Tambling (merged)

Re: Tambling [Merged]

I`m tipping (or maybe just hoping ;D) Tambling to have a big game on Sunday.

He got his problem fixed over Summer,he`s had a few games to get some fitness,a weeks rest to freshen up and we are playing on a big wide oval against an old slow team that hasn`t won a game.

He needs to play to his strength which is his pace,get the ball and take `em on Richie.

Yep definitely has plenty in his favour this week. Now if he can only find the desire to be a good footballer we may yet get a decent game out of him in 2010.

Re: Tambling [Merged]

I'll have him back in the team. Thought we missed him as an option around the wings last week. And at least his foot skills are generally ok. Don't understand the vehemence in opinions about Tambling. He's nothing special, but he's ok - get over it.

Calm down, you know what he means. Really if Tambling has been recovering from the injury and was not ina position to plaY to his full capacity then he simply should have come up through the VFL until he was able to compete adequately at the top level. I don't see the point in running half-hearted throughout games. I don't believe for a minute that the Tiger heirarchy would have been playing Tambling if he couldn't compete to the level required. On that basis I don't believe you can blame injury as the reason for his poor performances this year. It's just another excuse. Tambling needs to get his mind right, its been an issue in the past. He's been selected so let's see how he performs this week.

but yet......

mmmm...think you may be revising that one TTT. Rioli is a gun, could play anywhere and if you watched closely you would see he is clearly unfit/injured. Wherever he plays on an AFL field he will be elite.

goody, theres no assumptions here that is recovering from the compartments syndrome. it is fact.

another fact is that we are a young struggling team with very little experience and leadership. it seems quite obvious that the match selection crew deem him fit enough to play albeit in a limited capacity offering us more then a whoever else is available. while at the same playing a role within the group that is not all based around what he offers on field

Richie is fine. A number of posters have issues though.

Re: Tambling [Merged]

His performances have been mediocre, just like the club he plays for.

I make no apologies for wanting to see a player as talented as Bling perform to a higher standard than he has in the majority of his career thus far. We have seen glimpses, but that is not enough.

I guess many on here have learned to accept mediocrity, and I am not going to have a go at them, it is their right. But I personally am sick to death of mediocrity at our football club quite frankly.

Geez I hope you are kidding about this. Let's be honest now, this year Tambling has provided very little in his games. To say he can offer more in a limited capacity than those who are mising out on games is frankly ridiculous. This is Tambling, not Ablett we are talking about. If Tambling is being affected in his games by compartments syndrome then he shouldn't be playing at the top level until he can prove his fitness. Once again, I really do not believe the heirarchy would expose a player and risk their long-term health like this, and if they are, its obvious they havent learnt from past mistakes in this respect.

The way we've been resting players with "leg" injuries and general sorness says to me he's either in good health or they don't rate him high enough and feel he needs to play to prove his worth to be around next year.

PS. Can't believe we're up to 600 posts already on another Tambling thread.

well guess what? the coaches do rate him in a limited capacity higher then hislop, king polo and lots of others

That's your assumption that Tambling is playing basically injured or not fully fit, which is the case if he's playing in a limited capacity. This is where our opinions differ. I don't believe the hierarchy would be playing him ahead of Hislop or Polo if his capacity was limited.

Re: Tambling [Merged]

It could explain them playing him in seemingly less suitable roles.

we've all seen and read the numerous articles stating as fact that he is recovering, we've heard from doolz who has compartments syndrome and read how the affliction effects him yet you dont want t believe it

seriously mate, you're coming across as though you have sort of personal vendetta against him. he is recovering from injury

No vendetta here, just being a realist. So Tambling still has compartments syndrome? If so why is he playing AFL? He's obviously not ready. Think his performances are proof of that if indeed that's the reason for his performances. Get him right and then play him at the top level when he's able to play at that level. We can't afford to have players running half-hearted at the top level. Maybe harsh but as I said at the start you have to be realistic.

 

[Disco08]

Re: Tambling [Merged]

Agreed Goody. His form's dropped dramatically from last year. Either it's injury or something else. If it's injury, let him recover and come back through the twos. If not he's going nowhere unless he figures it out.

On last year's form he's unquestionably a top 10 talent within the club, even looking forward. We're going nowhere this year so there's no point rushing a return from injury.

Re: Tambling [Merged]

my understanding is that he had surgery on both calves and while playing there is no risk of re injuring or a reoccurance of the injury. if its just a matter of getting klms in the legs to get him back to his 2009 form then imo the coaching staff got it right
