Who voted for Tambling? lol
Lol at the Tambling vote. Sympathy vote im sure
You guys just might end up chewing on those words. I just watched a replay of last year's game v Brisbane and it reminded me of how good a game Tambling played so I went looking at some stats and up popped a very interesting one re: Tambling in his 'best' games - they almost always tend to be against the best opposition.
In 2006 his 4 best games were 23 disp v Geelong (10th and building to '07 flag), 19 v West Coast (1st), 18 v Port Adelaide (12th and building to '07 Runner-up) and 15 v Collingwood (5th).
In 2007 his 4 best games were 20 disp v Geelong (1st), 19 v Collingwood (Prelim Finalist), 18 v Kangaroos (Prelim Finalist) and 18 v West Coast (3rd/Semi Finalist).
In 2008 his 4 best games were 27 disp v Brisbane (10th), 24 v Geelong (Runner-up), 23 v Bulldogs (Prelim Finalist) and 19 v Adelaide (5th).
Suggests he steps up when on the big stage and he might not ever win Charlie but I'm tipping he would be a fair chance for our next Norm Smith.
