From today's Age...
In another development at Tigerland yesterday a heavy knock sustained by Richard Tambling in the last quarter of the club's fighting loss to Hawthorn could see him ruled out of Saturday night's Dreamtime game against Essendon.
Tambling, who has struggled for form this season, came close to being stretchered from the ground and was suffering the after effects of concussion.
Should he miss out the Tigers would go in to the round-nine clash without an indigenous player. Troy Taylor is recovering from a cruciate injury and Relton Roberts is struggling for fitness having only returned to Melbourne last week after the club granted him leave to attend a family funeral.

For a bloke who supposedly never goes in for a hard ball, goes for the ball one hand handed and always avoids in and under contests.... how could he possibly have concussion.
Doesn't make sense ::) ;D

Shows you how ignorant the age is . Edwards comes from an indigenous background

Also thought it was Alroy who was on leave for family matters, not Relton?

1 game out of 101 he went in for the hard ball. The end is near for Ritchie, the longer is form slump persists
Ritchie is a soft downhill skier. He should watch Webberley, Jackson and Campbell Brown on Saturday. Thats how its done.
He was tackled and hit someone's leg on the way down didn't he. Hardly an inspirational act of courage unlike Webberley's efforts.
Thats how he got concussed. You can defend him all you like thats your opinion, but the facts are the numbers dont lie.
i did notice he laid 5/6 tackles though which is a good thing, ill give him that.

Alroy did go home for an extended period for family reasons
And Relton went home last week hence why he didn't play for Coburg on the weekend.
Caro is correct here

Firstly, daniel if you want to give out the whacks that's well and good but to make sweeping statements along lines of "1 out of 101" games doesn't give your arguement much credibility :thumbsup
In fact it is a stupid statement
I will say it again take off you blinkers and watch every part of a game, not just the bits you want to see and then continue with your argument.
And just on the concsussion if you watch the tape and take the blinkers off you may actually find that he copped a knee to head that borders on being a cheap shot by a sniper aftyer the initital hit.
And how you can even suggest that going head first into a contest at ground level isn't courageous beggars belief. Again take the blinkers off
And on the tackling you may find that he has been high in tackle count numbers all season
Finally the only reason I am "defending" him as you put it is because you are making the numbers (as you put it) suit your argument.

Daniel, I suspect you have Marty Feldman eyes. Apart from being a devil with the ladies, you don't have a effing clue whats going on right in front of you half the time do ya? :cheers
Oh by the way,
http://www.yellowandblack.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=11831&page=28
that link has a post from me with freeze frames from the Brown bump with his 'eyes on the ball' as you claim ...look again, try closing one of your marty feldman eyes so you can see it properly and look where his shoulder is too. He isn't interested in the ball.

Not your best post.

I really hope Tambling doesn't feel pressured to play if he isn't right..

i give credit where its due most of the time, read back on my posts and maybe i was harsh about 1 out of 101 but he has not strung more than 10 consistent games together since he was drafted. Late last year he was good.
Believe me i did watch most parts of the game from the little tv i had in front of me. I saw him kick a great goal, lay some good tackles but what next week and the week after and the one after that. He is a very inconsistent performer at this level. FACT!! He has gone backwards. Most players i would play before him except Mclovin, Hislop and Thomson.
Its a forum is it not and i call his game as i see it in my eyes, if you choose to like the way he plays thats your call.

does doing a upper case FACT!! actually make statements factual? Ill have to try that out. Do you have to stab your finger at the screen when you press enter ? or can you just infer it ?
I'm off for a coffee FACT!! Tambling is a good player FACT!!

If Tambling misses this week because of concussion l would find that real concerning.
l'm 99.9% sure he returned to the ground after he was carried off by 2 trainers.
So to me the doctor gave him the all clear to return safely & thier should be no concerns or reasons why he will not take his spot in the side against Essendon.
-
Does anyone else think we could have won the game if we put Blinger on Rioli - I still think they have a plan for Richie (defensive pressure) and he is taking time to adapt.
He can frustrate but I cant question his attack on the ball.

It was a couple of bad decisions that cost us game.
You wont tag a player completely like Rioli because he has explosive speed & skill.
We needed a player to try block his run & rough him up to try taking him out of the play as much as you can. But when the ball falls free you can count Rioli being at the bottom & he is so stuff near goal you know the result 80% of the time

You are correct Monk he was sent back on
But I disagree with this bit:
"So to me the doctor gave him the all clear to return safely & thier should be no concerns or reasons why he will not take his spot in the side against Essendon"
The question it raises for me is why was he sent back on? It isn't the first time in the AFL that medicos have sent players back on when they shouldn't have. Jordon Lewis anyone? He played the following week after copping a an almighty whack and they are now saying he shouldn't have played.
Also, I remember once playing cricket I copped a ball on the side of the head (wasn't wearing a helmet) and at the time felt fine, had small lump above the ear so I kept batting. After the game (few hours later) I am at the hospital with an massive headache having x-rays...

Then say that instead of making sweeping statements that come across as foolish at best

You are correct it is a forum but one minute you are saying he is soft, now you are saying he's gone backwards?
Which is it exactly?
Perhaps both depending on what suits your argument. Keep that up Iand I will have to start calling you "Jack Daniel" ;D
I will repeat what I said the other day, I don't think he had a good game on Sunday but he did some good things. You labelled his game as pathetic; all I have tried to do is point out that he cannot have been completely useless because he did some good things on the day.
the other thing I will stand by is the fact (note lower case) that he is coming back from a major injury that has impacted on a number of parts of his game, in particular his speed. Getting your calfs sliced open is not pleasant. Speak to anyone who has had surgery for Compartment syndrome and they will tell you it is a massive op and for a person who's job involves a great deal of running and use of their legs well logic tells you it is tough process.
Is he fit to play? Yes but it will take a good 6 months to get the strength back in his legs that had pre-surgery and the only real way it's going to happen is via playing

you can start with the name calling if that makes you feel better. Jack daniel john or whatever im cool with that :thumbsup
Tambling is both, soft and has gone backwards. As i said numbers dont lie and neither does the fact he refuses to grab the hard ball, most of the times. He laid 6 tackles great :thumbsup but 13 possy's is unnaceptable as i mentioned earlier. How about last year, his best year thus far yet only 6 games were worthy of a mention. Too consistent over his career. To think that some people bag Lids...hahahaha
Yes your right about one thing the only to regain his fitness is by playing, but why does it have to be at the expense of players who are fit and deserve a crack. Hislop as much as i dont like him as a player has got to be a better option than Tambling, surely!
He does not deserve to be playing for the seniors based on form and input
We can argue this to the cows come home, but if your selected your fit to play, simple as that!! Didnt see Richo making excuses up when he had injuries coming out of his arse throughout his career.
you have your views on him i want him gone to GC17. Life goes on.

Now daniel I am disappointed that you didn't appear to get the joke? I know my sense of humours not great but I thought it was pretty witty
-
lighten up Daniel lmao ;D
-
lol he may miss because of concussion what a hoot. if the rfc are serious concussion will not be the reason he misses hes been shocking this yr and really should be dropped.
daniel you are right he managed to string 12 14 decent games together last yr . that has truly been the exception rather than the rule.
he is back to normal we have had 5 yrs of ordinariness from richie but one passable string of games has him being hero worshipped by the easily pleased ferals.
ya know its hard to pick up on the telly very often but you see it with richie that is him being a lazy witness jogging between contests and never getting there. yep witness should be his monicker.

Just rate him enough to think he could have gone with Rioli and saved one goal - we win. We had our talls on him at times.
