News RIP Shane Tuck

[seanoff]

RIP Shane.

Could never accuse him of ever shirking it on the field. Always gave whatever he had and that’s all you can ask of a player.

And yeah if you are feeling even remotely like this get help. Please. It’s not weakness to ask for help.

Unfortunately I think suicide is the number 1 killer on men between the ages of 20 and 40. It is a serious problem in society that we are only just beginning to address. Thoughts and well wishes to Tucks kids and family.

The current situation the world is in won't be helping it one bit.

RIP Shane.

Tried his hand in the boxing ring if I recall correctly.

It’s a worry that some footballers can’t find a niche in post-football life. Boxing is not something that ensures a healthy or financially secure future.

Farewell Tucky, loved your work.

Was so important for us, we really struggled to replace his and Dan Jackson's hardness in the midfield, probably until Prestia and Caddy came in years later.

I would love to hear Cotch's thoughts on Tucky, I reckon he would say Tucky's bullocking contributed to his Brownlow in 2012.

I remember admiring the way he played on the footy field - good memories of him as player. Shocking news.

38 far too young as well.
I’ve fought the black dog of depression in the past few years and it’s a tough adversary. I went and got help though. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t get help.
More men need to get help with this sort of stuff.
RIP Tucky

This was so gut wrenching to hear. Thoughts are with all friends and family affected by this tragedy.

Growing up as Richmond fan in the Frawley-Wallace eras Tuck was one of those favourites that embodies those teams. Pretty inspiring watching a guy get the best out of himself and every week give his all in a team that constantly struggled. Such a sad news to hear.

A hard man's hard man. Very sad to hear it. RIP, and condolences to loved ones.

In any weather you would see him with a grin, risking head and shin, he was from Tigerland

A "Richmond man" if ever there was one. Tough as could be, rabid about the ball, inspring to his teammates. What a terrible loss........

Takes more courage to ask for help than try pulling yourself out of it alone.

Was a fan of his, I don't think any genuine football lover could have a bad thing to say about him...he was exactly what a fan wants of a player - honest, tough & gave it all.

RIP.

Bloody horrible news, always enjoyed watching him play, never took a backward step, i also loved that he was his own man and didnt let the expectation of being better than his old man get to him, R.I.P.

 

[come on oliver]

RIP. He was a very tough player for West Adelaide too. Enjoyed watching him play.

The black dog is horrible battle. Sincerely happy to lend an ear to absolutely anyone that needs a vent and chat. Check up on your mates

Vale Shane Tuck.

A True Tiger warrior, a tough nut on the field who went at every contest fiercely like it was his last.

No quarter given, no easy possesions were earnt.

Condolences to the Tuck clan and his beautiful young family.

Horrible news, all I can hope is his family and closest people get the support they need in the wake of this tragedy. I hope he finds some peaceful rest in whatever comes next.

Substitute courage for harder and you’re spot on.

Jesus. A consistent performer in the field.

A sad end.

So much tragedy in the Ablett family.

 

[My Name Is Nobody]

Terrible news
Sad for his family

 

[Mesc]

So sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family and the Richmond football club.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Shocking how young her was, seemed like he had been around for much longer.

The sort of footballer you would love playing for your club; tough, hard, hard working.

May he Rest In Peace.

 

[Roachy8]

Lots of posts praising Tucky’s toughness and hardness - all correct.

however he was also one of the fairest players as well....

Respected.

I don’t think my heart will ever not sink when I see those phone numbers at the bottom of an article.

How awful for his family. Way too young.
