Just watched the 1st half of the Under 18 game today between VIC & Allies - Tambling is an absolute star.
Pace to burn (quicker than davey, wells), great team player, great vertical jump and mark, tackles hard, beautiful kick - the complete package.

Would be over the moon with Tambling at 1 (no way known he'll last to 4)

All I can say that if the Tiges don't take him at 1 and use it on Deledio or Griffen then we must be getting someone pretty special (ideal if we could get 2 out of the 3)

Exciting times ahead in 2005

I think that you will take Franklin or Roughead with pick 3
 
played midfield - roamed between CHB & CHF - created heaps of play and assisted 4 or 5 goals.

Battered Bulldog you concentrate on Isaac Mclean! :D

yeah but we have first pick so if we want him we'll take him.

Under no circumstances should he be drafted, he is little more than jumps jockey size with little prospect of filling out any further using fellow indigenous players as examples.

One thing to dominate at juniour level...need some bulk to become elite at AFL...would be a hairbrained simple minded pick...leave him to the dogs
 
The challenge is to find guys who can star at AFL level, not guys who can star at junior level. They are not allways the same thing.

He is super quick, and not just leg-speed. Even in picking up the ball he seems quicker than most others. However his kicking can be hit and miss if he is pressured, he is built like a stick and was playing against a Vic team with ZERO midfielders and ZERO pace in it.

A top-10 pick certainly, but not someone to get too fussed over. I'd be happier to stick with Krakouer and focus on other needs. Even if he does add some bulk and make an impact in the AFL it is going to be as a flanker running the ball, not as a genuine midfielder.

I still see him going to Collingwood at 7. The Dogs would be mad to add him to their list of similar players particularly after taking Farren Ray last year.

if we overlook him on that basis then we have to get rid of everyone one else who sprays kicks...

the draft would cut into the evening movie if we did that.

Surely choco and wallace can fix that. It's easier to straighten a kicking action than to teach aggression or pace.

I believe it will take three drafts to fix our list.1. Mids, 2, rucks, 3 Keys.
That's 44 more games of pain ,...accept it and be patient. if we try to rush it and go for a miracle cure...we'll blow it. Like we have for the last 18 years
