no we shouldn't


We have Ball just keeping his spot and Armitage who are similar players and better prospects than Tuck.

He's good ordinary player of the ilk of several fringe players we already have who are younger and better and will 29 next season, why would you bother?

GOP is selling him a bit short. He was fourth in contested ball behind Ablett, Judd and Swan. We don't need him here, but we're a 21-2 team - we don't have a lot of holes. He would be a very handy pickup for somebody.


Yeah nah pleasing positive

will fit into our game plan nicely

i cant believe they delisted him when i think they could trade him

Behind Burgoyne as best mid on trade table

and face it, we are not going to get him

There will be a few older players that are capapble of being picked up as a late pick


I had originally said Robertson, but i think N Brown would be a better option

Can't agree regarding Robbo & Brown. You start looking at 'topping up' and you start taking your eyes off the long term goal.

Look at players that are going to give you 100 games service minimum.

PS Exception to the rule is ruckman - hence King & Gardiner I agree with.

Not out of current 22
Tuck is good
over 25 possessions, plus hard ball gets, he is very valuable, he is in a crap team and would blossom in our team, i loved the fact we went after Ray when others didnt, Tuck on paper is better than Ray
I still think Tuck got in their top 5 in best and fairest, and it was his worst year
but as depth and is willing to pay for 100k

If the unthinkable happens tonight, I reckon there'll be plenty here offering opinions on who we could drop... :wink:

Was asking about N Brown not Tuck. BTW don't think Tuck is any chance of getting a game when Ball and Armo can't and I believe both are better.

I would be happy for him to come across because:

1.He would cost nothing and plays tough contested football

2.He would be great back up if we lost two of our midfield rotation.

3.Although not young he would be more than handy during our "premiership window"

4.Like his old man he may keep getting better with age.

5.A change way from Richmond and to us would have to make you improve in many areas.

Can he kick over a jam tin?

Seriously.

BAll's pay cut could accomodate him easily.

Came 7th in their B&F, and he is 7 years older than ray was when we got him, and has at max 3 years left in him, and wouldn't get a game ahead of armitage. stevens or geary (all who are not in our 22 at the moment) why bother? A waste of a list spot.
