Shane Tuck.

[Bentleigh]

A-Grade player.

While everyone talks about Coughlan as future captain, I wouldnt discount Tuck.

Got good genes for it.

Apparently goes in to the club on his own time and works out. Has had to do it hard to get to where he is.

That is the type of thing we need to kill the previous cultures that lurched in our club.

Not about the most brilliant player but the player that represents what we need to be.

NOTE:
Frawley would have had him delisted at the end of the year given last year. Is there any factor of coaching this bloke is competent at.

 

[Sealen]

I agree, Tuck is teriffic

 

[Thrice3]

I love Tucky.
I can see him going really far this year. Racked up a lazy 31 disposals tonight.
Well done Tucky.

 

[jezza]

Fantastic game for him. Like the Tiges, is starting to get the respect he deserves. Not sure if many 12 game players have had this sort of an impact.

.

the lads doing just fine 150 game player we have here...doesn't appeal as likely captain though

 

[tiger coll]

imo probably would be second in b&f behind browny.

was tonight his career best possies??

 

[cairo tiger]

how tf did hawthorn let him go?

 

[tigerdan]

how tf did hawthorn let him go?

Took a while to develop.

Don't stress, we have been caned for letting go guys like him before, think Theissen, what's his face from Essendon, Barry Young, etc.

Finally the worm is starting to turn.

A very good player.

Tuck = GUN


He is terrific.

Did you see the Tiger fans not wanting to let him go after he gave one of them the footy.

 

[tigerT]

i saw that sante, great scenes!

tucky is having a huge impact on our side, along with cogs and jonno we have some big bodies at the stoppages. He played on Voss for large parts of tonight, impressive

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Slowly but surely we are developing a pretty good midfeild.
Hardnuts in Cogs,Jonno,Tuck and Hyde along with the developing young cubs in Deledio[will join the above once he gets older].Meyer[who last night showed a bit with poise in heavy traffic] with cameo appearence,s in the Middle of Brown.
Hopefully Jackson can be added to the above as well as Tambo once his body can adjust to the rigors of AFL footy.

Is TUCK
Is GOOD

I cant believe this kid has detractors amongst us still.

Ive backed thi kid since i first saw him play and am not surprised.

 

[jezza]

I liked him in his few games last year because he was just about the only one who would kick long and direct, no matter what the state of the game. I didn't know whether he could be a midfielder though, as he hadn't ever been given the chance.

But the way he has stepped up from a nothing player to be in the top midfielders in the league so far this season is simply amazing. Nobody could have expected him to step up so far in such a short time. This is a guy playing his 12th game of afl and racking up 30 touches against Voss, Lappin, Black, Aker etc.

. Nobody could have expected him to step up so far in such a short time. .

i beg to differ Jez.

 

[Terry Tan]

he's bloody awesome. About time Tigers got some G&D back into their team like the good ol' days...now we got Tuck, Cogs, Chubb, Hyde, Simmo, Hartigan, Staff, Razor, Newman...

Eat 'Em Alive Tigers!!!
