Shane Tuck [merged]

[jackstar is back again]

Tucky could play a role as a high half forward. Having said that we need a CHF who can play high and create an option 40 to 60 out from goal.

Correct !
RFC has no idea how to re invent players
Tucky is great overhead and is a great kick at goal.
But we try and re invent him off HB last year, NO IDEA

yep,

in the practice match i saw tuck seemed to be playing more forward and last week he was again in the goals for coburg.
I expect to see him playing h/f in the next week or so.

Rumour on BF:

Heard from someone very close to Shane (blood related, played a few games himself) that Shanes contract for the next 2 years is the reason he is not playing at the moment. Allegedly if Tucky plays 15 or more this year he is guaranteed next years contract, but if he plays less than 15, the tigers have the option to terminate. This was signed last year when Tucky was desperate after we hung him out for trade and there were no takers.

Seems the club is keeping its options well and truly open.

I'd be very dissapointed if that was true - actually I'd be disgusted

No club would insert that clause into a contract would they ? Guaranteed contract for 2012 ? Think about it.

[Infamy]

Pretty sure it was announced as a 1 year with 1 year option at the time
Clearly there were performance clauses built in to that
Doesn't mean that he won't get a contract if he plays under 15 games for the year, just that if the kids are playing well and there aren't too many to cut then he may miss out. Smart move by the club, ruthless, but smart.

You're right Infamy.


The Tigers are in the process of keeping Tuck on their list for at least one, and possibly another two years, with a performance trigger attached.

Luke Ablett should keep his mouth shut

[Mr Magic]

Meh Tuck.

[mightytiges]

Tucky is probably now more an insurance player than Miller is. You can only see Tucky now getting a game if a couple of our inside ballwinning mids like Dusty, Cotch, Jacko or Axel cop injuries.

[one-eyed]

Tucky went off holding his ribs and was substituted but he was walking around with the boys after the end of the game. Any official news or word on the radio on how he is?

[mightytiges]

Dimma said he didn't know for sure but he didn't think it was too bad and thinks Tucky will be okay.
