Richard Tambling threads [merged]

tambo is made of the right stuff dont worry about that

Wow this horribly a different tune then after his W.B game.

i never bagged tambo after the bulldogs game, i understood why he had a slightly worse game than deledio, tambling never trained all week and had fa sleep, should not have been selected. he has had one bad game this year, better than most
by the time his career is up, he will prove why he should have been no 1 pick! dont wrry about that

All quiet on the much maligned Richie front. His past 3 weeks must have been decent  .

If he can get his goalkicking on the run from 40-50m out sorted out he'll be even better. So a 27 possession game turns into 27 possession plus 2-3 goals. Kick through the ball always Blingers. Mind you it'd be easier for him to kick more goals for us if his teammates after receiving the ball from Richie actually look and see him sprinting into an open forward 50 with no one between him and the goals instead of passing to a contest with 1 Tiger up against 2 Brisbane players  . Not sure if this play was picked up on the tv (we were kicking to the Richmond end) but it was comical if you were at the ground and summed up the whole day. You can blame Wallace for some things but geez some of our tunnel vision players are just plain dumb  .

jon was the main culprit , hence he has been dropped

He might have been a culprit but he wasn't the only one by a long stretch.  Some of our most experienced and talented players were just as culpable.

[TigerTime]

true , i have faith jon, but at times he took forever to deliver inside 50, but really it wasnt his fault either that our fed line played like statues

Make that 4. An alright game but Richie is starting to show some decent level of consistency where even an alright game is still contributing - 19 possies, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 8 inside 50s and a goal.

Has still only had the one bad game all year and should never have played in it
Had raised the bar again this year, will shine with more quality around him

[bojangles17]

it's terrific to see RT playing with some confidence in his game, best I have seen him play over 2-3 weeks ...he's lifted from first few rounds

[Infamy]

Including his crap game against the dogs, he is performing better year on year as he has every year of his career

Averages

2005 6.0 Kick 3.2 Hand 9.3 Disp 3.4 Mark 0.8 Goal 2.1 Tack
2006 8.4 Kick 3.6 Hand 12.0 Disp 4.4 Mark 0.7 Goal 2.3 Tack
2007 8.0 Kick 5.6 Hand 13.6 Disp 4.7 Mark 0.9 Goal 2.5 Tack
2008 9.2 Kick 8.3 Hand 17.5 Disp 5.1 Mark 0.5 Goal 3.3 Tack
2009 10.5 Kick 8.2 Hand 18.7 Disp 6.3 Mark 0.7 Goal 2.0 Tack (from 6 games so far)

He also seems to be getting better as the year goes on, so hopefully by the end of the season he will be averaging over 20 disposals per game. Remember, he's still only 22 years old.

It's not only that Richie is getting bigger numbers now on a more consistent basis but he's beginning to get it as far as understanding the game. He's no longer running around like he is lost out there. He's starting to run to the right spots to provide an option and receive the footy and he's now having an impact on games. There's still improvement required of course but as you say Infamy he's still only 22.

Richie is now my favourite player.....I cant explain...just love an underdog I guess.

When Richie kicked that goal in the third...the noise I made must of been heard for miles.

[cub]

I dont mind Richie but I still cringe when he has it .... may get over it in time.

And this type of output still doesn't satisfy some on here.  It wouldn't matter if he won 2 Brownlows - prejudices run deep in some people.
