Likewise, I think your memory is just as short if you think playing Tucker there would have helped. He's not very good and the only times he's played ok have not been on the wing.
Tucker played some good footy and was clearly above wafl level last year
"We're playing to win, which is a lot of different things and it's a pretty broad topic, but we've just embraced the chaos of the game and understood that the next moment is your most important moment."Some interesting stats based analysis:

Let's agree to disagree.
Tucker only ever played AFL standard footy as an onballer. Unfortunately it's not a position that teams want or need adequate players in. It's where the stars play.
You mean Minchin, yeah?
Both Timmies are Dockers fans. Thankfully Tim Gossage is not
Nice! Didn’t realise we had Winton as well.

Schmooky sure does love a stat.This is a good read - numbers backing up our turnaround. We can beat anyone.

That's straight up trolling.
Ryan Daniels: Nat Fyfe 4.0 still the player Fremantle Dockers need for premiership push
Ryan DanielsThe West Australian
Nat Fyfe is not the player he used to be.
Also, the sky is blue, the grass green, and Tim Tams are delicious.
Time waits for no man, not even Nat Fyfe — a guy who set the bar so high even Nadia Comaneci couldn’t reach it.
While Fyfe can’t be his old self anymore, the truth is he doesn’t need to be — what the Dockers need right now, is exactly what Fyfe currently is.
We’ve seen multiple versions of Fremantle’s No.7.
The skinny kid who could leap like Baryshnikov, the hulking inside mid with arms like The Rock and a penchant for embarrassing his taggers and the all-conquering Brownlow medallist — complete with articulation and unrivalled brand awareness.
Then, of course, the wounded warrior — the one who’s spent as much time in a surgical gown as he has a guernsey.
Back, knee, elbow, shoulder, foot, ego. Everything bruised and battered, vulnerable and desperate, like a Gladiator that’s lost his sword. And now, this. The final edition.
The sage, wise, veteran. The one who’s been all those other versions, lived the highs and the lows, sat slumped on the MCG after a grand final that was closer than people remember. Sank champagne on stage with Bruce, after dropping a speech that was equal parts mesmerising and charming. He’s watched and wondered if the game’s gone past him, talked himself in and out of redundancy, changed haircuts more times than Frenchie from the Pink Ladies. Thrived under the brutal, whimsical, punishing, and pivotal reign of Ross the Boss, and struggled to find his happy place under Justin Longmuir. Until now.
In announcing his intentions, Jordan Belfort style, Fyfe puts to bed those rumours, those thoughts, those suggestions.
He’s not f...... leaving.
Was there interest? Yes. There was. It never got to the point of money, or trades, or even sit-down meetings. But clubs called, they asked the question.
Could a move have worked? Collingwood, Brisbane, a reunion with Ross at St Kilda. Sydney maybe. All great options but all without a guarantee. Just more maybes.
If you think he should’ve gone flag chasing, the Dockers are as well placed as any club to win one these next few years. He’d be a dog going after his own tail.
At the end of the day Fyfe’s entire body of work has been painted in purple. For him to leave now, to chase potential glory elsewhere, would be like running 41km of a marathon, then jumping on a motorised scooter for the home stretch.
Then there’s the nightmare scenario.
If Fyfe left, and Fremantle finally lifted a cup, there’s not enough melatonin or lavender in the world to help him ever sleep again. In his own words, one flag at this club is worth five at another.
The Dockers probably won’t win it all this year, They dug themselves an early hole and will find it almost impossible to fill it all the way back up. But next year? The year after? This young list isn’t going to get worse.
Andy Brayshaw, Caleb Serong, Unicorn Jackson, Jordan Clark, Jye Amiss, Matt Johnson, Neil Erasmus, Heath Chapman, Brandon Walker, Michael Frederick, Brennan Cox, Sean Darcy, Hayden Young — none of those guys are older than 24. There’s a near certainty none of them have hit their playing peak.
Gone are the million dollar paydays, Fyfe himself said “financially at this point of my career its somewhat irrelevant”. We can’t ignore that. This is a guy who could’ve been more demanding. He could’ve held the Fremantle list ransom, refused to budge on money and ended up costing them a Cox, a Darcy, or a player yet to be added. Or forced the Dockers to make an awkward, unwanted decision to let their greatest ever player walk to another club.
Nope. He’ll be earning roughly 40 per cent of his former wage. Something his party suggested, not agreed to. There’s not a club in the AFL that wouldn’t take current day Nat Fyfe for that kind of discount.
Sacrifice. And not just financially.
It's dumb as shit but this kinda content(I'm beginning to loath that word.) Designed to piss people off brings engagement which brings eyes on advertises. That's how the current media model works.
I would be sending Paul to get a brain scan and hope he hasn't suffered any injuries from his career.
How so?
