Shane Tuck [merged]

[one-eyed]

The reporters from Bigpond Sport have given Tucky a whack despite collecting 32 disposals.....


They don’t record class on the stats sheet.

Shane Tuck played against the Cats on Sunday, satisfying a segment of Richmond fans who have been baying for the midfielder's return. Although the Tigers were predictably smashed at Etihad Stadium, Tuck was busy, collecting 32 touches, four tackles and six marks.

Chris Judd's figures against Essendon on Saturday night are comparable: 33 disposals, 12 tackles, four marks. However, the stats sheet is where the similarity between the two performances ends. Tuck consistently surrendered the ball. Judd terrorised Essendon's defence with the majority of his touches and is surely now one game closer to joining Hayden Bunton, idiot Reynolds, Bob Skilton and Ian Stewart as the only men to have won three Brownlow Medals.

This gulf explains why no one particularly cares about the number or gender of Shane Tuck's kids, and why the Blue part of Melbourne is praying Judd's heavily pregnant partner Rebecca Twigley gives birth to a boy.

Matt price and michael rogers can get stuffed (I wrote that and not the swear filter, dont like that change either btw )

Tuck, who started last season in the VFL because of deficiencies in his defensive game, finished up playing the final 20 games for the Tigers last year and was fifth in their club best and fairest award.

He is a possible recruiting target for Greater Western Sydney.

id like to keep him as he's the last "old schooler" footballer on the list but would be interested to hear what was offered

Agree, while we know he is not the way forward I would have him on the list next year than Edwards and the like. At least with Tuck you get 100% effort out of a man instead of 60% out of the limp we have.

Good Game. Well done to him

I'm not great fan of playing Tuck. Like the boy and the effort he puts in but don't see playing him as vital to our future. Even so this article is a huge piece of manure.

That first paragraph is comparing two totally different styles of players in two totally different teams at two totally different stages of development. I'm not saying Tuck's as good as Judd because obviously he isn't, but at least compare apples with apples you morons.

The third paragraph is a complete load of bull poop. No matter what you think of Shane, those two Rhodes scholars obviously haven't heard of one Michael Tuck. Who cares who a kid's father is. OK Gary Ablett sired Gary Ablett, but how often does a champion footballer raise another champion footballer.

Who the hell is Judd's father? Judd's son may be a future Chris Judd. Could just as easily be a Rhett Bartlett or Simon Hart. (I mean absolutely no disrespect by that comment if you read this Rhett. You are obviously talented in areas other than football).

I reckon Shane has done OK and has just as much chance of having a son who will win a Brownlow.

To breed a footballer, you must have those who are prepared to show the way.

Tuck is a example of how to play, Protects a midfielder gathering the ball, Gets down & gets the ball, always putting his body on the line.

Totally agree.
Most of our players handball to team mates under the pump

I'd bet $1000 that Shane Tucks kids would be better footballers than Chris Judds kid (if it's a boy).

I remember Wallace taking credit for keeping Tuck at the club. 

Well that means Tuck is the dregs of the Wallace/Miller era.

I think Benny Gale and Hardwick must eradicate ALL peoples from that regime players and administration included.

if Benny Gale is having input into List Management decision then that's wrong. Because I hate to break it to you that isn't his job

Tuck is not the answer but he has a go, sure he stuffs it up a bit, probably the rest of the team shocked that a ball is coming towards them, there is something fishy in the tiger Den, some stink, some odour, we have some positives and a lot of negatives, the same negatives that have been  plaguing us for the last 25 years, I am sick of the selection mysteries. Personally I will be very sad to see tucky go at the end of the year, he has a lot of positives and a few negatives, surely some one on one coaching could help him out?? or is that too difficult for our "coaching" staff??
Here is the question, ranking the  :-[mighty tigers what is the consensus of what number Tuck would be in our top 25 players.?

[Jackstar is back again]

reckon Tuck is player 23
Can find 15 players behind him on the list
