King and Tambling [Merged]

Rich just didnt look interested today at all, you could see it in the way he was running. He was just getting in the way sometimes. His ball use was terrible those 4 times that he did get it. He shouldnt have played, but he should take responsibility with all that, if he wasnt right he shouldnt have put himself in.

Many people hate Dermie, but I tell you one thing, he doesnt sound like a poet or a laywer, but he knows what he is talking about, more so when he just gets to the point rather than thinking of big words to use. He said AFL players know how to kick, every AFL player can kick and hit targets consistantly, but when you are put under pressure you make mistakes. Getting trained under pressure and learning how to use the ball under pressure is what we need to improve on. Because when the going gets tough, most our players dont kick well at all.

IMO the coach needs to take the wrap this time round. 5 years, crap efforts, same old same old! A new face and a new plan, not the same old cliche's at every press conference.

Do you think maybe he might have eaten too many chocolate easter eggs and he had a sore tummy.

Not outstanding but acceptable. A B&F, a rising star award, army award for courage not to mention a couple of other awards and you want to compare him to Tambling. Ridiculous.

As the only player in our team worth tagging I feel for him. Gets no protection from others off the ball which is standard for all good teams. The only player who can regularly hit a target.

I suggest Deledio would be near the bottom of things associated with the RFC that need to come under the microscope.
Ahhhhhhhhh yes the old Tag excuse.Thats Terry,s excuse for Lids.Get your own ;D
 
King is a tryer who is not up to AFL standard just like I raised a long time ago. I break out in rashes thinking how the rose coloured community can think otherwise.

Not an excuse, fact. With Cotch the only player on our list with any class.

Well Bubbles' advice back then had me stooged. ;D
 
King should try a career in acting. That was the best impersonation of an AFL footballer I have ever seen.

Not disputing about the class factor.Fact of the matter is Lids can be just as lazy as Tambling.I mean to go through nearly a whole qtr without a single possie or even worse a Stat is the very reason why i think Lids gets away with a hell of alot.Today wasnt the first time its happened.
 
If we could transplant King's heart into Tambling's body,

then..... maybe ..... we could have a footballer .

Interesting comment. Cooney has had the same sort of 2009 start as Deledio, quite underwhelming. Would he also be considered lazy? I dont think Deledio is lazy at all but I do think at times he struggles with the tag and today's frustrated attack on the Bulldog player showed.

I liked him showing some aggresion out there today, our players need to be aggresive, take the hawthorn approach of unsociable footy. For too long we have been walked all over and laughed at, when was the last time one of our players got reported? Stand up for yourselves and the jumper, make the opposition think twice when they have the ball. Where is the physical pressure FFS??
 
We swapped Bling for Nahas.

Tambling has never really done anything much but this week he had a baby (congratulations Bling BTW) and didn't sleep for three days as well as coming back from a hamstring injury (if that was true)

so my question is: How bad is Nahas?

I,ll say it again.Tambling needs to be played off the HBF.
Amazing how people go straight for Tambling while Deledio gets away with blue murder.Lids is just as lazy as tambling when we havnt got the ball

Please ::) You can't even compare the two. Tambling shouldn't get another game for the club after today
 
King and Tambling get automatic selection while Collins who has twice as much ability as both put together rots in the two's.

lol only at richmond

King last week.

The only two prior to that that I can remember are Howat first game last year, and Bowden.
