Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

I watched Tambling close last night, and he is such a LAZY footballer its not funny.

Shocking disposal, and will not chase or go in hard at all!

Run, richie run pleeeeeease!

I Sat centre wing yeterday TE an got to say I thought the same thing about his running game,the thing I have noticed about it more so latley is he seems to get a bit lost when trying to find space,simply he has to work harder.
I have to disagee a bit with him not going in at all I though after he got dragged an spent considerable time on the pine he battled well for the ball in the packs,an neally caused a steal for a goal on the Flank

His chances are wearing thin.......

Quite simply needs to work harder - Its that gut running I tell you about CC, he dont have it in him, mentally he is weak, and his skills are worst than I ever thought......

No second half Mildura performances from him ;D

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

He is far from OK.

Question marks from day one and nothing changed IMO.

I'm not a RT bagger but I call it as I see it. I would love for him to be a champion.

On one occassion (don't know who the Cralton player was) but he just didn't chase. Polo was behind Tambling, overtook him and just kept on chasing and nearly caught him. Had Tambling had Polo's desire he would have caught him.

Also is too headless cook-esque for my liking. Is lost. Just runs around chasing butt. Just doesn't seem to know what's going on around him. Has the speed but doesn't know how to use it. Runs hard when he shouldn't (ie when Carrazzo sold a dummy and ran around him for a goal - weak awareness), and doesn't run hard when he should - gives up on the chase.

Far from a 3 year extension at present.

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

there was one time when he was caught in no mans land (partly due to bad positioning on his part) and instead of running toward the player with the ball and applying pressure to the disposal (which is what every player should if they find themselves in this predicament) he continued to sit comfortably between both opposition players as they ran down the field

I've never seen a headless cook. At least they wouldn't cry when they peeled the onions. :hihi

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

Tambling was shocking. His defensive efforts were an embarrassment!

Despite the danger that I will be repeating myself – how did we pass Lance Franklin for this guy in the draft? Franklin’s first goal on Saturday night was so easy despite defensive pressure – and even though he had a quiet night – he still kicked three goals.

What an incredible oversight by our bumbling recruiting staff…

Not one club were going to take Franklin over Tambling,Hawthorn wanted Tambling over Franklin yes it may turn out a mistake but Tambling was rated higher by everyone

Cant agree more, he looked better back before the draft, so thats why we drafted him

That's no excuse CC. Even more the reason we should have been smarter than everyone else. I guess it was all those match winners we already had on our list.

That's my biggest concern skip.

I thought Richie was OK last night too. Far from our worst and was particularly good in the third quarter but I understand the concerns. Deledio is so so at the moment also.

I'm sure these youngsters would be excelling at other clubs by now, so what is the problem?

I have serious questions over the leadership at the club. Our senior players particularly have developed a contentment with mediocrity and a losing attitude that appears infectious.

Wallace has got a long road ahead to iron that out. I hope he's up to the challenge.

I think its a very valid excuse they took the bloke who looked the better player,better attitude all round better an for whatever reason he hasnt come on as well as the other.

If it was a situation where it was a bit speculative fair enough,but just about all recrutiers had it as 1 Deledio 2 Tambling 3 Griffin 4 Roughead 5 Franklin,I must say right at this time I would have preferred we got Buddy but a kid who has blitzed at the carnival 2 years running played outstanding senior football as well as an outsatnding game against the Bulldogs with a first rate attitude over a guy who dissapointed when the pressure came of the carnival an flat out said he did not wont to leave WA an showed a genuine poor attitude to been an elite footballer.Hindsight is a wonderful thing but any club with pick 4 would have taken Tambling an i think you will find if Hawthorn didnt have pick 5 they would have taken him with pick 2

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

I am not subscribing to the assasination or unhappiness re Blinga, Danny and Lids.

The kids are natural talents of high calibre and were rated as such by all teams so we were justified taking them .

My anger is in regard to our inability to develop these kids.

The main issue i reckon why the boys are struggling a bit is the fact that in there youth comps the boys are given much more leeway or given free rein top a degreee to showcase their talents and their games.

When they get to AFL with all the BS rules and zones and tactics and this and that are imposed on em they lose their spirit of play and have their natural qualities diluted, they become *smile* scared to make mistakes and then dont perform.

Keep it simple Wallet, give the kids their heads and let em play footy the way they can under simple instruction and team rules if then team rules ie man up and chase when we dont have it arent followed then they get dragged or dropped but take em of the leash FFS.

Immediately after the draft Clarkson said there were some good taller players, and that is why they drafted that way. He also said taller players take longer, so in a rebuilding phase it is worth taking them first.

Lids was a certainty at one, but the question remains – WHY PICK A MIDGET WITH THE SECOND PICK, WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANY REAL UP AND COMING KEY POSITION PROSPECTS?

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

The drafting has been a disgrace ive said it for years.

The worst effort was taking only 3 in 05 draft what a debacle that was.

Edwards looks good early and can play and i am looking forward to this kid running around for the tigs but i reckon we shoulda taken Eric Mackenzie or Mitch Brown as specialist Key Backs at 195 cm who arre burning over in WA at the moment. I reckon these 2 will bite us.

Whats more we shouldve culled at least another 2 players at seasons end for past 3 years but not done so.

One scenario i reckon would be good is Matty Spangher 194- 5 cm key back CHB or FB with agility and pace currently in his second year at WCE and a Victorian may wanna come home at years end, especially with so much competition for a spot. Bonus would be spending 2 years at a SUCCESSFUL Club wouldas taught the kid plenty in rgeard to how its really done.

I'd happily trade a draft pick or a Krakouer or any other dud for him.

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok.

I'm a fan of Ritchie's but i wonder wether it wouldn't be such a bad idea to let him play a couple of games at Coburg to hopefully get 25-30 touches to get a bit more confidence.

Make him earn his spot.

There's also the argument that we need these guys to get to 40/50/60 AFL games as soon as possible. Which way do you go? :don't know

I'll tell you which way you go.

You introduce kids after they show something in Coburg. You don't let kids rot in Coburg if they are showing good form. You give them enough game time for Richmond and if they show enough you give them another game and so on. If they struggle you drop them back to Coburg - same goes with the more senior players.

The problem with this club is that we give charity games away. We live in hope - hope that the kids will become champions and hope that the senior players will somehow change their ways and improve. Hope gets you no where.

We also have favourites and double standards at this club.

Richard Tambling has never played a decent game for Coburg. His pick 4 in the draft has guaranteed him senior game time despite poor performances.

Foley earnt his spot. He had to bust his gut to get a senior game time but is still being left to rot on the bench. He has dominated Coburg games and has played well for Richmond. The same cannot be said of Tambling.

Raines also. Has earnt his call up and has earnt his stay. Polo too.

Pattison to a lesser extent, but due to lack of big men we have to play him.

Meyer has had charity games and does not deserve a call up.

Tambling has had a free ride so far and Krakouer has had one for 5 years now. Tivendale has had a free ride for most of his carreer.

Who played well for Coburg in the praccy match? Edwards and Collins I think. Give one or both of them a taste at the expense of Tambling and they could surprise. If they are up to it they stay. If not back to Coburg.

It's not that difficult.

Does it really matter anyway? We would have taken roughead ahead of franklin anyway and he's turning out to be a melon too.

The big problem I feel is when the kids get a go they get 5 minutes on then there off, I too would love to see the kids played more but leave the Bloody kids on the ground TW give them a few full qtrs in a set possie
