The jury is definitely out, but I think it will turn out to be a good trade. It's Ricky Nixon who is declaring it a done deal at the moment though not the clubs, so I'll believe it when I see it confirmed properly.
Aren't the Crows better off keeping their trade for Bock and use it on an up and comer?? Sure, Gold Coast get the majority of the early picks but when Tambling is involved, I would have thought you're better off looking at the long term gain by using that draft pick on a long term prospect, as opposed to the short term pain by bringing him in to the club. I think he is absolute crap and think you're mad getting him.
Agreed BC.
The thing is BC Tambling is only 23-24 he has his best years ahead of him. You may get a youngster that never eventuates into anything (luck of the draw).
Reading Nixons comments about where he sees Tamblings best position (HBF) he would fit in perfectly at Adelaide. Lets not forget he has been in an average side his whole career, not played on a HBF and a player like Tambling is never going to reach full potential in a team like that.
So to say he is absolute crap is extremely harsh IMO.
There is no doubt he can play, there are a number of reasons as to why he hasnt reached his full potential and i think that they will be fixed at AFC and he will comlement AFC if the deal goes through
Thats just IMO though
