Tucks "bomb" approach is overplayed.
He does at times do it when he shouldn't, but many times he doesn't have the time. Under Hardwick he has improved in this area.
He repeatedly gets the hard ball, more than moste, so that means he will have many occasions where the quick bomb is the only thing possible, unless you want to get caught with the ball.
Geelongs last premiership captain was a master of the quick bomb forward, the difference being that geelong had forwards that could read the play, were aware he would do it, played in front and were good enough to take advantage..
In the past when tuck has had to quick kick it forward it was the opposition back men that did all these things, rather than our forwards.
The hardest thing to do in footy is get the ball, and tuck does that, and often. The fact that he wins the ball in congestion so often means by the simple law of averages there will be rushed disposals and turnovers.
A few years ago when he was rated in the top ten for contested posesions his effeciency and clangers was on par with most of those other players in the top ten. What tuck lacks that most of these guys do have, is the ability to be creative.
