts the mother of all hidings!

As long as they don't get injured it's good experience for them playing alongside Macleod and co.
-
Goodes, O'Loughlin, Wirrpanda and Sampi have all pulled out of the Allstars game as has Buddy Franklin with a "a slight nick behind a knee". So both Blingers and Krak should now get a starting possie on the ground.

From The Age
Emma Quayle
February 9, 2007
Richmond's Richard Tambling wants his appearance for the All-Stars team tonight to be a springboard for a breakthrough AFL season.
The 20-year-old from the Northern Territory, the No. 4 pick overall in the 2004 draft, has bulked up over summer and also honed his midfield skills against teammates such as Tigers captain Kane Johnson, one of the toughest defensive onballers in the AFL.
"I've put on a bit of weight, I'm a bit stronger and I have had a full pre-season under my belt, so I'm quite happy with the way it's gone," Tambling said.
"Hopefully tomorrow night is the start of it becoming a good year altogether."
The Tigers need Tambling to develop quickly as a midfielder and Johnson has given him a masterclass.
"I actually had to play on him (Johnson) the other day and he showed what it was about, playing in the middle — he scragged me, hit me high, he did whatever he could to stop me getting the ball," Tambling said.
Tambling also played for the All-Stars two years ago against the Western Bulldogs.
"It was my first game after being drafted — I was pretty excited," the former Essendon fan said. "It was an honour for me to be picked, to represent the Aboriginal people, the population around Australia — one of the highlights of my career."
After managing only 12 games in his debut 2005 season because of injury, Tambling missed just one game last year.
But he managed more than 20 possessions only once and is determined to become more of a key player.
"I didn't play the way I would have liked to," he said of last season. "I don't think my fitness levels were as high as they should be.
"I didn't realise how hard you had to actually work on game day — now I know how much it hurts."

The Indigenous side draws first blood in the second quarter when Andrew Krakouer receives a free kick and goals from 15m out.
The All Stars pull back another goal when Andrew Krakouer receives a free kick for a high tackle 15m out from goal. he kicks his second.

Only saw the second half but Andrew missed another two easy set shots.
Pretty dismal game from what I saw. Not sure what the Bombers can take out of it - hopefully nothing :lol
-
AFL site's report:
All Stars skipper Andrew McLeod was his side's standout – he received the 'Polly' Farmer Medal for his performance – while emerging Magpie Chris Egan and a lean, mature-looking Andrew Krakouer were solid performers.
BEST – AFL Indigenous All Stars: McLeod, Egan, Pearce, Krakouer, White
The main thing for us was Krak and Tambo both got through the game okay.
-
the game was a shocker
krak tried his guts out, yes he missed 2 siters, but he did have a real go
bling hardly was seen , hardly had a decent run ion the ground
magic coached teh team very poorly, not all his fault though, they had no kpp's and no game plan it seemed.
the bombers, only won cos they had key tall players and thats it, but the nt bomber pro commentators are so fos, according to them and that performance, the bombers are the real deal and teh team to watch./
pigs a r s e!
-
I tried watching it but it the picture quality from Darwin was shocking - so I kept fliping back to the cricket which was a shocker too ;D
As for the bits of the game that I saw it was pretty boring - kicking side wayes, backwards, chipping kicks all the things that we all complain about.
What can the Bombers take out of it? Well Richard Cole has trimmed down alot ;D Seriously not very much I would have thought, unfortunately they didn't have much opposition. X makes a good point - Essendon had the talls the All Stars didn't and it showed.
-
According to the Age, budget cuts this year meant there was only one training session for the indigenous players before the game. No wonder they got smashed.
