Brave family the Tuck's. Let's hope their openness and search for answers about CTE turns Shane's tragedy into a positive legacy of saving the health and lives of many future footballers.

500 hours of Tuck footage that could save AFL lives

A crack legal team is poring over more than 500 hours of Richmond footage in preparation for the inquest into former Tiger Shane Tuck’s death.

Not sure how many time we have requested that people do not post unsubstantiated rumours on the forum

Looks like potential legal action against us. Who knows.

Tuck’s widow wants Richmond’s ‘poor’ treatment investigated

Richmond star Shane Tuck’s widow has asked the Coroner to investigate how her husband was “so poorly and badly” treated by club doctors.

-----------------------------

The widow of former Richmond footballer Shane Tuck has threatened to withdraw her participation in a proposed coronial inquest into the circumstances surrounding her husband’s death after the state coroner Judge John Cain indicated he would not delve deeply into how the AFL and clubs treated players who suffered concussion in the past.

With all due respect to Tucky and his family...is it the club's fault he took up boxing after he retired and was knocked out?  :shh

Was Tuck asking to be rested? Doubt it.

Surely some responsibility sits on the player too.

CTE is a new field of research relatively speaking. Starting to sound like she wants money. The AFL is already doing lots to prevent CTE.

Given how well Zantuck was treated by club doctors i wouldn't be surprised if others had also received shoddy treatment

Gonna put it out there--soft helmets like the one worn by Caleb Daniel should become mandatory for all players effective immediately with even stricter adjudication of leading with the head and head-high contact. For me, it is the modern-day version of the mouth guard debate: it might feel strange at first, and some will bitterly resent it, but (pardon the pun) it's a no-brainer to me. It's not like footballers play with their heads and their mouths. I'm ready to put up with an awkward aesthetic until it becomes normal if it saves families this sort of irreversible pain and gutting emptiness.

I'm open to it Broadsword.

Umps REALLY need to address players drawing high contact by lifting their arms, shrugging shoulders, dropping knees etc.

All avoidable head contact should be fined or suspended. Especially snipers like Selwood when he elbows Sam Taylor and gets away with it...

He got his head absolutely caved in boxing on multiple occasions

Who can determine what blame lies with Richmond and what was the result of being punch drunk

HATE agreeing with Dio, but he’s spot on

His brain was deemed ok to fight in a licensed bout
