Richard Tambling threads [merged]

[the claw]

We have put 100+ games and 6 odd years into tambling. Why trade him for pick 30 or Sherman? When chances are his best football will be in the future...

Would only trade him for top 10 / 15 pick.

Former pick #4 shown he can have more output thaN buddy. No point trading him under value.

I think we need to get as many top 20/40 picks we can this draft but thursfield, mcgaune, Polo,

Tambling, foley, rance etc. Should be keep unless the deal is very good.

a lot of ppl underestimate how valuable picks in the 20's and early 30's are. This is where a lot of gems are found - usually players who are genuine more than likely prospects but deemed to have less 'upside' whether it be lack of pace, athleticism or height, they are usually more footballers than athlete.
 In the last few years alone these players have been drafted  20-35: beams(29), hannebery(30), J.Roughead(31), Shiels(34), Astbury(35), Pears(23), Otten(27) as well as a fair few others who will go on and join these guys as very good footballers. I would take any one of those mentioned well before Tambling.

here well said some one who values nd picks.  the real interesting one is the number of talls taken in the second and third rnds that end up decent.

when you weigh up the pros and cons of r tambling there is a very strong case to be made for trading him for a top 30 pick. i think adelaides compensation pick for bock is about 25 id take it and run and live comfortably with what ever the outcomes are.

From the RFC website....


Francis Jackson confirmed several clubs were interested in contracted midfielder Richard Tambling, with the Adelaide Crows among them.

"I've had a chat to them and the possibility [of a trade] and we'll see what comes and what eventuates at the end of the day," he said.

"There's plenty of to-ing and fro-ing at the moment, so obviously you need to strike that healthy balance before something eventuates."

@ people bagging players and telling all and sundry what duds they are, yet expect other clubs to give up top draft picks for them.

whats wrong with that?? Just because we dont rate the players as individuals doesnt mean we should not play hardball with those clubs.

Look at North a few years back paying over the odds for Thompson and Hay. Ill tell you one thing people involved with hawthorn were touching themselves after getting what they got.

We should not accept anything like a cheap tart even if they are duds as Tambling is.

Nothing wrong with reaching for the sky Daniel, just don't expect to touch it.

If push comes to shove you take what their worth. Clubs bending over at the trade table happens very rarely, besides  Richmond that is.

sorry i dont agree with the take what their worth comment, cause if thats the case than any pick under 40 we should accept for Tambling.

If clubs are getting 9 for Brennan etc etc then we should be aiming for a first rounder, no more or no less. If not then no deal.

Clubs like Stkilda who possibly have 1 more year left will come for someone like Tambling and we should be asking for the best.

[tiger till i die]

Knighst signed on of 2 years so can we trade for him?

[Penelope]

tambling is probably worth a 20-30 pick, depending on what you can then get for that pick.
Ultimately either directly or indirectly the club will want to replace any players traded out with players around the 22/23 age bracket.

The issue will not so much be what pick we get, but in effect what player.

I suppose an early 20s pick could be a first rounder this year.

[one-eyed]

The much-maligned Tambling, who has played 108 games for the Tigers and is under contract for another two years, will decide by early next week whether to accept an offer to join Adelaide, which is in search of some additional midfield pace.

The Crows have offered to on-trade their compensation pick -- for losing Nathan Bock to the Gold Coast -- to the Tigers, who are warming to the trade deal.

Richmond supporters have never forgiven those in charge at Punt Road for recruiting Tambling with the overall fourth selection in the 2004 national draft, in front of Hawthorn's star forward Lance Franklin, who was the fifth pick.

Still reckon we should get a pick under 15, but hey thats my opinion.

[Chuck17]

I would have normally been OK with any pick under 20 for RT, however considering if he does go I won't have to hear any more of the Repititive RT bashing threads I will take anything under 35

[Smokey]

...... however considering if he does go I won't have to hear any more of the Repititive RT bashing threads I will take anything under 35

It's OK Chuck, looks like we are replacing him with some 'ready-mades' - Houli, Miller, Grigg - and remember we haven't got rid of Hislop or Thompson yet.  Plenty of fodder!!  And let's also not forget we still have the 'recruiter from hell' on board. 

[Chuck17]

Yeah thanks for pointing that out Smokey.

I would hate for things to get boring around here

god forbid we support our players
