RIP Shane Tuck

RIP Shane.


My son lost a good friend exactly one year ago today by suicide. He has been quiet all day today reading tributes to his friend then he hears this.


Needless to say he is feeling very sad today.

Just floored by this news.
A player who battled to get himself onto an AFL list to start with, then battled to get into the senior side, then became a huge favourite for many of us through his guts, grit and determination rather than natural athletic or footy gifts.

2020 continues its bizareness.
RIP Tucky.

Omg

I can’t believe it ... a guy who got the absolute most out of the talent he had

RIP Tucky

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

RIP ... condolences

 

[tigersab]

Bloody horrible news. Loved watching him play.

 

[MadTigerFan]

First time I've had football tears in my eyes since 17 Granny.

 

[Bennyboy7777]

Such awfully sad news. Watched in awe, live and up close on numerous occasions, his gladiatorial attack on every contest. So gutted for his family, friends, club and your supporters.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Devastating news. Loved the toughness that Tucky bought to the tiges and sounds like he has a young family. Absolutely shattered RIP

 

[Al Heimer]

Truly heartbreaking news. Shane was everything a Richmond player should be, absolutely fearless and like me my daughter just loved him. She still has a picture of him on her wardrobe door. God its going to be tough telling her the sad news when she comes home. RIP Shane.

One of my favourite players of that era, was so reliable and tenacious. Actually was annoyed when Hardwick was dropping him towards the end of his career as always assumed he'd be one of the first picked. RIP.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

I only just saw this I'm shattered

 

[Yappie dribbles]

No words such a humble man got to spend some time with him and was my favorite player

 

[Hamsatma]

Just tragic, as a younger fan I really started getting into footy when he joined the club and he was one of my favourites.

I always found it so inspiring the way that he, under the shadow of his father and not blessed with exceptional skills that some others are, just gave it his all and managed to have a bloody impressive career. Such an honest and humble player & bloke

 

[Tiger Toffee]

**** me i just saw this, RIP Tucky, so so young.

Shattered loved tucks grit and strength, good inside mid my condolences to his family

 

[Big Unit 30]

Earned a very good career after early setbacks and became a favorite of mine for his vigor and courage.
A sad day , I’m thinking of his family during this tragedy.
RIP

 

[che88]

If only he knew the love the richmond faithful had for him .

 

[Foley#41]

Loved that guy.
A shining light in darker times.

 

[Green Hammer]

The black dog again. Oh god. Too many fading to black

 

[myblueroan]

Awful news guys.
Just popped in to offer condolences.

 

[Jkdyer]

Absolute warrior and one of the most gutsiest players to play for our club. Hero. RIP Tucky.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Oh this is bloody shit news.
Like many of you have said, Tucky epitomized that warrior spirit in a period where there wasn't too much to get excited about.
Smashing packs with his head down.. couldn't hear much but he kicked straight. Sad we couldn't get a cup for him.
I hope he felt the love from the Tiger faithful. Deep condolences to his family and friends.

Guts & Determination .
Always team first ethic.
R.I.P Shane.
