Doc Larkins on Ch 9 had Tucky listed as bruised ribs and "test".

Shane Tuck to miss two matches with rib damage (Herald-Sun)

Shane Tuck to miss two matches with rib damage

    Jon Ralph
    From: Herald Sun
    May 03, 2011

RICHMOND has confirmed Shane Tuck will miss two games with rib damage.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said Tuck had a rib cartilage injury, ruling him out of games against Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs.

Tuck had fought his way back into the side in only the previous week, but was injured early in the win against Brisbane.

"He copped a funny one, he popped the rib cartilage, which is an obscure injury," Hardwick said.

Love Hardwick and would not criticise BUT just wondering why Tucky isn't getting a run. It would seem that we need him in the back line, he is hard, fast, plays tall, is there a problem that he doesn't follow instructions or is he just out of favour? His last game he was on for a quarter and played great. Am I missing something??

Tucky polarises opinions on this thread, MOL! I would'nt call him fast although i do agree about your points! Disposal is an issue and his age! Truth be known, i don't think he will win a final for us so top up player only! Miller is the same, but younger!
BTW, welcome!

IMHO Tuck should have been played from round one, he also should of played in the games that we only just lost and he didn't. His form for Coburg suggested many times that he should have been selected to play more than he has.

Unfortunately he has been on the outer since the start of the season, if we wnated to win games earlier rather than blod youth, he should of played. So why play hime now when we are over half way through the season??? He won't be there next year.

if tuck is in the team in can't be in the backline.

His kicking is not good enough.

It's a conundrum. We have fallen behind in our clearance work but have improved in disposal efficiency - particularly kicking.

Tucky is good in and under but turns it over.

Not part of the new breed.

A shame liked him but the coach has been pretty consistent from day dot.

Tucky lacks pace so he can only play in and under. He also has a poor defensive side to his game and as others have mentioned his footskills are average. He just bombs it forward. As one of our few older players he's being overlooked as he's not part of our future. There's only room for one of Jacko and Tucky at best so Jacko gets the nod. Playing both reduces our disposal efficiency and footy smarts.

Thanks for all the comments, certainly food for thought and Tucky is only one on the list. I just wish more players had his hard ball get ethic and ability, BUT wish he could be infused with kicking smarts. I think he can pass the ball ok but consistency is a problemo. Never mind, will see if he gets in if Jake the Snake is out.

Tuck in the forward line could work.

I doubt he would be any than hislop. White.

Good size good mark.
