Wasn't bad in the first game. Hit the contest hard

Wasn't crash hot either. A minimum requirement for any player to hit a contest hard I would think.

[mightytiges]

4 touches, 1 tackle in 40 minutes. Hardly an impact but he's underdone so it is early to tell.

[bojangles17]

reminded of his time with us, just zero impact

Quite a few blokes don't go hard. We have had our fair share of blokes who didnt as well

In the past under Dimma things are different. No pansies accumulating possessions and avoiding physical contests and most of all no excuses.

[Mr Magic]

Looked very short of a gallop but then he did last year too. 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Looked very short of a gallop but then he did last year too. 

He's proved to be a work in progress for the crows and supported Neil frauds view of his place in the side

[gerkin greg]

what are you talking about? he had a massive impact. every opponent he had kicked a goal or had a couple of goal assists 

[Dubstep Dookie]

Plus his work as an opposition fluffer.

Tim Lane on 3aw today:

"When Tambling was at Richmond, for years we were told they should have selected Franklin over Tambling yet Tambling playing for Adelaide had a great game last night while Buddy struggled to have any influence."



You can't be logic such as that Tim  .

[tiger101]

Tambling played well I admit. But consistency is the main thing can he produce that every weekend.
Mind you what figures did buddy end up with 2.6 something like that. So he had chances he just missed.

Anyways Im not to fussed we got a good deal for what he had shown while playing with us.

[mightytiges]

The expectations on Richie are different now as well. If he plays a bottom 6 role off half-back and as you say tiger consistently plays his part for the team then Craig and the Crows will be happy. For us if pick 18-ish in the 2012 draft turns out to be a good footballer and plays a key role for us for the next decade that fills a current deficiency in our side then we'll be very happy with that and it's a win-win trade for both clubs.

[cub]

Here we go  First game he was allways gunna be high on adrenalin.
Let's see if he can keep it up, nothing personnel on Richie either.

[Coach]

Thought he was good but I'm happy with the picks we got for him
