Very interesting stats that don't look too for little Daisy.

Thomas wins for me because he will go down as the worst number 2 pick in the last 10 years. Luke Livingston saved Tambling @ number 4

I accidently chose Tambling, but Thomas is better.

Tambling has improved this year, Thomas stagnated.

Have you forgotten about Andrew Walker? Clearly the worst number 2 pick in the last decade.

Gumbleton may yet turn out to be the biggest waste of any draft pick ever. Hard to tell yet, he hasn't had a possession.

Funny you should bring up Gumbleton, your mob would kill for a talent like him. A gifted, young forward to help out Fevola? Something Carlton can only dream of.

tim walsh, farren ray, livingston (as pointed out), kennedy, Polak, fryzie, mark bolton, mark kinnear have all been worse than tambling

A classic poll. lol. 2 flawed disappointments. Tambling does at least get his own ball across the HB line, and attempts "to take them on", but has a surprising habit of running directly into an opponent or kicking it directly to an opponent. He's a great little battler, but I've never seen a player with worse awareness. Thomas is more disappointing because he seems to have been given an exemption from team-oriented footy. Caught up in his HUN lift-outs, but lacking in terms of commitment, preparation and skill execution on gameday.

Thomas > Tambling. Tambling is awful.

Thomas.

It's amusing reading the responses here. This time in Ablett's career, he was coming off some sub-10 disposal matches. Same with Didak. Same with Chapman. This kid oozes talent, oozes class, he is going to be an absolute star. A little more muscle and core strength, with a bigger tank, and he will be a top-tier midfielder. Players like Dale take time to develop, people can't get this through their heads. I'll look forward to seeing all of these threads bumped in a couple of years.

what a gag

Yeah, when he debuts in 2016

It's sickening how disrespectful people are towards Bling.

He's a ****in' gun.

I was going to post this poll a while ago, but I just assumed it would get hijacked by Collingwood fans.

I think Tambling gets more criticism than Thomas. Dale manages to pull down a nice grab or kick a freakish goal each week which is highlighted and therefore his other inadequacies are forgotton. Tambling doesn't do this, and his weaker points are spoken of more readily.

However, in terms of output they are somewhat similar. The reality is, for all of their promise, they don't deliver what's expected of them. Thomas plays a pretty selfish game and is overrated, but he is young and has time to develop. One can't deny he has potential. Tambling tries hard, but doesn't seem to execute all that well. There is no question he can be better than what he is too.

I think its an interesting comparison personally, so good poll
