In short if he were any good then clubs would at least "consider" trading him in a direct swap for Pendlebury, Dale Thomas, Jordan Lewis, Jarrod Roughead, Travis Cloke, Marc Murphy etc. And I haven't gone near Buddy.
The problem is that we all know that other clubs would scoff at us. This is an example of how far he has fallen behind his contempories (drafted within a year of him)....

GoodOne said:Thomas, Pendlebury, Cloke you've got to be joking. whilst promising they all still have alot to prove. Lewis is a gun and Marc Murphy is pretty good too. Roughhead is just coming good now. You have to amit that its only now that most of these players are coming good. I put Tambling in that group too. If Tambling was a 20th or 30th pick instead of 4, I'm sure that people would say he's progressing fine. You see I don't care if he ends up the 4th best player in the draft because that is where he was picked. I want to see imporvement in a player and someone who has good skills to kick a ball to position and to advantage and to be hard t the ball and to be able to work well with team mates and want to win a game. Tambling is progressing fine and has already improved this year and will improve more.
Tygrys said:I think if you ask any Collingwood supporter (and most neutral supporters in general) and you'd would find Thomas and Pendlebury are rated higher than simply being promising, and as for Cloke didn't he win a B&F? (and in a team that finished in the top four last year?). Also bear in mind Roughhead is coming good as a key position player (you'd take one of them over 10 skinny flankers any day). For what it's worth I have no particular interest in bagging Tambling, but very few non Richmond supporters envy us for having him, especially bearing in mind he cost us a pick four. The general perception is that after having been such a decorated junior he has turned out as a bit of a dud. That's a bit harsh (although I myself have long abandoned any hope of greatest on his part, with luck he'll turn out a serviceable player), but no way would he rank in the group Abe Simpson nominated among anyone other than his most ardent Richmond fans and apologists.
Liverpool said:we should be drafting all our top-10 picks based on them being elite junior players and aiming for them to be elite senior players....
benny_furs said:Lol, you are a genius, of course!
We should pick the best young players in each draft.... then aim for them to be the best players at AFL level!!
We shouldn't be wasting our time picking the best youngsters who we know won't actually be elite at AFL level, just like Tambling and JON who we thought would both be superstars at 18 but average at 22 :clap :clap
Write up a thesis and mail it to Punt Road QUICK FAST!! :rofl
