Universal Love Tuck the Warrior!

[tigs2010]

What a gutsy effort to play the game out until it was beyond doubt for the good of the team. Seems to have been overlooked a bit with the Hardwick bagging thread. Super courageous and hopefully spurs the rest of the team onto bigger and better things. Get better soon Tucky and hopefully we will be poised for a run at the finals when you come back to the wet wintery Melbourne weather where everyone has slowed down to your speed and we see some BOG games from you before you play in your first finals series.

Dropping him was a scandal and now we're tearing down the walls of heartache! Bang bang!

FFS Hardwick needs to go FFS. Outcoached again by leaving Tuck on the ground when the game was over FFS. FFS FFS. ********* FFS.

Definetely a warrior, but seriously, was there any need to keep him on? Game well and truly decided half way into the fourth and we kept him out there. I reckon we could have/should have given him a rest, even if it didn't cause any more structural damage it was clearly causing Tuck pain/discomfort.

Self sacrifice so the other mids could have a rest i guess.

Not enough 'dude' in this sentence.

What Shane Tuck does thread mkIIII

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Shane Tuck should be granted special allowance to wear a loincloth, a horned helmet and leather straps crossed over at his mid-section instead of a guernsey.

Great thread, onya Tucky! I think he would thrive in a finals match. Looking forward to seeing it... If we make it of course.

Edit: From Richo's 6 pointers on the rfc website, thought some might be interested to read:

5. Shane Tuck was the ultimate team manTuck showed great courage to continue playing throughout the second half, despite a severe shoulder injury, which will now sideline him for the next six weeks or so. He has been a particularly resilient character since debuting with the Tigers in 2004, hardly missing a game, so it’s really disappointing that he’s going to be out for a while. But his bravery last Saturday, to stay out on the field with just one functional arm, to enable the team to have a vital few extra rotations, was truly inspirational. Richmond was already one player down, having lost Chris Knights for the match with a serious knee injury, so it couldn’t afford another casualty. Shane Tuck played his role for the team admirably indeed.

I know, but with 10 minutes to go and with the game wrapped up by 40 I just find it pretty ridiculous. The other mids can run out 10 minutes, let the guy who'd clearly in severe pain have a break. Anyway all said and done now.

Yeah don't worry i agree with you, bit of a strange decision.

It's about % . You guys wanna come 9th and miss the finals by a couple of %. They should honour him with a 100 point win over the Demons.

Champion bloke who keeps on going. It's a disgrace how he has been treated on Dimmas watch.

That's bull dust Nut , he'd be lucky to have missed 15 - 20 games under Hardwick . Those games have been valuable for the younger players to develop. If your mum didn't teach you how to wipe your arse you'd still be living at home if you get my meaning.

Who exactly were these players who benefited from Tuck playing in the VFL?

We'll cue the tumbleweeds, as we do for any serious question you're ever asked.

 

[sante]

I think Dimma realises these days that Tuck is very important to our team. At times the game is too fast for him and some grounds too big (Patersons) but other than that he will play all the time.

Deledio , Cotchin ,Martin , Jackson , Edwards . The midfield that will stil be there when he is gone.

Edwards hasn't been near the midfield for the vast majority of games Tuck has missed.

Coincidentally, the day he plays with Tuck in the midfield, is probably the best game he's played for the club.

The same can be said for the rest of the players you mention. There is plenty of room in a modern midfield for them to all rotate through together.

What you fail to realise or deliberately obscure, is that Tuck was left out so we could pretend the likes of Tambling, Nahas, Thomson, Hislop and Nason could take his place in the centre square, or better yet, that Ben Cousins had more quality football left in him and was a better role model.

We even found room for Mitch Morton in our midfield rotations while Tuck played VFL.

People have the right to continue feeling sick at having sat through a chapter of Richmond history that misguided and wrong.

That's not right .

Rayzor and TRT could you please take it elsewhere - we all know the argument for ech side and this thread was not meant to have anything to do with it. Now bugger off and let some of us enjoy a thread in the way it was intended.

 

[Jak!x]

Tuck is an absolute champion, spewing that Hawthorn let him go. Easily in the best 22 at Richmond (probably Hawthorn too) and should be a regular each week.

Don't be too hard on the Hawks mate, when he was on their list he was smoking more bongs than Cheech and Chong (allegedly). Hawks really didnt have a choice. Only pulled his head in at West Adelaide
