a very eduacted prediction dyer but let me remind you griffen aint looking the scraggy type any more the stakes have bee raised i'm not taking anything away from polo.
Griffen is a much more mature player, IMO. Seen plenty of him. Just keeps going. Nice user but he gets plenty of space. (Cooney gets the guy who'd play on Deledio.)
Deledio is immature and has pantsed Griffin one on one. But he only runs one way.
For now.
Deledio- you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Good enough for 16 AFL clubs to pay close attention to, but I guess that's beside the point. I'm sure most people would rather believe a baseless prediction from an anonymous internet guy.
Out of curiosity how many times have you watched Griffen roughly and what exactly makes you say he'll definitely be better than Deledio despite the fact Deledio hasn't even turned 20 and you really have no idea at all how far he'll develop in the next year or two?
If Tambling plays the next 4 years (including this year) the way he did tonight then this thread will outdo the Krak thread.
One burst of brilliance all night paid the piper, not good enough, he need to show guts to contest hard ball, needs to run much, much harder to make space, and needs to learn how to kick.
He will be wasted draft pick.

I just don't get what others see in Tambling. He is the classic down hill skier for mine; cannot win the ball himself, cannot break a tackle, goes to ground too easily, shocking tackler and not that fast either. In a 50-50 scenario I start looking for the player his opponent will give it off to.
I must be missing something with this bloke.
I reckon there are 10 others I would have in front of him from the 2004 draft who were taken later - Franklin, Lewis, Bate, Dunn, Wood, Rosa, Polo, Thompson, Monfries, Van Berlo, Sherman - all seem to have a more all rounded game and in a couple of cases a far bigger upside.
Franklin and Wood have massive upsides in particular,

I honestly point the finger at our leadership. We just don't have a winning mentality at the top.
These guys were no brainers at their draft pick number. They would likely be starring at other clubs.
What the hell is going on at Richmond that we can't develop star players?

Spot on Toots , the RFC has never been any good fostering talented kids and developing them, also havent been any good at drafting many either 
Two names that will haunt me for next few years McKenzie and Mitchell Brown both drafted by WCE key possie players at 195 cm CHF and FB and we coulda had either of em, both are apparantly burning early over in WA and Spangher also back from injury and going well to.

Sad but true. Particularly the second paragraph.
Tambling was a sensational tackler and extremely hard at it as a junior, buggered if I know what happened. I don't blame our recruiting at all, Tambling had the runs on the board as a junior. No matter how scientific and objective we are on the draft table we will never be perfect-it is pointless to think that we will be. If anyone from that draft was going to be flaky most would have picked Franklin to be soft not Tambling.
I saw a bit of the Brisbane-Dawks game. Wood is going to be very,very good with another two years to fill out he will be elite. Franklin was millimetres away from taking mark of the year, if he had some help from thier midfield he would have kicked six goals.
For the first time in my life, im glad I missed a beer after the game with you Todd Ridley
