Tuck's clearly better than Jackson but Tuck's not the future. We need to replace him.
Nether part of a premiership side.

The only way Tuck won't play is if there is a kid good enough to kick him out! The development phase is now over, there's no way we will leave Tuck at Coburg just to get games under the belt of his potential replacement......

Here's hoping Tuck is our insurance in 2013.

Well done and congrats Tucky. He's certainly turned his footy career around. The change in footy back to a more contested style has helped him as winning the contested footy is his best strength.

Excellent result, well done Tuck, if the rest of the team can emulate the way you play...look out!!!

i know what your saying in relation to development with the aim being finals.
but i have to say we are very much in development with so many either in junior phase or development phase and so few mature and vets on the list. ignore development and watch us win a spoon. even the top clubs bring younger players in over probably better senior players.

Big year for tuck. A fully fit tuck (ditto Foley) gives us the luxury of playing our best players forward

Said on another thread that i watched the round 17 lose to the Kangas last night and another thing i took from that game is that Tuck in the last quarter went to CHF and gave us a great marking option through there and kicked 2 important goals.
I have said it before but what do people think about playing Tuck there on a more regular basis?

He is as strong as an ox, will make a contest and bring the ball to ground on every occasion, good in the air and on the ground and can kick a long goal.
And cannot play through the middle forever if we are to improve into a final 4 side.

Now we have a few young KPF's  coming through but none are anywhere near ready, IMO Tuck could fill this roll for a few years and while he does, we could play a young guy next to him as a HFF learning off him and getting a bit of protection from him as well.

Also would give one of our young in and under mids more time in the middle.

Thoughts??

Think it's a great idea big tone only if we have the mid field depth to cover his ball winning ability as inside mid. I appreciate we have to develop some of the younger mids in that role but not sure we can afford to lose Tuck out of the middle for large chunks of time in 2013 when finals are a must

Certainly would look at resting him forward a lot more than we do. We rest Cotchin & Martin up forward a lot think we can do the same with Tuck. Though I think he is better around HF than deep inside 50
