I'm getting a little worried to be honest when my favourite whipping boy Krak, upstages our no4 draft pick.
Despite being his Prez, seriously Richie may deserve a run with Coburg..... :-\
Disagree Oldie - tambling looking better with each outing - If he was with a strong side would already have exploded.
Was disapointed last week but his work better this week - I think Wallace needs to tell him to forget about zoning or sitting in the right hole or herding sheep and let him play on his instincts and to throw himself at every contest.

How do you justify that comment? He was hardly in the action whatsoever lamby?
Our no4 draft pick needs to start ripping games open yet despite trying to get into the game was virtually unsighted.
What were his stats?
checkside said:Even though he wasnt great, really he dosent get much time on the ground playing anywhere but the forward line. He probably should go back to coburg and play the whole game on the ball. I think the most pleasing thing about his game today was that he kicked 2 goals despite barely touching the ball.
Reading the stats it says he had 5 tackles, i wonder how many of them were effective?

Are they paying touches of the jumpers as tackles?

Don't worry about the stat book ToO, no stats will measure how lost Tambling looked today.
I shouldn't speak too soon, the Tambling lovers will say he kicked two goals, yeah, two gimmies!

Both Tiv and Krak have proved worthy of their selection in our 2 games so far.
I think Richie is still a bit light and careful consideration needs to be given to the role he's asked to play while he develops. Don't want the confidence knocked out of him.
Brettstigers said:Despite scoring goals Steve Johnson got dropped by the Cats last year until he started playing better team footy. I think Bling has to go down specifically until he can find greater intensity in his footy. If he was really going hard and had to rotate more often, due to lower fitness levels or whatever, then I wouldn't mind but it just seems like he is doing the equivalent of "coasting." Today's game was desperate man on man footy. Thought Bling didn't manage to find the intensity level in which the game was played which really helped the Swans given it was really a full court press all day.
Honestly don't know if it is fitness or poor positioning but I have never seen any gut running from Richie and when you do a count of how many times in a game he really uses his speed and then compare it to those who have similar jets, Foley, Lids or Newman (back from a broken leg). The few times I've seen him really move over the ground just isn't enough - particularly when we don't have the ball.
Happy to be howled down if I'm wrong but I don't think I am. Give him a third game to confirm but if his work rate doesn't lift then its time for Meyer for a set of three to see what he can do.

Disco08 said:Just wondering if we're going to have to hear about his deficiencies every week, or if we can give him more than one game to sort them out. Every player on our list has faults but no-one has them pointed out as often as Tambling, save maybe Tivendale and Krakouer, but these guys aren't 20 year olds still in development.
