he had a career defining moment in the third quarter when he kicked that long goal. he was expected to and got the job done. i hate to think what happens to his confidence and regard in the football world if if he misses because we were up to our nuts in that game at the time. he had another servicable second half which is becoming par for the course.
not a bad effort

He didn't fall over his own feet he slipped cause there was a muddy patch there, a couple of players did the same thingSCOOP said:Take your pick. Thought Polak first half was as bad as anyone's. That is when the heat was on so I only judge people on the first half.
Anyway Tambling. Yep definitely trying harder but still too many stupid mistakes. I have to be honest when he fell over his own feet running through the middle, for the first time I had massive long term doubts. Still today I saw things I haven't seen before, held onto the ball when he knew Travis Cloke was coming at him and he knew that he had to hold onto the ball to allow the guy he was handballing to needed the time.
Is it just me or does Tambling put himself in spots to receive handballs that leave him with no where to go? No one gets more hospital hand passes then Tambling.

What about when Sanchez the illegal mexican immigrant missed a teamete with a 20 meter pass inside the centre square. Turnover goal
Joke

tha8ball said:I think Bling gets compared to the davies, davis, betts etc types of the comp. But in reality he isnt that type of player. Those guys are fwd specialists. They play as a pocket - roll up on the ball - type role. They are exciting players...but they are flashy. They come and go and they go missing often. Tambling is building as a pure midfielder. Rare to see from a young indigenous player. He is building in the Shaun Burgoyne type mould. I think as a 21 yr old an 18 possy 1 goal game is acceptable. We havent seen his peak and i feel we wont see it for another year or 2. Indigenous midfielders take a while to come good. Ill be patient for now.
