Shane Tuck [merged]

[Jackstar is back again]

Miller is very good in regards to leading up the ground and creating room in F50 for others

[WilliamPowell]

Major issue with Shane is that he has to be reminded where to stand at stoppages etc.sat down on fence yesterday and his team mates were continually yelling at him where to go etc.interesting

Yep and that is one of the main reasonw he hasn't been playing. Look I think he is great, never question his work ethic, his hardness at the contest but he really does struggle with certain parts of the game and the days of just being able to throw the ball onto your boot have sadly passed

every player has their faults, its very hard to have a player with the complete package. Even Judd makes mistakes. The players can learn alot playing beside Tucky & we need his hardness at the ball in our side to develope others.

Say it once say it again> Tuckys efforts somehow gets into others and makes them have a dip. If he is doing something wrong coach him what you want him to do. That is what we have coaches for ??. NO Tuck = NO GUTS. He made a couple of shockers in the last 1/4 BUT if you watch him he does tend to attempt a delivery and does not just bomb it long. His good far outweighs his worst and his effort makes up for his deficiencies. If you compared Tucky's effort, disposal and effectiveness to Griggs I know Tucky is on top by a country miiiiiiile.
We are starting to get a cohesive list, players like Tucky can be discarded BUT you can't buy toughness and heart. Another year for the Tuckster  PLEEEASE
Thirsty is going very well, now he is combining with the Postman, Lids and Rance, we are starting, and I stress starting, to have a backline. Amazing.
Seems to work much better with McGuane out. Sorry Luke.

Saw Farmer directing traffic in the backline a couple of times yesterday.

Interestingly they listened and took directions.

Tuck is a champion, I can't believe that he has been ommitted as often as he has. Has been one of the very few who, when given the opportunity, grinded out effort after effort. Imagine his skill level if he had been played in every game possible this year. Anyone got the coaches number?

If Shane Tuck is a champion Im an astronaut. Lets be serious, hes a hard at it footballer and thats just about it. Supporters at Richmond once again overrating a good ordinary player.

Now thats a sensible post. Tuck may have a role to play. For me the one thing he can bring is protecting some of the midfield. he can take some hits for cotchin who still has 10 years+ to play.

[MintOnLamb]

Never said Tucky was a champion BUT he does have a go and you can't knock that.
Nah stuff it, the amount he has been mucked around by RFC and to come in and try his guts out he is a champion, When is your next moon mission taking off??

i for one hope tuck is around next year and jackson gets traded

I think thats a fair outcome. I'd keep Tuck as insurance as long as Jackson is traded out.

Agree

Can't keep both of them and Jacko has more currency

[10 FLAGS]

At least Tuck just gets it forward and trys to put us in a better position. Jackson plays like a millionaire- we cant afford anymore. TRADE! TRADE! TRADE!

[Penelope]

I'll take a fast quick kick forward, and a forward who knows to play in front, any time.

Poor old tucky cops more than he deserves.
