You can thank Wayne Campbell for Tuck being dropped.I have it on good authority.

Campbell had nothing to do with Tucks dropping 
its was Jades call

Yes.Jade and the selection committee ultimately have the final say on who is in and out.But according to Tucky's mother at Coburg last Saturday, Campbell, in his role as midfield coach, lobbied very hard behind the scenes to have Tuck dropped, telling all and sundry that he didn't rate him. He then had the audacity to text Tuck before his first game at Coburg, wishing him luck, and hoping he could fight his way back into the seniors. You can believe that if you want. Or write it off as a whinge from a mother whose boy was dropped.

Dont beleive a word & doubt that came from Faye's mouth.

Nope! About 50 years younger

Tuck should definitely be playing
Even if he's not part of the future, dropping him just harms his trade value
If it's Wayne Campbell who's to blame then it just adds one more reason why I don't want Campbell at the RFC
Hardly surprising that Cambell would cut such a tough hard at it player when he was and always will be a squib

you dont watch much football if you think Campbell never got his own ball
Gee you make some real stupid comments on past players who have clearly proven themselves as players in the AFL
5 times Richmond best & fairest winner of the club & you calling him a squib, your a low moron

Rawlings silent on Tuck

RICHMOND coach Jade Rawlings won't disclose why midfielder Shane Tuck, who has been recalled for Saturday's clash against Collingwood at the MCG, was recently dropped.

Externally the omission of Tuck came as a surprise. But Rawlings, who said Tuck had since been excellent for the Coburg Tigers in the VFL, was adamant he would not discuss the issues surrounding his relegation.

"It wasn't easy to drop him, because he's actually a really good person and I played with him at Hawthorn, so I've known him for a long time," Rawlings said at Punt Rd on Friday.

"He's gone back with a fantastic attitude and tried to put in place the things we've asked him to improve on."

Rawlings said the Richmond fans could draw their own conclusions about why Tuck was initially dropped.

"I'm not going to talk about Shane's deficiencies through the media," he said.

Rawlings praised another recalled Tiger, two-time Jack Dyer medallist Joel Bowden,  who will play his last match against the Pies.

"He's been an outstanding contributor to the footy club. He's Richmond through and through," he said.

"The players hold him in high regard as do the whole footy club, so we'll go about it in a reasonable way internally and acknowledge what he's done and then he has his testimonial to follow up tomorrow night. So it'll be good to go to that function after a win."

Rawlings believes the players will respond well after a last round's 55-point loss to the Sydney Swans at the MCG.

"I can only go on their attitudes at the meetings, but they're in no uncertain terms about where we sit as a team at the moment," he said.

"We've been trying to make some changes in how they approach their footy and how they actually perform on match day, so it's a work in progress.

"It's a matter of how you bounce back."

I think Jade likes the sound of his own voice,
I think the club should ban him from opening his mouth again.
He dont make any sense and he is starting to talk dribble.
We dont ever want to hear him say again, I love this group of players and I love coaching, its aint about you pal.

can understand why our youngsters never developed under the assistant coaches

It's a BF rumour so make of it what you will but it says Tuck is unhappy and wants to leave
