Player Watch #13: Darcy Tucker

[Billy Not Really]

If we nailed Tucker, Logue and H. Clarke in a trade period that's a yuge win

Yuge with a capital U

 

[speedy]

I wonder who is picking these trade targets? Is it Clarko or Brady? I'd be a little uncomfortable if this is all Clarko. Surely he hasn't been keeping an eye on all potential draft targets this past year?

[muttley45]

Can never have too many left footers, and i know Clarko likes 'em too

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Don’t watch much of Freo - is he any good?

Not in Freo's best 22. So no, he's not very good but perhaps he can improve with us.

Could be an interesting acquisition. Not sure on his best position though. Would be disappointed if he pushes Powell out of the best 22.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Be good to have a Rebels boy on the list again!
Don't think we've had one since we sacked Drew.

Happy to see Powell, Phillips and Lazarro work on their craft in the VFL, along with a few others

His son plays with a lot of the draftees. I'm sure he'd have some idea who the guns are in this draft.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Did the Bombers miss again?

a big thanks needs to go out to barham for destroying that club right before the end of the year and trade period

[travelli]

15.3 in his beep test. Third best in his draft. Nice!
Big boy, looks a good tackler...certainly ticks a lot of boxes, and is a lefty too!

Meet Darcy Tucker

Tucker, who hails from Horsham in country Victoria but moved to Ballarat, had a solid season.

www.nmfc.com.au

looks like a good replacement for Kyron Hayden

 

[DuckYeah]

There's a lot to like in that highlights reel; can tackle, can hit a target and knows where the goals are.

Id be super uncomfortable if it was Brady.

I’ve convinced myself we ‘snared’ the athletic CCJ for a future third rounder.

Putting Powell and even Phillips in the same category as Lazarro… wtf am I reading.

Powell’s football IQ, disposal and output is miles superior to Lazarro.

 

[wazza03]

If we happen to get Tucker, he’ll surprise a few on here. He’s just what we need. Tackling machine with good skills and knows where the goals are.
Could play on a wing or rest forward.
Hopefully he’s able to put his injuries behind him and thrive under Clarko.

He could become our version of the “Ben Keys” trade this year

We definitely need more goal kickers that’s for sure

I agree. Powell's footy IQ and disposal is superior to a lot of our players: Simpkin and Taylor for example. Playing VFL just means someone is pushing him out, which I'm fine with. As long as the best 22 is picked lol
