Re: Tambling [Merged]
Seems to happen at Collingwood. Amazing how hacks such as Goldsack and Toovey can be effective.

Id give him another week with CoburgTigers of Old said:Out: Farmer
In: Ambling
Has to be played as our small back. If that fails move him on.

Jumping Jack said:In terms of natual ability he is a massive talent, but as I said due to reasons unknown he as just not been able to apply that talent. If he had of been picked up by a club that actually put money into player development ie Collingwood, I believe he could be a standout in th league!
linuscambridge said:It's interesting that you have named four other players who have also struggled to various extents to master any other position other than the back line. Tambling has been roundly criticised for his inability to play anywhere else, however he has plenty of company amongst the players you have named and none of those guys have been forced elsewhere or criticised for their lack of flexibility.
Barnzy said:Connors, Deledio and Newman would be putting up much better performances than Tambling has this year playing further up the ground so I don't get your point. Farmer is an unknown. All of them could play in a range of positions and do well, DH prefers them off-half back though. Obviously that's because they're much more talented than Tambling who is just an average player. Stop trying to make excuses for him, he now has to be babied to half-back, if he fails he should be traded/delisted.

linuscambridge said:Conners - played a few cameos in the forward pocket over the years but basically could not get a game or hold a place in the worst team in the league since his drafting until this year, and his rebirth on a back flank. He is a better footballer now after a few years developement at coburg, but any assertion by you that he could play anywhere else on the field but where he is, is just guess work on your behalf because he hasn't done it yet.
linuscambridge said:Deledio- no doubt not the disappointment Tambling has been so far, but far from lived up to his hype playing in the mid-field or forward. Surely you have been around this site long enough to remember the luke warm response to Deledio in his other performances further up the field. Now, playing back under Hardwick he is finally looking like a number 1 draft pick.
Agree her, think Newman's best position is definitely half back flank. A very penetrating kick and skillful and knows how to read the flight of the ball very well.linuscambridge said:Newman - It's been awhile since Newman played consistantly anywhere but running out of the back line. He has been there a long time and has yet to force his way into a regular midfield rotation, probably because his cameos in the midfield have been un-inspiring.
backman through and through. Too slow for midfield and not the tank required (yet anyway).linuscambridge said:Farmer - meh!
linuscambridge said:Best case, Tambling re-discovers last years good form and blossoms into another dangerous half back. Worst case, we find out he is just not good enough and we can close that chapter for good.

Barnzy said:I think you misunderstood what was posted. If any of those named (besides Farmer who is an unknown) moved to the position Tambling has played their performances wouldn't be as pathetic, in fact they would do well because they have much more talent than him. His position is not an excuse for his inept performances. I never said he sholdn't get a chance at half-back either, just it should be his last and if he fails he should be traded.
shawry said:Mate do you have any type of clue? I am pro-farmer but Tambling has achieved a lot more in his 6 years than Farmer in his 3. In fact I would go to say that Tambling's first three years were significantly better than Farmer's. To suggest without any that Farmer has more talent and would excel in positions Tambling has been playing (when Farmer has in fact been struggling to excel in the positions he is currently playing, playing ok but no where near Excelling) is just ridiculous. So what are you basing your claim that Farmer etc have more talent than Tambling? Tambling has a sh!t year no doubt but I would like you to back up your statement.
Many thanks in advance.
