Tambling is going to be awesome. The fact is we were never going to have Franklin. Ever. When the Hawks took Roughead we had to take the best available and that was and will always be Tambling. Tambling is the full package, a play that will be very hard to tag. His performance against Geelong wil be an average performance from him. He will average 2 goals a game through out his career and go down as a Richmond Great, Mark my words. We will be comparing him to Matera, Mcleod etc.. and Franklin will be Franklin who cares.
Within 4 years he will be top 5 in the comp. I have never been so sure that a player will make it than I am with Tambling.
Based on the fact that he is
1 Talanted
2. Super quick
3 possibly the best kick at the club
4 Kicks goals, knows where they are.
5 Can play onball, or as a leading forward option. Plays tall or small.
6. Will be very hard to Tagg because he reads the pack as well as I have seen. ( when he played in the NT and in the games I've seen)
7. Has a Burning desirer to make it.
8. and is super competitive.
