Re: Tambling - FIRE UP!
I agree Colonel , that would get us back to mediocre ( 9th -12th ) , that's a realistic goal considering how far we have fallin' in ONE season.
I'd be OK with that kind of performance in 2008 , anything beyond in my opinion would be wishful thinking , and we know where that has got us in the last 25 years ( 3 ? Finals Cameo's I believe).
"Gotta Walk before you can Run" , Mate.
As for the 3 year extension (I'm assuming that's what you mean) that he was just signed too , couldn't care less if he was a 1 , 3 , 4 or 10 th Rd , that's irrelevant in my opinion , all that matter's to me is "Can he play and contribute , week in , week out , doesn't have to be BOG every week , doesn't even have to be in the "Best" every week , but he MUST show a Willingness to do the "Team Things" when having "One of those Day's".
That's one of the Beauties of this Game of our's ...............just because your not getting a kick , a handball , a mark , doesn't mean "Jack" , there's alway's that shephard , smother , tackle , knock-on , that contributes and in many way's can be more uplifting to a Team than those Glamour Stat's that in Today's Game are totally meaningless anyway.
That's where Bling has failed miserably in my opinion , hasn't shown any abililty to become "Involved in a Contest" if it doesn't mean a Kick , Handball or Mark.
Stamina seems to be a Major issue also , definetly doesn't fit into the category of "Stayer" and in this Day and Age that usually means one thing...........A Short stay.
So you think 6 years ( Guaranteed ) is fine to see if a Guy has "What it takes" ????........................Not me Col. , that gives them way to much leverage to just Go through the Motions in my opinion.
Max. 3 for a 19 year old , maybe cut some slack for an 18 year old and go to 4. After that , cut your loses .................Don't be to proud to admit to a mistake , happens to the best of us.
Good chattin' with Ya Col. .............
