I can more safely post these comments now, without fear of banning from Rosy(hopes), seeing as he's now flown west.....geoffryprettyboy said:No pleading from Hardwick to keep him at Richmond, really didn't see much in him and couldn't give a toss.

From someone who has spotted talent over the last 10 years, and is still involved at an AFL club, it's their belief that Tambling is just never going to become the player that he was touted to be pre-draft. His decision making and skills under pressure just never lifted to the required level.
He's certainly not the first, and won't be the last highly touted youngster to not 'come on'.
I guess we'll see if the change of club makes any difference. I think the issue with Tambling is pretty concrete though.
I have to say from an outsiders perspective, I couldn't understand the games that he was seemingly gifted over the last 2 seasons.
Flame away.

I think I posted elsewhere that Bomberblitz banned me for a month in the minutes after the Hawks defeated Essendon this year, simply because I was a Hawk. I hadn't even posted about the game at that point, and for a time most of my other posts regarding neutral games got deleted straight up, regardless of how harmless they were(made no mention of Hawthorn or Essendon players or games).Disco08 said:Geez mate, not sure why you'd worry about being banned for those comments.
FWIW, I disagree, as usual. IMO he had and displayed the talents you feel he lacked but for whatever reason wasn't able to produce them under Beavis.
Agree with most of this. It was the seeming absence of any sense of urgency that frustrated the hell out of me.theScabman said:From someone who has spotted talent over the last 10 years, and is still involved at an AFL club, it's their belief that Tambling is just never going to become the player that he was touted to be pre-draft.

Can't see you getting banned for a whole month scabby one, maybe a week or two for bagging a recent Tiger hero. Had hoped the Blingsta would perform a fair bit better than he eventually did, my blind Tiger bias was rammed home fairly hard last week when my Geelong supporting brother praised the Tigers for finally getting rid of Bling. The words gutless lurker were about the only ones he used that could be put on here without me getting a six month or maybe permanent ban. He was surprised the Crowbaits were willing to give up two picks of whatever value for him, reckons he'd be lucky to last two seasons in Adelaide unless he has a major overhaul of his approach to footy.theScabman said:I think I posted elsewhere that Bomberblitz banned me for a month in the minutes after the Hawks defeated Essendon this year, simply because I was a Hawk.

So I understand the team specific boards can be pretty quick to wield the muzzle.
Anyway, I guess my feeling watching Tambling was that he looked like he lacked the concentration or endeavour of those around him. I remember watching a Richmond game where he gave a looping handball while under pressure to Foley or one of your other mids while running through the middle. The player in question had to take the ball above his head and was subsequently set up by his opponent and dumped to the ground, and even though Tambling was still within 3 metres of the contest, he showed no inclination to follow up and help out. He was in fact 3rd or 4th to the two players on the ground, who were still struggling to gain possession of the ball.
At that point I remember thinking 'Geez, son, if you're going to make it, you've got to show a bit more urgency at the ball, and when you *smile* up, at least have the ticker to get in there and try and remedy the situation'.
That may have been a harsh judgement at the time, but to me, he just looked like a kid who was playing senior football, but didn't quite understand what he should be bringing to the table.
Those comments about him being cooked come from someone who has seen a lot of players over time, but as you well know everyone can make mistakes in judgement.
