Loved watching him in the two's live, surprised he didn't play seniorsGreat work sourcing that. I remember watching him at Vic Park in the Reserves.

He managed 19 games spread over 4 seasons, then was picked up by West Coast and played another 3 games there.Brent "Ironbar" Tuckey, was the great white hope who never played a game I don't think
I thought the bracketed was for the word that preceded it.
However......
Somehow I still remember a keen Adkins fan in the crowd completely losing her s**t everytime he went near the ball screaming ‘go chipper’.Damien Adkins

No eyed deer mate.Do you remember things well enough from back then to have an idea as to why he never managed even one senior game? He didn't even get a pre-season/night series game, yet was at the club from 1981-85 (I believe), playing U-19s and then Reserves.
He obviously had size, speed, and didn't seem to lack confidence (watching those highlights). He kicked 4 goals in a Reserves final, so played at both ends. Looking at the highlights from that game he seems to have "played a blinder" yet the commentator suggested he had a bad day. The team was thrashed, and he did play in defence, but ... He must have had some flaw in his game that left him untried at Collingwood, and not picked up by another club. Any thoughts?
