Shane Tuck

[goodie]

What a standout year this guy has had. By far our best player IMHO (richo being the most important) and going over some of his stats this year he has been deadset unbelivable.
This year he has averaged 25 disposals with 17 games of 20 plus touches including an impressive 12 in a row of which we won 8 of those games. He's always in and under the umpires nose and never seems to argue or show his anger towards the umpire to much he just goes about his job the right way which has led him to rack up such impressive stats.

which got me thinking he's going to be a real smokey for us this year in the brownlow and will could poll the most votes for richmond. so i thought i wonder what his odds would be to finish top 5 in the brownlow. so i got in contact with a private bookie i know and he came back with "no chance write your won ticket" then i asked him how about top 10 and he said the same thing.

what do you guys think about tuck being a top 10 or top 5 chance this year?

*i didnt run with the bet because its a very long shot but hes definatly one who hasnt had the recognition he's deserved this season in the media.

Look he probably won't go top ten but if your getting ridiculous Odds then may aswell have a splurge. He is 15th in the Hun player of the year votes if that helps

has had a sensational year, risen to greater heights than i thought he was capable of....is tough in the clinches, keeps his feet and mits on the pill...I had him consigned as a foot soldier, has now been elevated to a ****en good player

A toss of a coin between Tucky and Tim Fleming gettin the flick...!!!

I'd be very surprised if he didn't poll a lot of votes in the last half of the season goodie. I don't pay bugger all attention to the Brownlow, but Tucky must have had 5-6 games minimum where even the umpires gave him the three votes and he must have polled votes in others.

Certainly worth a lazy few bucks IMO if you have the opportunity.

Gee, all the Shane Tuck knockers have gone very quiet of late. ("Just an average player" etc.)

Thank you Shane for exposing some of the tripe posters on this board.

Sensational season. Tucky is my tip for the B&F. I think Richo was a mile in front mid season but Tuck's last half of the season will have reeled him in.

Tuck by a nose over Richo with Deledio and Kel "Fanta Pants" Moore 3rd or 4th.
