Re: Tambling [Merged]
Having been to all Melbourne games this year... I am sick of having to watch below par efforts from Tambling. We can have the excuses such as niggles, sleepless nights & what ever else, it doesn't help the fact that he isn't positively affecting the outcome for the Tigers. If we can trade him, do it. If he tears it up at his new club, good for him. No point holding on to him just in case he comes good.
People talk of his 'purple patch' last season.... that wasn't a purple patch, it was what is expected of a guy who has played 100 games (the majority gifted). He strung together half a season of reasonable football. For what ever reason he was terrible again this year. I'd at a guess suggest if he has played 100 games, no more than 15 would have been above mediocre.
If a trade is available, take it Tigers, whether it is Houli or a draft pick, I reckon it is a win.

Don't think North would agree with you. Got a decent result from the Gibson deal.

Well after North's trades for Hay and Thompson.... maybe they were feeling guilty.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
I thought Richie had turned the corner last year. He looked to be taking genuine strides towards becoming a good AFL player.
However this year was a massive disappointment. He honestly played like he'd rather be somewhere else.
The injuries may well be a reason for it but alarm bells are ringing for mine when a running player has had compartmental syndrome and surgery on both calves and hips.
Hopefully a team out there thinks he has the potential to be the next McLeod but after 6 years I have stopped holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
I agree we should strike whilst the iron is hot and look for the best deal we can get. Somewhere around pick 30 would be a decent result.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Some clubs out there might believe his lack of form this year is injury related. I think he still has reasonable currency.
You obviously still think he's worth plenty.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
I wonder what all the talk of Tambo will do to his mind-set and self-esteem if he stays at Tigerland. He seems to be a bit of a confidence player to me. I hope he can come out next season and let his footy do the talking, wherever he might be playing.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
Yeah maybe a touch lower if we're lucky.
I think he is very replaceable.
Perhaps played some part but in the games I saw live there looked to be more to it to me.
I don't believe our medical staff is that negligent to play him if he wasn't largely fit to play.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
The footy dept have had a real long look at him this year and will have all the details regarding injuries etc. If they decide it's time to trade him, whether at his lowest price or not then I'll not complain too much whichever way they go.
Tend to agree but I do remember early 09 when the RFC fans started the bronx cheers whenever Tambo got the ball (twice or 3 times for the whole match I think). He was then dropped, came back into the squad and started his 09 purple patch. So I'm not sure how Bling's mind works when it comes to criticism from the fans.
