The former Tiger wasn’t able to start pre-season training with his new teammates after two bouts of post-season surgery and struggled for continuity as a result, playing only 10 games in his first year at West Lakes. Tambling found form against St Kilda in round six, gathering 21 disposals and nine marks but was suspended for an errant elbow during the match and played only two of the next eight games. The quick half-back flanker will be hoping a strong second pre-season at Adelaide will translate into consistent form in 2012.

David Noble: “Richard fell behind the eight ball pre-Christmas after having a couple of operations. He showed some glimpses, but I think he would say he had a disappointing year. He didn't produce in the positions we thought he could in terms of the run, flair and use of the ball we know he can provide when he's up and running. He just needs to get his body right, have a big pre-season and get himself back to the level a 100-plus game player should be playing at.”
