Re: Richard Tambling

Why is he called Buddy anyway? Must be from Margaret River.

Apparently the name buddy was given to him cause his attitude and aura is similar to buddy love from the movie The Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis.

In other words, he's a schizo.....

A bit early to be using the term "champion", don't you think? Geez that term gets thrown around so easily these days.

Spot on Zips to many commentators use all these terms to loosely, Tim Lane was calling young Murphy from Carlton a star, he is promising and looks like being a star in the future but lets face it he aint no star just at the minute.

At least he knew the player's name. The commentary team was rusty as.

I think his dad has been calling that since he was young, and it just stuck.

Re: Richard Tambling


I feel sorry for this young bloke because no matter where he was drafted to, it was going to go this way. As previously mentioned (early in this thread), we must give him the time and opportunity to deliver otherwise what on earth do we do with him. Sooner or later he will (need to) deliver the goods, or he will (need to) be axed.

He would have to kick 20 goals from the boundary to get me back, because this is the way he was dressed up, an excitement machine, by all and sundry back when we got him.

Back yard crowd pleasers are a far cry from where he is right now.

Should PRE tone the excitement down RST?
Using a current AFL player, to what level would be acceptable?

Re: Richard Tambling

Excellent post benny.
If RT turns out to be anywhere near as good as McLeod I'll be thrilled.
Be interesting to see how McLeod went in his third season statistically. Stepped it up considerably I imagine. I'd hope Bling does too.

Personally, I would like to see minutes per game as another comparison.

Re: Richard Tambling

this is where stats can "lie" i dont doubt RT has ability , its the unforced basic skill errors by hand and foot that irritate me , if he can iron them out or better still eliminate them from his game completely this guy can be anything , so far RT reminds me too much of ex tiger Michael Mitchell for me too get too excited .

Perhaps even Meyer's stats stack up ok against Macleod too ToO. ;D

Re: Richard Tambling

Must say I didnt rate Mcleod all that high after his first couple of seasons,but then Blight put him to the half back line

Another myth.
Tambling actually has a very low error rate Rocky Boy.
He might fumble at times & make the odd clanger but he's pretty solid overall with his disposal according to these stats.

http://www.pro-stats.com.au/psw/web/team_player_rankings?yr=2006&rt=TA&fc=E10&tid=112

In saying that he definitely needs to improve his kicking at goal this season.

PS: Thanks for digging up those McLeod stats NYT, big improvement by him in yr 3. I think it culminated with the Norm Smith medal that season..

Come on, don't let good solid stats stand in the way of a good theory based on one preseason meaningless game. :

Re: Richard Tambling

The ensuing thread is now, not about myths, stats or one pre season game. It's about how we should be benchmarking our players. And for that, I respect this topic even more. Thank you New York Tiger for raising the bar.

Re: Richard Tambling

skills , the bar is raised so high i'm now in way over my depth , time to start the PRE scandal equivelant to the ACB " he cant bowl cant field" comment of a few years back ....
He " cant kick , cant handball " simple !

Re: Richard Tambling

will go down as one of the biggest recruiting blunders in rfc history. All Tambling is and will be is a highlight reel. Yeah he looked good in the highlight reel, but unfortunately no one told us that is all he does. 5 seconds of class here and there.
