Tucky was on SEN this morning with KB....
* Tucky thought his was going to be cut at the end of last year midway through last year.
* We're better off as a side for giving the young guys games but it was hard for him running around in the magoos.
* Footy turning back to a more contested brand has helped him.
* Tucky praised Ross Smith for the form he is in. Ross sits down with Tucky one-on-one and goes through each and every game and points out what Tucky did right and wrong. Ross have been good for the whole club.
* Dad (Michael) played until he was 38 so we'll see what happens. Got a lot to go to catch with the old man but getting to 150 is something he's proud of.
* Midfield depth has played a big part in our improvement this year - Cotch and Dusty are really good. Lids has joined the midfield this year along with Foley. Tucky hopes he continues to get a game.
* No talk of finals within the group. We work in 4 week blocks. Just finished one at 3-1. So after the bye we focus on the next block which begins with Adelaide in Adelaide.
* GWS - if he was Kevin Sheedy he'll be happy with the way the Giants played. Strong at the contested footy. The two Giants forwards, Cameron and Patton, were very impressive. Even though it was wet they marked well and kicked straight.
* Atmosphere wasn't the same as the 'G obviously but there were plenty of Tiger fans there.
* Tucky hopes his younger brother Travis gets a second chance at AFL.
