Gee 2 games in a row with less than 20 possessions. What is wrong with him is he carry an injury or is he strength depleted due to cutting of his hair. Was he really related to Sampson.

Probably none of the above, bu just could resist after he had a couple of quiet weeks. Thought I'd I ensure the trend continues.. :hihi
 
The bloke has worked real hard for some time now, wether its injury or just a purple patch, I'm not fussed, it allows others to share the load untill he comes back on song.
 
Probably the fact that after one season and eight games he can no longer expect to slip under the radar and have a free run during a game.

It's the backhanded compliment from the opposition, your too good for us not to take notice of you.
 
Don't worry just yet. I did start this thread a bit tongue in cheek. Even the great Tucky is allowed a couple of lesser games a year.
I am sure he will bounce back bigger than ever.

Go Tucky.
 
How about you try again constructively claw? I don't always agree with what you say, but it does stop and make me think twice. You might have a good point, we'll never know if ya just wanna spit the dummy :dummyspit

yeah, tend to think teams are giving him more respect... same with deledio
 
Heard a rumour he's carrying a little niggle...but nothing serious.

Can't elaborate...the above is all I was given... ;)

if so he is still making a solid contribution each week without dominating, always gives 100% so no surprise there, hopefully he can shrug off whatever he has soon and get back to his best, did slip his opponent a couple of times on the weekend and took a couple of marks inside 50 (kicked 1.1 from memory) so he is learning one aspect of beating a tag if that is what is happening.
 
still he bobbed up and kicked a nice goal.

of course he 'd be weary and have niggle issues.

Who wouldn't have running into packs the way he does. ...same with Cogs

who also bobbed up for a nice goal
 
Just as the Tiges size up the best opposition players to tag, the opposition does that to our boys too.

Tuck is clearly seen as the Tiges best ball winner through the midfield and consequently is being tagged.

Now its up to the boys to knock off Tucky's tagger, and also for some other boys to stand up in the midfield too.
 
I still believe Tuck would be leading our best and fairest right now............
 
As we get more midfield options players like Cogs and Tucky will get a rest and spend less time in the middle. This means they get less possessions but others are making up the slack.
