More improvement from Tambling? No really, you don't watch him play do you? Well perhaps actually seeing he averaged around 2 more disposals this year than in 2006. Averaging 13.6 disposals for a third year midfielder is normal right?
I dunno what you're smoking mate. Richmond won 3 games last year. But yes, a 30 year old ruckman coming off an injury riddled year and a middle aged player with chronic knee problems will sure get you those extra 9 wins you need to get into the top 8. Oh and I forgot about Tamblings 2 more disposals on average next year, bound to get Richmond finals action. |
Right...so an 119 point loss is about right for the second best team in the comp?
The last time we played Geelong, we lost by 70...
And, if you use your mentalitiy on the Port list, Tredrea will never get another goal for gods sake- an old forward coming off a serious knee injury- best of both worlds- age and injury.
And players tend to improve until theyre about 25 or 26...tamblings, what- 21?
You are the most pessimistic bloke goin around- is the world gonna end soon?...one day it will come back to bite you when Lade and Cornes (Simmonds and Coughlan) are taken from your team and you finish lower than expected- youll whinge injuries gottya, but no one will have sympathy.
Tambling averaged 13 disposals in his 3rd year, while the "recruit of the year" Rodan, in his 6th year, averaged only 3 more disposals. If Tambling continues to improve at a rate of 2 disposals per year, thn by his 6th year, he would be averageing 19 posessions- yes, three more than Rodan. But, the people who actually see what Tambling does, rather than what he doesnt do- the optimistic people in the world- realise he'll improve by more than 2 posessions per year from now until his 6th year, and will be a very good player for the RFC.
