Yeah, MT, it did seem a bit odd bringing Dave along. I didn't get to talk to him, but he looked pretty wistful. I wondered if it was for morale reason?
Michael and Fay(?) Tuck were at the social event last night at the North Cairns Tigers Club. It's safe to say that they're both feeling that Shane is doing everything he can to get a game, but that the youth policy at the club makes it hard for him to break in.
Brendan Lade also spoke and took questions. One was directly about Shane and another was pretty direct about Gus. He neatly sidestepped the Tucky question, but took the Gus one head on. Said Gus was inconsistent at Coburg. Called him a match winner one week and missing in action the next. Said Gus has been told that he has to string a number of good games together to move past BrownE, who, Lade said, always gives everything he's got!
