Tambling (merged)

In baseball parlance you'd call acquiring him 'taking a flyer'. Usually a pretty good gamble to take if the price paid isn't too high.......

2007 stats:

Tambling - 15% (number of errors from total disposals), 43% (number of long kicks from total kicks), 17 goals, 9 behinds.

Bartel - 11%, 37%, 18, 8

Kerr - 12%, 31%, 8, 11

Chapman - 16%, 43%, 30, 15

Hodge - 18%, 39%, 23, 14

Buddy - 44%, 57%, 73, 61

Aside from Buddy, every one of the above (apart from Tambling obviously) had a higher error to disposal rate than Tambling did in their 20 year old season.

The problem with making statements based on biased perceptions is that you just look silly when faced with quantifiable facts.

The only way is up for the Blingsta. If he becomes at least half the player as any on the above list I'll be happy.
 
Source of pure frustration .................. nothing more, nothing less. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place ............ this guy is it personified.

Play 15 solid games in 2008 and I'll be happy, as long as 3 are sensational and to be remembered !

Stamp your mark "so called excitement machine", stamp your mark.

Disco, I've worked it out. You must work for either the RACV or AAMI, calculating Insurance Premiums with sophisticated equations?
Anyway, just for you're benefit, dont get carried away presenting statistics to simply justify the "biased perceptions" of others. I've heard all you're theories and studied the statistics presented. If you were Tambling's defence lawyer, the poor guy would be broke by now. Based on the simple fact you mention a name like Bartel in the comparison of "quantifiable facts", the prosecution would simple rip you case to shreds. So on that note Disco...you know I'm trying to do you a favour here.

What a load of baloney skills.
These aren't statistics based on who is the best player.
Tambling was accused by Rocky of being a clanger merchant.
Perhaps if you read a little closer..

At least Disco is trying to come up with some harder evidence rather than some throwaway line of criticism base on 'biased perceptions'.. :blah

I am intrested to know as to why two statisticians GPB , is one to count the effective disposals and one to count all the "c l a n g e r s"
 
The Tambling thread doesnt need any introduction now...it's well and truly warmed up for the start of the season;
Is he playing tonight ToO? :)

That's what I say. We've been waiting for a while in great anticipation. With faithful Christians they are waiting for the second coming, with Tambling we are all waiting for him to actually come for the first time, you know, get his act into gear, show us what all the hype was about.

Dividing the number of disposals by the number of errors really isn't that sophisticated Skills. I actually think the stats I showed were quite conclusive. For those of us that don't have superior football knowledge they're quite handy.

Perhaps you could act as the lawyer and rip apart my position which is that Tambling is not a clanger king based on the evidence I presented.

And just quietly, I don't need any favours from you, but thanks for thinking about me.

It's truely warming up.

I might ask the boss if we have enough in the budget to subsribe in one of those stats websites.

bro, this could be the dumbest post of all time

Then the message is simple Disco...Statistics are simple & Tambling is not a clanger King.

That's a pretty big call, Tambo has attracted a lot of hate over his three years

its maybe not as dumb as the krakouer supporters defending him for 7 years
