Still not sure that his attitude is right. I have made mention of it in previous posts and then was told it was mentioned on the radio last night as well. Apparently, a lot of his problem is above the head. Perhaps a trade to Essendon might not be such a bad thing.Teflon wrote: I reckon u could add Armitage.....can jag a goal and be our Luke Ball.....with more run IF he gets his head right.....BIG opportunity for him and given our lack of Drafting option Ross HAS to play him.

Tambling has improved enormously - has worked hard. He is quick, can kick a goal and his skills are way above many of our blokes. If we orchestrate a trade for him - I would be ok with that. If not - happy for us to plumb the depth of the draft looking for teenagers
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

How do we pay him. He would want 300k and we dont have that.yipper wrote:Tambling has improved enormously - has worked hard.

Missed this SainterK. Interesting. I heard 30 minutes ago he was pushing for Adelaide. Interesting that you heard he wanted the Saints. So is he going to GC instead..??SainterK wrote:trade_rumours: Tambling has Saints as his preferred club, trying to work out trade. But Adelaide loom large with a better offer #tradeweek

Yes I agree with this, but I worry with GC having all these early picks, by the time we get a pick there wont be much left.Legendary wrote:May have room to pay him if we are planning on delisting a couple who would be on $100k+ per year.
Glad we are not actively involved.
Have plenty of young talent ALREADY AT the club ready to take the next step.
Need to continue stocking up on kids.
I love this club

What would you...not have signed up all our guns like Roo and BJ??? I am sure that GWS would love to have either.Rice Paper wrote:
Surely this is List Mis - management?
In the most compromised draft in years we are going to stock up with teenagers? In a normal draft we struggle to draft decent players yet now we are going young with our 1st pick being in the 20s? NO wonder Mathew Drain has been given the arse.
We have been in the last two GF's straight. It would be hard to not be at about 100% of your salary cap in such circumstances.
Given the bulge of players 26-31 on our list a few more kids will not go astray. Otherwise in 3-4 years we will be completely rooted.
The Cats with continued success battled salary cap problems and started losing players due to lack of dollars and opportunity.
Question is can we trade in better than our young emerging talent???
Who are you going to trade in?Rice Paper wrote: Gardner is going to have stem cell treatment on his bad knee and other operations to get up for next year, isn't time for a new ruck combo? Free up his wage and trade someone in, I'm worried if we are going into 2011 with the same list.
Clarke is staying at the lions...and if he had gone it was to return to SA.
Hampson wants to go home to Adelaide. If you got him you would probably have to offload Ben.

May see a lot of clubs, including StKilda drafting players out of VFL, SANFL , WAFL this seaosn, especially after round 1. Plenty of players not draftedin last couple yeras go there and their bodies mature and then are better prospects.
Even our list Fisher, Jones, Stanely cam from SANFL or WAFL and have / are developing nicely. There will be plenty more out there also may just take a little longer.
the other thingis Stkilda have drafted a lot of young 18 years olds/ 17 year olds in last couple years so they will take a little longer.
No reason IMO why Steven, Stanley, Miles, Simpkins cannot be the next Mccaffer, Blair, Brown, etc in 2011.

For the second time in two years we've been defeated in a Grand Final by a team with very few other-club players. And how did our foreign legion stand up when the chips were down? Pretty poorly, actually.
Our best across the finals were homegrown: Goddard, Hayes, Riewoldt, Gwilt, Fisher, Gilbert.
So let's not recruit any more mercenaries and develop our own stars.

i'm not saying that we want/ can afford or will get him. i'm just saying the culture at richmond is so unbelievably poor and that he's not a bad player.plugger66 wrote:How do we pay him.
