Shane Tuck [merged]

[one-eyed]

David King tonight was asked why Tucky was being traded. He said Tucky is an "elite" in the comp. for being able to scrap and win the footy but his kicking can let him down. King said he was surprised there was no interest in Tucky and thought the Swans would be one club interested in Tucky. Russell said that he wouldn't have thought Sydney needed another in and under. King replied they're all like that up there.

For me I would like to see Tuck stay with us and have one hell of a ripper year.

FFS at least make it realistic.

Tuck for 30-45 would be all I expect.

There is no interest in forward Nathan Brown, on holiday in America, while Shane Tuck has also drawn no offers from rival clubs.

Tuck is contracted for another year, so will have to take his chances at Richmond and hope Hardwick plays him rather than relegates him to VFL side Coburg.

be good news if Tuck stays as his one of the players who puts his body on the line, reckon he would play up a level under a new coach

[bushranger]

If, and I hope he does stay.
I really cant see him in the VFL.
He is a tough no nonsense player that we need in our real team.
Hardwick will know how he gets the job done and will keep him where he is.

KB just said Richmond has said there's no interest in Tucky

[bushranger]

I think there is still interest in him still at home with a few of us.
So lets hope he reads this and knows he is still wanted by a few.

I know the old adage of not teaching an old dog new tricks is pretty true but I wonder which way this might move Tuck?  Will he see the reasons for what they are and work on the changes required or will he he sulk out his time for 12 months and use it to organize his future?

About 2% of the Richmond faithful. The rest of the 98% of us would prefer to see him leave.

Im not so sure on the 2% guess Ramps. (Is there any way of turning this thread into a poll?).
I for one am glad he is staying, yeah sometimes his rushed kicks get rebouned but at least he gets the bloody ball which is better than some of our players who supposedly have better skills. You cant really say for sure cause they dont get it enough, at least he puts his body on the line every time he plays.
You would have to think that he would suit Hardwicks game style with his comments on everyone having to get their own hardball.

You can get it a million times a match but if you cant kick the footy theres no point. Tuck fills one but not both of Hardwicks requirements.
