Re: Tambling [Merged]
how did this guy go at pick 4? ITs like recruiting GUS at 4.
Id be interested to hear others recollections in 04 as to why tambling was rated so highly?

Re: Tambling [Merged]
I could be making all that up though.
I think the under 18 was split into two 'levels'. The NT were in the second division and therefore Tambling didn't really play against the better teams and talent, so he really stood out. He was talked up as the best indigenous talent in the draft and Hawthorn were considering him/were going to take him at 5 if we didn't. We were stoked to get Deledio along with Tambling, Meyer and Pattison in the draft that year. Which with 5 picks in better end of the draft was talked up as something that could be a defining day for Richmond. It was, just not how we intended it to be.doherz said:

I was thinking that as well, but then I was reminded on here of the acrimonious circumstances under which he left.

Heard Wallet during the week on Trade Radio and the jist of it was - good character/work ethic, disposal not as good as first thought, couldn't win the footy in high pressure games, started to fall apart mentally when the Franklin comparisons were heating up.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
History shows we literally had no idea of what that draft contained..and nothing changed until 2010.
He was rated in the top 4 by every recruiter and Michael Long rated the best player to come out of the NT...period. The hawks had told him they would take him with their first pick but had a last minute change in strategy and went with the 2 best talls. Tambling was even staying with Gary buchanara in the days prior to the draft. Have heard Dermie talk about it and almost every other club couldn't believe how lucky we were to get booths lids and bling and how dumb the hawks were to roll the dice on a mega loose canon in buddy.doherz said:

Re: Tambling [Merged]
And wasn't Roughead at the BBQ at Clinton Casey's place too?
And there's no way in the world I take him back. We were the champions of shocking drafting/trading, now that title has moved down Brunton Ave to the Melbourne Football Club....

I think that can be applied to much of the last 30 years.

Re: Tambling [Merged]
I agree but Istill reckon the recruiters are the main ones to blame.
I know it may make a bit of a difference when the club gets them at 18 instead of early 20's but even when players like Fiora, Pattison, Polo, Meyer, Tambling, JON went to other clubs they did nothing so they were just average players to begin with

If Tambling was anything above average he certainly didn't show it
