That's right. How about supporters get behind him and back him in. Could be a gun. Who knows....the next McLeod
I think he'll be a lot beter than McLeod ever was
So you've seen everything have you? Yep Have you ever seen a man eat his own head? No Well you haven't seen everything then have you.
It's all pure guesswork as to whether he'll be better or not and I don't understand why people feel the need to compare people all the time. Let him try be Richard Tambling and improve himself, instead of trying to be a McLeod, Franklin or whoever else he 'should be'. Give him a chance FFS...
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.
Point is, Adelaide haven't had to sell their soul to get him.
Bock pick = second rounder sometime in the next 5 years - with the compromised drafts of this year and GWS reality is it will be 4-5 years before you could get value for this pick, which does not fit with the development timeframe of the current squad.
3rd rounder = luck of the draw.
Anyway, we can all keep trading hot air about it but at the end of the day only time will tell if it was a good move or not. I reckon it will end up being a win win for both Adelaide and Richmond, which is what you want from a good trade.
He is also a 100 game player, I think if anyone is going to make him into a better player its Neil Craig, I only need to look at Johncocks issues he has had and how Craig and his leadership group has helped him work through this. There is a massively different culture at AFC that may really help Tambling. I personally am pleased we have finally taken what seems to be a fairly calculated risk on a player with a fair amount of potential.

According to trade week radio (great listening at work) Jared Brennan and Josh Fraser has gone to GC, Andrew Krakour has gone to Collingwood....is that the end of Leon Davis at Collingwood?

I'm listening to it at the moment and it's not too bad !! Very informative... Interesting to hear Mal Micheal say that Brisbane are kidding themselves if they think Jared Brennan is worth 2 high draft picks...

I wouldn't we should have traded him instead of mumford.
I agree with that (the Mumford part), but it's obviously been done, and we can't UNTRADE him.
But between Blake (premiership ruck and resident loping gazelle), and two guys that are poo, I'd rather get more young guys and see if they will become something, rather than keep the two strokers who will never be anything...
I really hope they don't become our next two ten-year ruckmen...

On the AdelaideNow website (AFL page) there is the following caption underneath a picture of Gary Ablett Jnr (in Geel strip).

It links to a story from his former manager saying "he'll stay", dated 23 January 2010.
Which is a pity he has so little to offer. Maybe GWS might take him
