Richard Tambling threads [merged]

[mat073]

Last night Richie broke his all time disposal record (28) beat the 27 he got in the Brisbane game last year.

Both games played as a running defender....Thats where he should play every week.

As junior vice president of the Ritchie fan club I couldn't be happier with his progress this year.

pathic tossbag, i have repeatedly said that deledio does not gut run and work hard enough when it counts so f o u imbecile

tuff call TT, that burst through the centre time on in last qtr was when it counted ...I know though, he is enigmatic, can be bloody brilliant at times and just great at others

After the Brissie game last year I said it was the best game I'd seen Tambling play

It got overtaken in a massive way last night - Tambling was sensational

Love seeing him being the go to man coming off half back for us.

His gut running last night set a benchmark that the entire team should aspire too

Tackling and defensive pressure was fantastic and his work off the ball (guaranteed not picked up by the TV) was an absolute stand out

yeas dean was great - it was a very good night for the draft class of 2004.

Even the much maligned Patto - did some great things defensively that would couunt as stats but he consistently makes contests

definately a night where most of our young guns stood up
deledio, blingers, polo, patto, collins, jack, mitch, nahas, cotch mguane moore and were complimented with cuz's brilliance and patches of browns class with newman tuck and joel doing their bit also

great effort

[WilliamPowell]

Again (and slightly off track) and I am not sure how it looked on the TV (have seen the replay) but Brown's 3rd quarter was very good, was one of the starters of the 8 goal avalanche

[TigerTime]

brown is class thats why he and cuz must stay on next yr

back to the topic, blingers goal was gold

I wonder how much Buddy's 'average' season has freed up Blingers in the mind as Richie did admit in previous years the comparison and criticism got to him. I know Franklin has still kicked 34 goals and I'm not comparing the two but due to his interrupted preseason and lack of fitness Buddy hasn't had much influence on games for Hawthorn this year and in fact Garry Lyon bagged Franklin for not chasing and giving away too many 50m penalties on Footy Classified last Monday night. So Richie hasn't had to put up this year with the weekly "Buddy-love" in the media and the taunts about us selecting Richie with pick 4. Averaging 23 disposals, 8 marks, 3 tackles and almost a goal in his past 5 games shuts up the critics too mind you  .

Brilliant first half by Blingers and a good game overall although he was stuffed towards the end from all the running he did. It was his workrate off the ball that was most impressive leading into space. None of this spectating that he has been criticized for in the past. No wonder he had 14 marks. He was bloody everywhere. That sprint from one wing to the other in the last when he read the game and knew all other options for his teammate were manned-up summed up his night for me. The 6 assists just made him even more dangerous. Virtually his first 3 kicks lead to goals. There hasn't been much to cheer about this year but Richie coming good in the past 6 weeks is at least one them. Well done Blingers and keep up this standard from now on .

I haven't been a big fan of Tambling but was very happy with his efforts last night.

[TigerTime]

deledio could learn alot from ritchie
this yr tambling has rocketed past deledio and so has jackson

and its all because of workrate and attitude

deledio and newman were poor last night and foley was his usual self, works hard to get the ball only to stuff it up

well done blingers

[bushranger]

I was one of the first to lay the boot into Tambling.
After last nights game I am more than happy to eat my words.
So this is me eating humble pie.
Well bloody done Tambo, I really enjoyed watching you play last night.

[Ramps]

I thought he was outstanding also If he could have kept up the effort for 1 more quarter he would have certainly been best on ground, anyway he was terrific and hopefully he can get more confidence. As for Deledio it seems to me that he is very very disinterested. Doesnt look as though he wants to be there and lets just leave it at that.

[Jackstar is back]

have to eat humble pie,
Great game Richie, keep it up.
