Just watched his North Melbourne interview thing, seems like his decision was based around Clarko, wonder what will if he doesn't end up coaching.

He might be comfortable that Clarko will coach next year.

Love this trade from a North POV.

Logue is a good-very good key defender who has some decent scalps this year but is behind others. Perfect guy to have partnering McKay though.

Tucker played the majority of the year for the Dockers. Handy role player, might just be a transitional inclusion although he could play 100 games for the club.

From a Freo POV that’s now 3 best 22 players who have left. Hopefully they can retain Lobb.

Darcy Tucker aint no B22 but did well enough to crack 100 games. Lets go F/S in 20 years.

We're actually out 4 x B22 though once Lobb goes because of Mundy. Get on us for the spoon.

Tucker wasn’t best 22, or maybe you were including Mundy, Logue and Acres were great this year and will be hard to replace.

He played 14 games, he was still in the side more often than not.

That's not necessarily a bad thing btw.

George Hewett (for whatever reason) was not deemed to be in the Swans best 22 either

You never know, Tucker may just flourish at Arden St.

How many as medi sub?

I’m not saying he won’t be decent. Played onball in the wafl he had some ridiculous games. I recall a 37 possessions and 3 goal game against a strong WAFL team.

He’s not a winger, or a HBF, or even a HFF. He’s not particularly quick, but he’s tough, runs endlessly and has a neat kick. Play him onball and he’ll flourish.

I’m sure you’d know better than I would, but he’s clearly on the cusp and played plenty of footy for the club.

He should be a decent pickup for the Roos though. Right age bracket, competitive guy. Low ceiling but also a pretty low floor.

Of the 14 matches, twice he was an unused medi-sub.

3 additional matches, based on stats of 6,7,8 possessions, I think he started medi-sub but came onto the field.

9 times this year he started on the field. Which is more than I expected.

Seriously, have a clue. He played 21 matches for Swans in 2021......
Sometimes it like you live in another world and not in this one....
He basically been in Swans best 22 for about five seasons.
I think the Co-Vid 2020 season was only time he played less than 20 matches in a season in that time.
He was clearly best 22.
Swans just could not afford to keep him for the money he was after in a new contract. That's all that was.

Excellent result for AFL and North that the assistance they got for free was to trade to get more mature ready players for their team which it was designed to do and does not disadvantage the league as a whole. Freo get a pick that was not originally in some coming drafts and North get players that will boost their senior team full of youngsters straight away.
Logue is a very good get. They lacked key defenders and now they have a bit more of what they really need.

It’s because they are a better side than Carlton & have better players in his preferred spot.

Tucker was played since he has an AFL body. We’ll have better kids with AFL bodies next season so it won’t hurt at all.

Hewett is a better player than Rowbottom.

Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.

Sounds like a good guy to have around a young team. Attitude and effort often beats talent.

Was waiting for Darcy to brake out. Was getting sick of waiting..has had 2 very average years but wish him the best.

Logue can go truck himself 😂
He will have his good and bad days in defense and has demanded too much money from the roos 👎

He can't exactly come out and say


"They offered me the bag and I took it"


We all know the real reason (and its fair enough too)

I just wish they would, lies seem to be acceptable when it's pretty clear sometimes.

Darcy Tucker is a momentum killer. Almost exclusively ignores the first (and correct) option to swivel the head around looking for something better.

That said, he has the rig and dedication and seems a ripping bloke.

Played his best game against Geelong this year where he actually played much more freely. Perhaps with licence to run or back himself more, he will flourish.
