Shane Tuck [merged]

[bushranger]

I firmly believe Tuck does more harm than good with his inefeective disposal and constantly puts his teammates under the pump. 
I say trade him while he has currency but only if its in a package to get Kerr or Brown.  Shouldnt be traded for a draft pick on its own. 
Other clubs dont tag him because they know he does no damage once he gets it. 
Also I hate the way he constantly tries to handle above his head rather than hold the ball in the tackle and the opposition then clears the ball way rather than create another stoppage.

I really trhink that you must have been at other games if you want to bring in Kerr who has a list as long as your arm with wrong doings. And trade out Tuck for him. No way in the world I say. Tuck is far more value to the Tigers than anyone like a Kerr.

l firmly beleive you have no knowledge of the game of football,  if you want Tuck traded for a rat like Kerr to take his place
Tuck protects the midfielders to allows the ball to be carried out of the centre attack
no Tuck means if we had Kerr he would be forever grabbed & bashed by his tagger YOU IDIOT

I hope he listens Tigermonk.

Third straight week over 30 disposals for Tucky. In career best form and he really shoved it up his old side today when he didn't have Foley by his side in the guts to help.

[Judge Roughneck]

Reminds me of Martin Pike.

Caro also said there were some serious concerns from those at Punt Rd about Tuck's form and future early on in the season but he's turned it around.

Shame they didn't mention he was signed on a new 3 year deal early in the season

I was surprised we re-signed him up for 3 years but he's certainly repaid the club's faith in him in the second half of this year.

[Tigermonk]

going to be a champion like his father, Michael was a late bloomer & played all them games & premierships.
Would it be nice to copy his fathers achievements, l know l be one happy Tiger with all them premierships.
nothing like dreaming about Premierships  but Tuck is the teams most hardest workers alongside Richo & Johnson.
His mistakes often come from fatigue & his one of them players who can come up with a strong mark & kick goals

Tucky's been named in the best 18 of the week by Champion Data for the past 3 weeks. This week named in the centre  .

Newy in a BP, Bowden at CHB and Lids at CHF were also named in this week's best 18.

Goes to show that others are now starting to take notice of our boys. And more power to them. And congradulations to those that were selected. 

[moose]

hope tuck is our next captain, he has what it takes

[bushranger]

Seeing Tuck as our next captain would be great. Now here's the but. I don't think he'll get the job against the flair of Lids or Richo.
But I can see him as a vice captain though.
I think he would suit either job but, he'll never get the captains job as much as I hate to say it.

The lastest issue of Inside Football looks at the top midfielders in the AFL and the number of disposals they get per T.O.G. (time on ground).

When you take into account T.O.G., Tucky was the 5th most prolific ballwinner last year. Sugar was 10th.

                           Games  Disposals  TOG%   Avg Int.     Disp. per 100% TOG
1. Joel Corey            25       29.2        86%       4.0               33.9
2. Gary Ablett          21       28.9        86%       3.7               33.4
3. Bradd Dalziell        7       26.4        80%        4.1              32.9
4. Dane Swan          24       24.6        75%        7.7              32.7
5. Shane Tuck          22       24.9        76%        5.8              32.6
6. Joel Selwood        24       25.3        78%        4.9              32.5
7. Scott West             4       23.3        72%        5.8              32.1
8. Robert Harvey      24       21.1        66%        6.4              32.0
9. Jimmy Bartell       25       28.1        88%        3.6              31.9
10. Kane Johnson     18       23.9        76%        5.3              31.7


Just as an aside, Geelong players made up 5 of the top 11 spots.

Tucky was also 3rd in handball per 100% TOG.

For all the Tivendale fans he was in the top 10 (ninth) for inside 50s per 100% TOG  .
