Morale remains strong, says Tambling (Age)

[WA Tiger]

Sorry Claw so are you saying that you wan't Tambling in or out?? If you wan't him out and Post in then I can't figure you out mate, regardless if it's the Dreamtime game or not. Tambling deserves to be in the side instead of Post IMO.

hmm did i mention post on this thread.  i am saying tambling should be dropped.  it should have happened weeks ago and he should hasve been made to earn a spot by playing solid consistant footy at coburg.

as for j post yep play him. give him a block of games  unlike tambling whos in yr 6 and should be making a significant contribution each week despite form, post is in yr two and is expected to be all over the shop.
t vickery has been ordinary all yr but i dont see people calling for his head. even though 8 games in he does need a short stint at coburg.

the difference between playing tambling and post is. one is in full on development and the other is supposed to a leader. poor performance by development players so early into their careers is inevitable and must be tolerated to a degree. players like tambling well there is no excuses for him. 6 yrs in and we are still gifting him games after many shoddy performances on end.

the thing is if tambling was to go i would be replacing him with a like for like player.take your pick of mids and small medium defenders any one  in this category would be better atm.

Not sure Tamblings as bad as you think Claw and Post really didn't shine in the games he played or for Coburg, but hey I am not giving up on him yet. Tambling's body is not right at the moment and he shouldn't be played on that basis alone IMO until it is right.

Let him talk to the media. It makes him seem influential and important to club make up.  To the uneducated they might see someone like Tambling as being more valuable than what he really is based on these Mickey Mouse interviews and hence we may get a draft pick higher than his true on field value.

for a senior player at the club hes been ordinary all yr. i cant be any fairer than that. he should be made to earn a game just like anyone else. if injury is the excuse and its legit surely those in charge can see they are doing richie no favours at all by playing him in the ones.
on post like i said with the younger blokes sometimes it is not all about performance at the lower level. sometimes a block of 3 or 5 games is the better development process.

Mate all I am saying is that I don't think his body is right, IMO, I think he was pushed too hard when he joined the club and this is the result, he is not right on the field. He needs Cotchin rehabilitation time and management through the year and the pre-season ready for next year. I will give him another year and I personaly believe the RFC will too.

What's wrong with Richie's glute?

What's wrong with Richie's glute?

Severe tightness which means he runs the risk of badly doing his hammy. That's the reason he missed the game after Freo, which makes you wonder why they played him last week.

I have to admit - he did look restricted last week, like he couldn't stretch out comfortably.  And I agree with those that say we shouldn't play anyone that is not 100% fit.

probably the smartest thing you have said.

its a disgarce this guy is taking the field both because of form and whatever other excuse is floating around.

I thought the club had a zero tolerance on playing guys that were still injured

How hard is it to understand the difference between a degenerative injury and returning from injury?
