Well if he is no bigger than Edwards I agree, we don't need him just like we don't need...... well....... you know..... :whistle

The knock on him is he's short rather than he's skinny - 176cm, 78kg.

How many picks under the father/son have actually worked out for us? I can only think of just the one.

Richo and Joel were two although we didn't have to give up any picks for them back then. Mark Pitura and David Bourke were flops. Tom Roach was more a political decision at the time to provide the club with a positive news story. He'll probably become a dual VFL premiership player after Friday night. Rainesy wasn't a F/S.

Could the Dees now be interested in Tuck with McLean leaving.

A bit of inside muscle to help the kids??

Their 3rd rounder would be nice.

According to Denham on SEN, no-one is interested.

Really, this puts the club in an awkward position now.

Plenty of clubs will be interested in Tucky, I'm not convinced we should trade him. A player who is hard at it, consistent, reliable and with good skills are hard to find.

Yes, he has good skills , can mark, kick , run and hanball  - just sometimes doesnt make great decisions and chase hard enough from my understanding.

If we dont get a good pick I hope they keep him.

Can run? Has Tucky ever taken a bounce in his career??

In warm up or during game time?

Damn! :-\

When Burgoyne, Lovett and possibly Davey on the market then I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Tucky's trade value falls away badly. He's the antithesis of the above 3. One of Tucky's flaws is he is slow and he just throws the ball on his boot when in the midfield. If Tucky stays on then he may become our GC17 out of contract offering. They base the compensation on games played and B&F finishes. Maybe we will get more for him next year.

I think we will trade Tucky away for far less than what we would normally demand for him. Given the state of the market, the players on offer, the impending threat of year's of compromised drafts and health of our list, I think we will trade Tuck for a 3rd round pick.

Tuck understands that the club is looking to give experience to our young midfielders and that means playing him less in the middle. I can see what the club is trying to engineer - finding talented, skillful, fast and clever ball uses such as Lids and Cotch over good average toilers. Tuck is a great ball winner who is tough, strong, a good mark and kick for goal but he is too slow by foot which means he finds it difficult to find space to depose of the ball. This is why he often slaps the ball onto his foot or handballs blindly. He is also isn't the best decision maker which is why he doesn't hurt opposition teams as much as someone with as many clearances, hardball gets and disposals should.

With Tuck now disillusioned with the club, I think we should take what we can get for him.

After reading what you put down about Tuck, Strips.
I can see the reason why it will happen now.
Though I do still like Tuck and while he is at our club he will remain my favourite player.
