Re: Tambling [Merged]
Tell me which ones and where you think he played then.
Not if you're simply starting on the flank and then joining the on ballers.
Would you say Ryan O'Keefe (and his 20 goals in the last 30 games) is a damaging HFF? I would.
PRE voting is a great way to guage what people other than yourself thought of players' games. It's a good objective measurement IMO.
Go on then. Give me reasoning rather than just making assertions.
Why is it such a big deal for people to posit possible reasons for his sudden decline in form? This type of thinking is far from excuse making IMO.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
O'Keefe has been playing alot of midfield and also gets alot of stopping jobs (like his failed job on Ablett in the 1st quarter on the weekend). In the last 2 years O'Keefe has average around 24 possessions a game. What does that tell you? Does it maybe explain why he has kicked less goals compared to some of his earlier seasons. One could only hope that Tambling becomes as a consistent player as O'Keefe. Personally I am not expecting that much from him.
I presume you didn't finish this paragraph. I've never said he hadn't played any good games. In fact I think you will find I may have voted for him more than once myself. In particular that West COast game was one of the best games I have seen him play.
Not sure what reasoning you want. I base it on the games I have seen, and based on my discussions with other supporters, and as far as I understand, many others here think backline would be his best position.
He's simply not a forward. He doesn't have that opportunistic flair of the more successful small forwards. Surely you can understand my point of view, even if you don't agree with it.
Hmm then you're not a half forward flanker then are you?Disco08 said:

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Personally been dissapointed with Richie in 2010, looks to be moving well and doing some good things, just IMHO looks to be really lacking intensity, he is of course getting games under Dimma so Im happy if Dimma says his pulling his weight

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Over 100 games and its still being debated where his best position is.
It seems as if some are still trying to find a position for him.
Pity he hasn't made a position "his own". Its not as if he hasn't had ample opportunity.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Well put Willo, no doubt played his best footy at the easiest position in the AFL of half back, personally love to see him work hard at becoming an impacting wingmanwillo said:
Re: Tambling [Merged]
I think you'll find that Hardwick will wake up to this fact and play Tambling in the back half. This will also release Deledio into the middle where he needs to play if we are to improve. Tambling, Connors, Newman and Webberly as running backs and Deledio, Martin, Cotchin and Foley as core on-ballers is a solid group.
Leysey, don't forget Cuthbertson.

I don't remember saying he should be a forward. I said I (and others) thought his best games have been playing the roaming HFF role, which is the one I described before.
Me either.
Tambling did average 21 touches last year (basic stats are OK to use ATM?) and more than that after Rawlings found his spot, which IMO was similar to the one O'Keefe plays.
Maybe it is. I'm only disagreeing with you over which games he actually played that role.
That's it.
If it is intensity then he really needs to have a run in the 2's and needs to go. The club's showed good faith in him and that's no way to reward it.
I also agree with whoever said he hasn't made any position his own. He's been moved around willy nilly even this year but you could forgive Beavis for having a play around. The year's obviously a write off anyway.

I don't think it has to be Disco, like you said Hardwick is having a play around and that he is. No one knows what Hardwick is thinking and what he'll do with Richard, I think there will be two options, either keep him where he may see him as an asset for the future or plan to trade him and use him as a stepping stone for probably recruiting a ruckman or a key defender.
With 15 games to go Tambling still has time to redeem himself, it's up to him.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Being a former star junior player who was highly rated in the 2004 draft and given Richmonds diabolical record in developing young talent, some Clubs may believe that there is upside to Richie.
Any chance that we can convince Sheeds over the next 12 months that he is worth a first rounder for GWS. Sheeds loves young quick exciting Aboriginal footballers.

Copped a shocking injury. His knee was so badly twisted that by the time the trainer got out to him, his lower leg was turning black from lack of blood flow.
