Shane Tuck [merged]

[Mr Magic]

Where will he finish in the B&F?

About 5th.

[Yeahright]

Can't be serious man? Jacko is average but Tuck is a good player. Fantastic second half on the weekend

Tuck is the same as always just surrounded by better players.
He still chucks it on the boot and is still weak defensively but these days his errors are hidden better.
Also think that the 3 man bench has helped his cause a little.
Looking forward to the upgrade whenever it comes..

Career average 3.8 tackles. 2012 average 6.2 tackles, 1st for Richmond. Wouldnt say his still weak defensively

Meh at the tackle stats. Watch the game. His opponent runs around unhindered most of the game.

I have to disagree. I've often seen him playing very tight on his man

[Coach]

They have had him tagging in some games. His usually gets a job when Jackson is playing across half forward

[Yeahright]

His a master of throwing the ball, can't remember the last time I saw him handball

[Dubstep Dookie]

They have had him tagging in some games. His usually gets a job when Jackson is 9 ironing the ball into the stands from across half forward

Edited for accuracy

[Coach]

No, that is not on. I sponsor Dan and he does a great job. I am privy to the role he gets from Dimma and I know that he does his job each week.

Ok he's been slightly better. Still frustrates the heck out of me the number of times I see him in the wrong position when his man is loose.
He is what he is and we're still not playing finals..

tell me magic what is tucks role what does he do. tell me any other players we have that does his role as well as he does.we dont have a replacement for him atm. in fact finding players like him is not as easy as most think.
yes he has some traits that does your head in but he has other traits that more than makes up for them.

Both Tuck and Edwards have improved markedly, which is good for the team. Just let bygones be bygones MM

See ball. Get ball. Kick ball. Basically he's an extractor. Old fashioned ruck/rover (showing my age).

Cotchin & Foley largely play the same role but are far better users of the football.

Tuck's seasoned body is his greatest benefit. Hard as a cat's head but we need to draft a replacement for Tucky no doubt cause there are still plenty of weaknesses in his game and he's not getting any younger.

[Penelope]

he offers more that edwards, and i have more time for edwards than most.

[Judge Roughneck]

Tuck is a v good underrated overhead mark.

Tuck is a v good underrated overhead mark.

One of the best contested marks going around
