Shane Tuck [merged]

[Francois Jackson]

this is fantastic for the club and if the deal is done will be a massive step in the right direction.

for years now we have held onto players who are sh.ite or wont be part of our future. Tuck is a descent player who tries bloody hard but has too many flaws and is too old.

Well done Hardwick you have started well but need to keep at it.

McClovin and Schulz should be shown the door next, that should be a no brainer.

you see for those so called experts that loved Wallace, this is what he should've done years ago but didnt do. Hence why we are in this mess

[torch]

good call! remember, he is still contracted! so any draft pick we should take! he is not a 1st or 2nd Round pick!

Raines & Tuck = 3rd Round - take it!

not going to get a 2nd Round pick!

Told ya all there are a few unhappy footballers at Tigerland
Letting Tuck go will be a huge mistake.
The way Rawlings & Richmond officals disrespected some players
We will pay dearly & will suffer for many years

If Tucky stayed he would probably retire before we are in any shape to play finals. He's no Cousins. We aren't going to suffer for many years.

TM i respect you as you post some quality stuff, but Tuck was dropped for being unaccountable and having no concern for his opponents impact on the game.

Sure he hasnt been the only one but he was dropped for the right reasons, if he doesnt like it then he can leave.

Far too much commom sense there TFL

Based on what TFL has said

Seriously TM if they are unhappy because the onus is being put back on them to start playing accountable team orientated footy then do we really want them?

I don't think dropping someone for not following the team plan is being disrespectful. I see it as making people accountable.

Perhaps if Tezza had been as harsh rather than playing favourites on far to many occassions we just might not be where we are today with so many "unhappy" players

Players might be unhappy???

Good. About time the club took back control from these underperforming self indulgent players

Tell them to harden the stuff up, pull their fingers out, stop thinking it is all just about them and play some hard accountable football for once (or better for 88 quarters in a row)

Exactly. Our players have basically no right to speak at the minute. No more hiding behind Terry Wallace's skirt.

[Infamy]

Cannot see any chance of Tuck ending up back at Hawthorn  or should that be 

 

and a big NO to Burgoyne

Salopek yep Burgoyne NO

If we trade for players it must only be for blokes under 25

Agree with that post 110%, there's a reason Tuck wasn't persisted with at the Hawks

Have no interest in Burgoyne either, gun player, but not for us. Salopek is one of the best players out of his draft, which doesn't say a great deal about the quality of that draft, but I still think he's a good player.

[Mr Magic]

Interesting that no one has jumped on here yet proclaiming this as a terrible decision ....

Thats because its a fantastic decision. They are doing things they have never done before and i take my hat off to them.

Tuck now but surely Schulz is the next to be put up.

No one is safe thanks to Terry and his train wreck

Schulz will be worth very little but might be part of a deal.

Good move to trade Tucky.

Solid foot soldier but been part of an unsuccessful midfield for many years. Have to change it up.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Good move by the club. Hopefully the club can shake things up even more and maybe another bigger name can be put up for trade.
Unfortunantely for Tucky a stagnant uninspiring environment with a distinct lack of success has failed him at RFC. Hence he was unable to make the necessary refinements to his game. Solid player but that's about it. Good luck in the future Tucky.

Hardwick needs to continue to swing the chainsaw. Hes sacked quite afew and he needs to keep sacking. The more that end up at Centrelink the better. Its a shame clubs dont have 200 players on a list, we could have had 1 sacking a day till round 1 of 2010.

And if we had tanked we could have had an extra sacking!!

Finally some professional list management (even if the trade does not eventuate) without the coaching interference !!!!
