I think in the right environment he could blossom.

Right now he needs a change of scenery.

Depending on the asking price, I'd love to have him on our list.

Much better option than Alwyn Davey.

I think I'd even trade one of Jones or Warnock for him.

    He is an interesting one Tambling...Because he does have great talents,but being at Richmond for so long has that killed his spirit??

    Or as you say a new environment of Team mate could re ignite him???

    Worth considering....so many many players leave Richmond and prosper.

    Definitely worth a look. Not being the sole responsible provider and posession getter may help him. Would love for our forwards to be leading at him. Give him space on a wing him/davey using their pace and skills would be worth a look.

    I'd rather drink a cup of cold sick.

    Wouldn't go that far. I have looked and am not interested.

    I'd take him and I think he'd be a good get.

    I think he's critically underrated due to being stuck in an average team and average environment his whole career.

    Let's not forget the tiges were largely responsible for JON's career going nowhere because they never identified that he had learning difficulties.

    At a club like MFC I think he'd be a revelation.

    I wouldn't really like to give up Jones or Warnock for him though, I was just trying to stir up some debate.

    'E25', jeez I'm surprised, I thought you preferred your players made of harder wood. I think we need to try to get players that are fairly robust.

    IMO Aaron is about our limit, I reckon in any one team.

    Other than that, he hasn't set the world on fire.... What about that Tiwi kid, 'WJ' posted about..

    If were going to look at any lightweights, lets try to find a young untried Kid. You never know the potential.

    is this really a thread?

    richard tambling is the biggest draft disappointment since nick smith.

    NO

    Agreed. Small mid/forward without pace or awareness.

    Another tiger stuff up.

    Oh cool. In that case I would like to clone Hitler and play him in the back pocket.

    Worth a look but only if the asking price swayed heavily in our favour...

    Touché.

    I had to backpedal though, when I realized the stupidity of the statement.

    For a 4th round pick he would be worth a flyer. Might blossom at a club like the dees with strong indigenous roots.

    I am not in favor of chasing him hard. If he comes cheap we will have a look, because the truth is Tambling is anything but a star, or even good player at this level. He is now a fringe player that needs a change of scenery damn quick.

    4th round pick deal, anything more then forget it.

    Yes to Tambling everyday of the week.

    4th round pick and Maric for Tambling?

    Tend to agree.

    Wouldn't give something silly for him, but would be very happy to see him in the red and blue.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
