RICHMOND

Shane Tuck has been on year-to-year contracts and was talked out of retirement last season. At 31, he's yet to sign anything and has only just returned to the seniors after being struck down by a scapula injury in round seven.

Chris Newman, also 31, is the second oldest after Tuck but just signed a one-year extension to take him into a 14th season.

Orren Stephenson – the only other Tiger over 30 – has only played when Ivan Maric has been missing or hampered (four games). He commutes from Ballarat and is yet to state his plans for next year. The Tigers’ plans for Stephenson’s future are unknown but the fact their ruck stocks are thin might save him.

If the Big O goes we would be handicapped in the ruck. Maric can't ruck out a full season and Vickery is not physically ready to take the No 1 ruck duties through a game. Even if Vickery did, we have no one of his height and size to take the forward/ruck role unless you risk forcing McBean in early. Derickx is a lost cause.

Out of all of them, Tucky may be the one to go if any.

Now that we have signed Jacko up again, can we put a trade in that list

I'll be happy just to do that 9 player cleanup and pick up a decent ruck or 2

I think after 2 years as a rookie they have to put him on the list proper or delist ( he can then be re rookied through the rookie draft though)

he seems to have constantly improved so he may get a spot? Time will tell
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

I think these days you can re-rookie them without taking them off the list if they agree to another rookie contract
