Tuck

[Wrenny]

Good debut i thought for the game time he had 13 disposals.

He has got to play the whole year now along with moore pettifer and schultz.

Does anyone know how long till cogs and Andy will be back?

Would love to see moore play until archibald is back and then archibald gets a few games.

Hartigan and roach has to be back. How good would roachy be as a forward pocket has he played there before. We should leave him there for a bit.

Andy's still got a while... Cogs is anybodys guess.


Tucky was fantastic I thought.

Pettifers not over the line yet however it's god to see him finally start to play some okay footy.

I hope he makes a few of us eat our words, including myself.

The kids,Schulz,Moore and even Tuck seem to be able to play with one another on a level that doesn't exist within ANY of the seniors.

Start of a new Dawn.

Amazing how much Shane Tuck looks and moves like Chris Judd ...

Yes. Excellent debut.I've seen a couple of his games at coburg and his inclusion was well overdue.He's well balanced and looks comfortable at AFL level. Play him till the end of the year.

I didn't want to say it and sound crazy, but I was thinking the exact same thing watching the game. Almost a cross between Judd and Jared Brennan IMO the way he moves.
Geez guys with Schulz and Tuck, Coughlan Brown Stafford Ottens in the middle, the other forwards......get yourselves a decent backline (and coach) and your set. Plus a few good kids in the draft, and trades....Next year and beyond GET ON! This coming from a saints supporter!
Very impressed tonight, that effort would've beaten probably 10 others team.

Can anyone tell me why that Idiot coach we have took Tuck off in the last quarter?

 

[kretchy]

Good solid debut by Tuck, perhaps could have had a bit more ground time. Hopefully he starts on the ground next week.

I was thinking Judd... he also reminded me of Brennen a little.

Looks very promising. Solidly built and seems to have the smarts.

At last frawley is listening to all the BF pundits and playing the kids. They're embarrassing some of our senior players. These kids must not be dropped for the rest of the year.

Wait until you see him carry the ball one-handed! Will look the world like Brennan then!

In all honest though, the player he looks most like is this skinny fella who used to wear #17 for the Hawks!

Why did he get dragged with 2 minutes to go when he was contributing?

Great first game. 3 inside 50's resulted in marks and goals......

My guess is that with the game on the line and theoretically up for grabs (Lions were in training-match mode in truth), they were of the opinion that it was no place for a debutant. Makes sense I suppose, have your most experienced group out there when the stakes are highest.

Or perhaps - more cynically - he was doing too well and we needed to protect the priority pick!
