Gloomy outlook on Punt Road horizon - The Age

[Little Jackie]

Tambling will have a very good season this year. Very good.

On what basis ??

Tambling will have a very good season this year. Very good.

On what basis ??

i think he is taking the pee.
surely he is because tambling will have a good season playing for coburg and the way he is going it will be coburg reserves

[mightytiges]

just a question, how the heck does someone play footy with stress fractures in his back?

does he still have stress fractures, or did he have them and has rcovered?

if his back has recovered, there is no reason why he cannot train with weights to put on muscle mass, if they say he cant gain weight due to stress fractures they are fos. if he had them, he would not be playing a collision sport such as afl.

now assuming his back is fine now, then he is right to tarin hard wih weights

butthey dont want him too, theywant him to stay as he is because he is not a body on body full back, he is a defeder that uses his closing speed, great reach  and timing to spoil and defend. they fear if he baulks up he will lose his agility and speed , thus their is no point in him getting massive as power feds are a dying breed.

good footy players are smart footy players.

we have seen joel bowden own j brown a few times, now brown is much stronger and biggerbut joel knew how to play him and has done it well

we need bigger bodies in the guts, in the midfeild. guys who wont be pushed over and brushed aside so easily

Another example is Birchall. He's no bigger than Thursty yet he's Hawthorn's main key defender because their midfield and forward lines are so potent. We don't have that luxury. Perhaps they also think if Thursty puts on too much bulk it'll put more stress on his knee.

Agree X about the bigger bodies in the guts where you need it. We also need more quality. We just don't (yet) have the depth to rotate 10-12 decent reliable players through the midfield. Get the midfield right and our bookends will be okay.

Where's the article "Gloomy outlook at .... (wherever Collingwood are based)".  They can't even win a practice game.

We're coming off a spoon, they were 5 points off playing in a Grand Final.

We don't have any respect, and we don't deserve any.

And Collingwood still haven't won a game this year.

This is my take on things.

In any world we should have beaten a 1/2 strength st kilda.

Not sure if you noticed Ox but a St Kilda side very similar to the one that beat us also just beat last years Premiers. Therefore going by your rationale, The Cats are destined to be at the bottom with us???. Carlton winning last year!! FLMFAOOOOOOOOOOO Says it all!! Come round one I'm sure you will see a very different tiger side to what we saw against the Saints. I watched Carlton against the Hawks and they are complete rabble!!

[mightytiges]

We played crap with no intensity but I would also say having Sylvester playing his first game at FB, JON starting on Milne and Foley starting and spending long spurts on the bench was hardly us at full strength either.

why are tiger fans knocking tambling

he kicked 4 goals v the eagles in one quarter, buddy still has done that, and eff these comparisons with buddy they are different style of players, have different body types, one has his head screwed on his shoulders, the other has a screwed up head

tambling will be a champion, no doubt

u think so. look mate your right there different players but tambling just doesnt do enough.
he doesnt run anywhere near hard enough, doesnt look after his own players like others do, he seems to lack confidence whenever he goes near the ball.
i hope he does turn into a champion but i have seen too many like him just disappear into the wilderness.

another average year this year and he will soon  be lost, like krackour

what drugs are u on?
blingers , from where he came from and the interrupted start to his career has shown plenty

if you have not seen it, it just shows u have no idea about footy

ffs open ur eyes, he hs been more consistant than you make out

and tambling and krak cannot even be compared

sometimes i post bs, but you even out bs me!

[mightytiges]

Don't want to sound to negative but....

Our skills are disgraceful

Overuse of handball

Shocking decision making

Gameplan???

This is a good example of why there shouldn't be 18 teams.

Lets kick around the boundary all night.

Surely we're not tanking already?

Embarassing

We are quite simply a VFL standard team.
Terrible terrible skills and decision making.

Karen Lyon must be busy at the moment to write the "Gloomy outlook on Royal Parade horizon" article

On what basis ??

Watch and take notes.
The kid will finish top 5 in our B&F this year Jackstar Onassis.

I'm with you Mr M. I have seen and heard nothing that says the kid will not improve again this year, something he has done every year he has been with us. Unfortunately for him he not some kind of freak so its taking him the same amount of time as most normal people to reach his potential. I think Tambo will do just fine this year, not saying he's going to be one of the games elite but he will continue to develop nicely.

[Francois Jackson]

Look apart from one game apart from the eagles blingers has hardly fired a shot.
do you think i want him to fail? i would love no more than anyone if he turns out to be a star and by round 22 i believe we will know more about him so i wont say anymore about him till then.

[mightytiges]

You would expect a few of our cubs to improve markedly as the whole team around them improves over the next few years with the same names eventually replaced by up and comers with 50-80 games under their belt. IMO Blingers will be one of ones who will be far more damaging and influential in a good side. At the moment he is still inconsistent.

[Ox]

we went improve.
no ticker.
