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.

    Well... fair enough then!

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

    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.

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

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

    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).

    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.

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

    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??!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
