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.
