How did we rate Tambo's year?
Richie played 20 matches this year. He injured his shoulder in the Geelong massacre and missed the following week and then was dropped after the Hawthorn in round 15. Richie averaged 13.6 disposals (20th best Tiger), 4.7 marks and 2.5 tackles per game. He also kicked 17 goals.

Disappointing. I expect big things next year from young Bling.
-
He was disappointing, but a lot of opposition supporters probably didn't notice how many times he was at the bottom of packs. If he can strengthen up more and be able to free his arms up, he can start feeding the ball out, instead of causing a contest and ensuing bounce.
I do have a feeling he'll be ok next year.
-
Still living in Buddy's shadow and likely always will.
Improved again from a low base but is still behind where you would hope from a no4 draft pick.
Finished the season really well playing his best football for the year so that was a big positive.
Hopefully he can take that through to 08.
5.5/10

I would say for a young kid in his third year he was OK. Disappointing is a bit harsh. He showed some steady improvement but didn't set the house on fire. If it wasn't for Boofy Fartlin people would be quite OK about him. I'm satisfied for the time being.

Probably said disappointing because I heard so much about him "having a blinder" all pre-season and then didnt seem to do so much.
Not so much hype and the let down wouldnt have been so big. :-\

Ok.
I'll be honest.
"Typical aboriginal bull poo crap"
-
so so year
has his moments, but not consistent enough yet
still hold high hopes for young richie :gotigers
-
Ok.
I'll be honest.
"Typical aboriginal bull poo crap"
whats his race have to do with it?
so rioli, wanganeen, long, mcleod, burgoynes, goodes, micky O, matera, polly, mitchell, cable etc etc were all "Typical aboriginal bull poo crap" also!
blingers showd good improvement this year, shiowed towards the end of teh yr that he is an inside mid not and outside runner
will become a very very good player

yep, I reckon if you were to look back the success rate of aboriginal players could quite possibly be better than that of non-indigenous players

I think what Brackets is getting at is that thats been the excuse all along, "its ok he's not there yet because he's aboriginal and they take time." Basically a direct Greg Miller line there.
Next year they cant hide behind that anymore. Its time for Bling to stand up and be counted!
Or I have no idea and that was no where near what Oxx was getting at,. :lol

exactly :thumbsup

thats a cop out, not all aboriginals take time, some do , some dont, just like caucasion players.
rioli was a gun from day 1 in the wafl and vfl, wanganeen never took time same as matera etc etc.
the only thing that held blingers back was his lack of muscle mass, not his race
btw, not sure if many are aware that wayne carey even thought he never talks about it is aboriginal. his brother has also played many times for the aborigibnal all stars at various indiginous games events. carey never took time to develop and look at buddy franklin, been here the same time as franklin but developed quicker but has a much biger body

Agree Rules. He had up and down year while showing steady improvement. Pretty standard for someone in his 3rd year. Good early on against the Dogs and Eagles especially and towards the end of year with a dip in form in the middle. I think injurying his shoulder against Geelong made him wary of hurting it again when he initially came back. However after being dropped for a week after the Hawthorn game, he was throwing himself into the bottom of packs and was an important part of our improved performances as a team in our last 4 games for the year.
-
Showed improvement - especially in the areas where most have been critical (defensively in particular). There's still alot of improvement to be made but he will be fine
2nd half of the season was very good
6.5/10

Must admit I did think the hype was a bit over the top. If that was what you were expecting then no wonder you were disappointed. Talk about putting pressure on the kid. :-\

Exactly. So talk to Greg Miller about it. Not us.

yeah,talk to Greg :lol
-
I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of his.
I think he's a VFL player and would be better suited to there than AFL. I may be a little harsh on him but to me he hasn't shown really his worth just yet, and I'll be happy to eat my words later if proven wrong.
-
ah richie until i see him use his greatest asset (pace) to actually chase guys and harrass them then im undecided, its the little things that will make him a good/great player, not the jogging at half pace when he feels like it.
5/10.
-
I felt a little disappointed in Tambling this year, but like others have suggested, maybe I too am unfairly comparing him to Buddy and others from that draft.
I thought there was a noticeable improvement in his fitness and his defensive game in the 2nd half, lets hope he takes that next step, he looks as though he could be the week in, week out performer that we need for our midfield. Go Bling!
-
hes improving, but he has a way to go.
where is that aboriginal boy who made his debut in a night match against collingwood, where is the player who streaked away from an experienced collingwood star and kicked a brilliant goal. find me that player- thats the Richard Tambling i wanna see. Thats the player we need to find again!

so do i but my concern remains,that his state of mind cannot grasp the concept of consistency....and he is lazy....typical of a child prodigy,which he was

he isnt lazy, blingers is a very hard worker and has a good head on his shoulders, dont worry , he will make u all happy , he will develop into a fantastic player
-
i'm with X, a lot of people don't notice some of the things he does because its all done in one quick action. Gather the ball and feed.
richie will be fine for us :thumbsup
-
I agree Blingers will be fine in the long run but if there's one area of his game that he needs to work hard on it is his defensive efforts. There were a couple of times that stood out where an opponent got past him all too easily (such as along the boundary line). He needs to display more intensity in those situations and chase down and nail opponents. Do this on top of what he started to show with the ball and in the guts towards the end of the year and Blingers will start living up to the high expectations put on him.

Royal's review of Blingers
Richie would have been really disappointed with the first part of his season, but in saying that, once he got dropped after round 15, he missed one game and then played the rest of the season in the seniors. He was a much better player once he came back from Coburg. He had a lot of frustration early in the way he was going about everything.
I think the expectation on him and that people rate him with Buddy Franklin has probably got to him a fair bit. But once he got that out of his system, he went back to VFL and really enjoyed his footy back there for a week. He came back to AFL level and we believe really took steps forward. He showed a lot of maturity and leadership, particularly in the last five or six games of the year, so if ‘Richie’ can continue on this upward plain then he can still be a very exciting player.
