Richard Tambling

Bahaha..

Its a football forum mate. Its better than going on about Jack Watts, Tom Scully and the fact Trengove cant get a kick.

Tambling has talent, but as most posters understand (besides you), his issues are between his ears. if one man could do it, Roos could.

His talent is unquestioned. His ability to produce it consistently at AFL level is proven to be non-existent. His issues are NOT only between his ears. It is also about the depth of his talent. He reaches the limits of his ability at VFL/SANFL/WAFL level. Let's leave him there.

This is up there with the thread where someone suggested we try to lure Tim Tebow to the AFL...

Tambling has absolutely NO inside game.

On top of that he is injury prone.

Too small, too soft and injury prone to play as a mid - plus probably hasn't got the tank.

And... Not skillful enough to play a crumbing role and has no football smarts to fall back on.

Come to think of it, he doesn't really have much going for him.

At least he has earned a quid out of football I guess.

Give Tebow one thing, he gets the absolute most out of himself, I'd much rather have him on our list than Cale Morton or Jordan Gysberts.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Well... fair enough then!

I wasn't saying it was a good idea, just an idea

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,680]

He's not the greatest player going around but he's still better than about 30 of the turkeys running around for the mfc.

[spirit of norm smith 13,656]

No . Move on ...

[Return to Glory 7,869]

I'm not sure it beats Tim Tebow but it opens the floodgates to any suggestion. I'm thinking Shannon Noll or Guy Sebastian could play a role.

[Little Goffy 13,076]

Luke Livingston is available.

[Return to Glory 7,869]

Yes Little Goffy, but if he hasn't performed in the Whitten Cup like Nollsy why take the risk?

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Good one.

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Oh, sorry. You were being serious.

[Ted Lasso 17,320]

Might as well draft Raph Clarke while we're going.

[Demoneyes 562]

A dud!

[hardtack 10,187]

Tambling cut but career may continue

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

This was definitely going to happen.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Before anyone says anything: NO, HE ISN'T AN OPTION FOR US.

shock - horror

Worst thread ever, don't even let the thought come to mind.... NEVER!!

Hey, I just put out a name and a link... it was all of the people contributing that made it the "worst thread ever" (and that "worst thread ever" bucket must be getting very full by now).

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,534]

Mind you, he's the poster boy for hindsight. Hawthorn was considered to have stuffed up their drafting when they "gifted" Tambling to Richmond at the time he was drafted. I think we can all now accept that Hawthorn got it right with Roughead and Franklin.

I think that was very much a minority view. There were questions why in the absence of key position player, Richmond took another small after they took Deledio at 1. Richmond had 5 picks in the first 20 in 2004. They took one tall and an ordinary one at that. There were more questions about the players Wallet was chasing.

[InVINCEable 358]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no and no.

[jumbo returns 6,619]

A no from me.

[Coup Cooper 610]

Worst thread ever.. This bloke is so soft and mind farked Richmond sent him to a shrink to brainwash him into believing he could play.. C'mon while we're at why don't we get Cale Morton back??!
