That kick on half-time was fantastic. I liked the smirk he had on his face when lining it up, like he just knew he was gunna kick it. Great player to watch

Great goal duel with J. Brown. Was a bit worried when he took on J. Brown in the half-time malae - wait a few years for that Buddy

Certainly one of the most exciting looking players at his age and dimentions there has been for a long time. Wonder if the Hawks might want to trade him?
ONLY for Travis Cloke...

I believe tambling will still be a gun. he just needs to get stronger in the core areas such as hips/waist and legs. If you all take notice of the majority of games this year when he has played, he actually gets to alot of contests and gets his hands on the ball but gets tackled straight away and hasn't got the strength in the lower torso to swivel and break a tackle like the majority of seasoned onballers do. He doesn't need to spend the preseason on upper body strength, he really needs to just concentrate on his hips/waist and legs so that he is not brushed/thrown aside, but can stand up in tackles. As soon as he can do this he will monster the opposition around the ball with his speed and skill. Nobody will be able to get near him. Then you will all see that their is no issue with our picking him over buddy franklin. I still think in the long run tambo will be the better player.

I dont think so.. I think they gave Brown BOG. Franklin was not our best for sure today but he had a good game
Spot on Mr. D - it's not true what they say about you.People bagged him for his so called inconsistency, well his last month goes like this...
4, 5, 4, 5.
And keeping in mind he’s still 20 years old.
Luke Hodge was B.O.G by a mile.
Franklin will probably kick 70 goals this year. He'll be All-Australian. And he's 20. I honestly have never seen anything like him. He is bizarre.
There's still a million things in his game that need tweaking. If he puts in the hard yards Buddy aged 25 could be just about anything.
Idiot....

not just franklin, ROUGHEAD!! he is a gun. i think roughead and franklin are going to win premierships together, they seem to work off each other.
i noticed a few times with gray+westhoff for port as well..
glad you have gilham now too, he proved us all wrong, doing very well.

LOL thats what i call a pre-emptive strike!
No one had written anything about Tambling, and then i read 15 lines about him in the next post wondering if i had clicked on the wrong thread.

I heard that the Hawks were going to trade Franklin for Playfair. Fair trade!
I'll be sad to see Henry move on but.. Well if they want our gun, so be it!
Damn you Bomba !
