Richard Tambling threads [merged]

In defence of Tambo, I can see steady improvement. A slow & Steady approach will make him a sustainable and highly consistent player of the future. I feel he is a late bloomer ala Michael Long and we need to keep the faith. We will have to change his nickname to "Pantene" It won't heppen overnight but it will heppen!

I'm with you tiga about Blingers . Richie has just got to forget about what pick he was drafted with and all that garbage and just focus on getting the best out of his game in the midfield. Towards the end of the year he went up another level IMO. Started getting under packs, win his own ball and becoming a scoring midfielder. Still like a number of our youngsters he needs to work harder especially when he doesn't have the ball. Use his speed to chase harder to put pressure on and nail tackles. At times opponents would get past him too easily. If Tambo improves that side of his game he'll become a absolute gun for us.

Not a drop of tears from me. It's a dead issue. It's an old issue. It's a pointless concern.

we should drop this issue and just support blingers

I give Richie my full support but i agree with Ramps on this one.

We all know that hindsight is a wonderful thing and Buddy had a lot of issues hanging over his head but his performance yesterday pretty much stamped him as the hottest property going around in the AFL.

Hopefully Tambo can have a strong pre-season and build on his form over the last 4 games.

Agree GB.

It takes a great team not a great individual to win a flag anyway. That team played today against the Roos. We need to develop a strong list to build a great team.

There is a lot to like about the way Hawthorne are playing at the moment, roughead and franklin are looking good. If this side is still together in another 2 years then they are going to be a force to reckon with. I just hope that we don't just turn out to be another bulldogs side.

At least Tambling shows something, I am starting to have tears well up in my eyes about JoN.

What on earth were the recruiters thinking!!!!

He still does if you believe the stories about him being one issue away from a big issue.

the franklin , tambling issue is well and truely dead. but certain people at the rfc and on this site need to admit, tambling will never be as good as franklin, and never will. just admit we made the wrong call.

not if ritchie comes out next year and wins say a brownlow, and someone gets struck out.
