Tivendale = Riccardi
- Thread starter The Mole
- Start date
Tivendale is just a running reciever who kicks a long goal on the run, he has no defensive side to his game, he wont chase, tackle or win his own ball, his decision making under pressure is appalling - unfortunately in todays game you cant hide a player anymore and Tivendale has passed his use by date - there are more balanced players at the club now to avoid having to play him.
Chaffey is a tough uncompromising player who reads the flight of the ball well, unfortunately he is slow and is also a poor decision maker under pressure who turns the ball over - again he cannot be hidden on the ground and younger more balanced players have overtaken him.
If either/both these players play senior games this year i will be shocked and saddened because it means our kids are still not ready - i doubt it though

The difference between Riccardi and Tivendale is that Riccardi has infinitely more composure than Tivendale.
Unlike Tivendale, Riccardi doesn’t constantly run into trouble or miss easy shots on goal - either on the run or from a set position.
Whenever Tivendale has any time to think about what he’s doing, he inevitably stuffs things up whereas Riccardi executes.
People go on about Tivendale’s physical softness. For mine its his mental softness that lets him down more than anything.

This is a ridiculous comparison. While I have never been a big fan of Riccardi, one only has to look at footage from his mullet phase (around 1994 - 2000) to realise he is/was a far superior player.
Excellent long kick on the run; kicked alot of sausage rolls from the wing; got many possessions out wide. Sure, he had lurker tendencies but I would take Riccardi anyday over *smile*.

enougth i say enougth.lets not even talk about gt being in the team let alone compare him to players who have performed over their careers.like craig im trying to mellow out over the silly season and all this talk about one of the worst performed duds on our list is upsetting my equilibrium.
Maybe Tivendale=Ricki Ricardo fom "I love lucy". Although Ricky had better vision downfield for sure.
