Tambling's last two games.

[UpTheGuts]

Yeah I can understand the scepticism - totally. I've seen him look a class above at training (hardly game scenario and yes he was only against our list) so I guess I can see where they're coming from.

Could well be though that the guy who plays well on Cam Howat or Tivendale at training is hardly likely to be assured of torching guys in the West Coast/ Freo/ Sydney midfield in coming years.

We shall see.

 

[Bentleigh]

Oh please.

I'm more than happy giving Bling a 3yr deal.

good on him im just saying those whingers who bag buddy's attitude problems have no idea

being arrogant is not an attitude problem

They have an "operation Buddy", or a buddy system, where the whole team has to hold his hand and keep an eye on him whenever he goes out in public in case he does something stupid. That's pretty bad lol

Yeah true. It can mess you up if you're not careful though, eg Polak.

Btw I read earlier he once kicked 15 goals in just one HALF of a game...

I've had many dreams of Richo kicking 15 in the second half of a Grand Final (his last game before retirement).. then he takes a screamer in the square, the siren goes, he kicks the winning point after the siren (as if he'd get it from the square)....... uh, what were we talking about again?

Yeah, but sometimes they can get too full of themselves ala Nick Daffy!

the only time you get too full of yourself is when you cant back it up

i want guys like fev and aker and buddy around or else the afl would be boring as ****

 

[Bentleigh]

Young man showed alot yersterday I thought.

 

[lids2004roar]

His best half of AFL football last night against Collingwood.

Nothing we haven't seen in the pre season though... not that it meant anything

 

[abcxyz]

Yep, was great to watch him taking guys on and finding space. Finally looked comfortable out there.

And after all the good work he did in the forward line in the first half, in the last quarter when the game was there to be won, and Schultz was off the field, there he was running around the HBF. Why???

Hopefully he will back it up with another good game next week.

 

[PLSC]

he is too good to be an "opportunistic" forward

he is a pure midfielder and the more time he spends around the ball the better

please add deledio to that, he is too good to be a back pocket.

 

[Bentleigh]

Notice Blinga has a fantastic overhead mark?

 

[mrs_richo]

Anyone with the nick Vandenbergfan loses all credibility when they post IMO.

here here i agree. obviously he hasnt seen the games we have played. give tambling a chance to show his improvement. thought he did quite well on friday night along with lids.

Deledio is getting all of his touches at half back. Everytime he goes in the middle he gets a hard tag and plays like crap. But yes he needs to learn to shake that tag instead of hidding him away in the back line.

I was suprised of his marks leading out in the middle, his even starting to put his body on the line more often.
