Richard Tambling threads [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

On todays evidence he can wallow at Coburg for the rest of the year.
We lose by 53 points.
Pick 1 Deledio injured Not his fault however
Pick 4 Tmbling garbage today no spirit no commitment. The free ride is finally over after today.

Hawks Buddy 4 goals
Roughhead 5 goals
The final margin in the end.

Thank you Terry Thank you Richmond Football Club for the pain that will continue for some time yet with a game plan that would struggle to overcome some suburban sides.

I have a feeling Tambo hasn't been the same since he got crunched in the Geelong game and injured his shoulder which needs strapping. Unlike Polo the strapping is holding the shoulder in place. Looks like he's going through what a young Joel did when he did his shoulder.

can't believe I am actually going to believe with wallsy 

truth is the buck stops here for Richie.

As a mid he needs to bust his gut running to every contest.

If it means serving a long hard apprenticeship at the burgers ala Foley, then so be it.

If Richie had Foley's work ethic he would be a STAR, until then he is an unful-filled talent who will live in the shadow of buddy

I reckon in hindsight it would've been better for Blingers to have had a couple of games at Coburg to build up his confidence by getting heaps of the footy and kicking a few goals before being brought up again and thrown on the ball.

[bluey_21]

was a terible decision to bring him back so quickly

Reckon confidence might have a bit to do with it also.
Amazing thing the power of the mind.
No excuses though, Coburg it is.
Has he played enough games to qualify for finals at the burgers.
If so will do a lot of good for him and others to play against men under finals pressure, albeit at VFL level.

he dont deserve to play finals for Coburg
why that will push out players who have deserved the right
let him watch the finals from the stands make him sweat & get the hunger & desire to play football

[Bull]

Reckon Sheeds would be great for Tambo's confidence and he would excel under his coaching.

Need 7 VFL games to qualify IIRC.

[bluey_21]

would have played 5 max IMO

Blingers' still got a long way to go and needs to work harder like most of his teammates but the kick up the backside (being dropped back to Coburg a couple of weeks ago) appears to have got him back on the right track going by what Plough says in EOTT:

Each week, his game is improving a little more and his attitude and approach to the contest is certainly on the rise.  Richie is now winning a lot more of his own ball . . . he had 10 ‘hard-ball gets’ last Saturday (third in the team in this area on the day, behind Foley and Tuck). He is not relying on others to get him the ball, he’s starting to go and win it for himself.

He lacks exceleration in my opinion from watching him ( he who hesitates is lost)

He's got it but Tambo needs to still learn exactly when to use it both offensively and defensively. The later should be where he starts to use it properly. Bump up his workrate and run down a few opponents.   

[torch]

he has the 3 year contract ... so he has a safety behind him !!!

[mightytiges]

People will probably disagree but I reckon Blingers has taken another little step over the past 2 games. Good to see him at the bottom of packs.

Just two things Richie. You don't play on and try to weave around and beat the whole opposition all by yourself. And watch the hips of your opponent so they don't get around you.
