Disco08 said:Interesting these top teams see him as someone able to help in an area that we've also expressed a need in.

GoodOne said:Sherman per game: 43.4% more inside 50s, 23.8% more rebound 50s, 33.3% more clearances, 64.7% more run and bounce, 30.7% more handball receives, even 20% more marks inside 50. Remember this is per game. Sherman clearly works harder up and down the ground (43.4% more inside 50s even though according to you Tambling was playing half forward).
GoodOne said:Here is the damning stat though, one I brought up this year. Tambling had 15 possessions per game yet only had 12.8 disposals per game. That means getting caught over 2 times per game from just 15 possessions. Sherman (and most others) in comparison 16.9 possessions and 16.2 disposals. Tambling simply has no awareness.
GoodOne said:Sherman is the outside player who breaks the lines and moves the ball quickly that Hardwick is talking about. He would be a perfect choice as long as we don't give too much for him, PSD would be perfect, otherwise a straight swap for Tambling would probably do both of them the world of good.

Disco08 said:"If I had my way, it would be as an attacking midfielder that is allowed to roam free, but it never happens,"
"We are working on, how do I say this, we are working on winning behaviours. It doesn't matter how long it takes as long as it improves each other ... and we play as a team and win as a team."
Is from an article earlier in the year. Perhaps they've discussed it and decided the role doesn't exist for him at Richmond and they're happy to let him pursue it elsewhere. That might explain the press reporting that "both parties are happy to move on."

I don't doubt Tambling would like to play this way but unfortunately for him only the very elite are given the attacking role with a license to roam. I am thinking of guys like Goddard, Ablett and Swan.
I would be surprised if any other club would allow Tambling to take on this role.
I do agree though, if he is to be traded it will be to a club that is after a running defender, although I suspect that it is a position that most clubs would try to fill through the draft.
It would not surprise me if he remains a Tiger.
Disco08 said:If it's a role that we need to find someone to fill, I reckon it only matters if he's better than our current options josey. I don't think he's hopeless as a two way player either. He's pretty decent at winning his own ball and didn't get torn up by his opponents playing that type of role under Rawlings.

jade rawling loves him & bling played his best whilst rawlings was caretaker coach so will be on a pro-bling bandwagon at brisbane.
houli for polo looks about par for both teams.

Disco08 said:Also, not sure where your stats are from but the RFC site has Tambling at 163 disposals and 165 possessions. Martin has 8 more possessions to disposals. How's his awareness IYO?
GoodOne said:Hmm I see. For the whole season there were only two times Tambling didnt dispose of a possession? Think you want to look elsewhere for your stats. Pro-stats perhaps. For the record, Tambling averaged 15 possessions but had 12.8 disposals per game. Martin had 24.6 possessions and 20.5 disposals. Percentage-wise not too much difference but Martin's contested possession against uncontested possession was 46%, Tambling's 40%. Martin also had 4.7 1st possessions per game as oppsed to 0.8 for Tambling. We obviously know that Martin is an inside midifelder so is going to get the ball first more often and therefore is going to be caught a bit more than the average player. Martin is also 18 years old in his first season of footy. Why the comparison with our youngest player in the team? There is no doubt that Martin's awareness needs work. All 1st year players do. I feel that he excelled in other areas well beyond Tambling, do you?

GoodOne said:Agree totally. No speculation about him being an attacking midfielder. He can't kick goals. And he's no good in tight. Needs everything in front of him.
