Shane Tuck [merged]

[Coach]

"They are pretty keen to move me on but, with next year on my contract, if I can't find a trade I will probably end up at Coburg so I am happy to be traded.''

LOL. Talk like that's going to increase his trade value, not that he probably cares too much about that ATM. Interesting that it seems Tuck is NOT the sort of player DH is looking for.

How so? He just wants to go somewhere else to extend his career since we obviously want to get a pick for him so badly. What did you want him to say?

Don't stress Davey, there's a reason I put "LOL" at the beginning of my post.

All I meant was a player that expects to play at Coburg next season might be perceived as worth less than a player that expects to be playing seniors. Personally I would think Tuck might be a little bit peeed off ATM and I don't blame him, hence his comment. If we don't find a suitable trade and he does stay I would be surprised if he actually played much for Coburg.

Good luck to him, he should be looking out for himself, and he has my blessing though it is of little worth.

I'm not stressing, RROFO. I thought "LOL" meant "laugh out loud".

I reckon he's a bit annoyed too. I'm sure he thinks he's good enough to play seniors, but would be worried about his future beyond on 2010 if he stayed. I'd get out now if I was his age as well.

I think the fact Campbell is still at the club means he knows he'll be struggling to get a spot in the seniors
Not sure it has anything to do with Hardwick, it seems to be pretty common knowledge that the two don't get on

get your facts right stop spewing rubbish

Rawlings had problems with players who stood up & offered support for Wallace when some players + the ex captain & current captain who wanted him sacked
Thats the reason so many players never got games when in good form & had supporters & media dumbfounded at selections
Is the reason some players are being forced out the door cause they didnot want to play under Rawlings & he didnot have thier support getting the caretaker job as they wanted Wallace to see out his term, The reason some other didnot play when not injured
Campbell stepped out of the coaching race & had nothing to do with the in fighting which l might add is not over. He had nothing to do with Tuck being dropped.
As l said before some players want out cause its not a happy place at Tigerland

TM not disputing what you've said above but if you search through some old posts about Coburg games you will find that someone posted about the "alleged" problems between Campbell & Tuck, hence where these rumours regarding Tuck & Campbell not getting along started....

Not sure about this being correct!

Jade has left, was always likely to and yet was still allowed to make the call on Tuckys career?
I am also surprised that Jade had the power to make the the decision to play him at Coburg above all the other selection staff and Footy department?
I think this decision was made by the CLUB or Hardwick and you are still trying to put the blame on a Caretaker coach who has left as he is now gone and has no chance to defene himself!

Can tell you its true,
Jades decision to drop Tuck when his form was good,  really touched a nerve. The fact the selection panel let it happen & left him out after a good game made it even more bitter.
One of the reasons Rawlings moved on because he didnot have the support of the players & some made it known.


WP l seen that thread & its just a big rumour

Let's hope Tuck polls well in the B&F.  Might get his trade value up a bit.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Just seems too far fetched TM.
It's stuff like that infuriates me and just shows what a rabble we are on and off field.
I can only hope Dimma can get the players doing what he wants and not what they want.

Still Tucky needs to be moved on regardless due to his age and prospective tradeability. I would hate to think Dimma puts in the hard yards only for Campo to be pulling stings behind the scenes with the players.

[bushranger]

I like Tuck and would love to see him with us next year, but if he has to go. The ones in charge know more than me. So who am I to agrue over it
So if it happens so be it. And then lets hope we can get a good trade for him.

A 7th place finish should help you would think.

WCE give - Seaby
WCE receive - pick 39

Sydney give - 23 & 39
Sydney receive - Tuck, Seaby & 44.

Think Tuck is worth more than that. Also if we are delisting more players than we will want to make sure we aren't doing pick + players for a pick.

If we were to get another pick for Jordie (Saints 3rd rounder #49 ) then yep GB pick 51 would be okay to trade away given we wouldn't be using it anyway.

Picks 3, 19, 23, 35, 44, 49 & 67 (Josh Free F/S)
