It’s pretty hilarious that some people were questioning the Tucker pick up.

Standards. Standards. Standards.

Once is enough.

Yet I'd trade Xerri every day.

Hey Luke still working out in a T-shirt I see, you still bit nervous about the dad bod?

Pretty good tshirt though.

 

[Fish Sticks]

I would pick Firrito, but that’s no sleight on LMac.

Firrito was a bloody good footballer and extremely underrated.

It’s Lloyd Christmas’ speciality…
‘What you think player X/Y/Z is a good player!? Well I’d prefer Wayne Carey’

I would prefer Wayne Carey.

Sorry for rating the best player of all time.

How silly of me.

But who would you rather out of LMac and Xerri is the million dollar question?

LOL!!

What's option C?

 

[shinboner magic]

Solid unit this guy.

Will take greenwoods games off him.

 

[Roosurgence]

Mahoney and D is Spicer before you ask

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

I pick The Spice Man.

Ta.

 

[Roosurgence]

I pick The Spice Man.

Ta.

I would pick option E and I haven’t even decided who that is

 

[Deddy]

Darcy is going to show our boys what a professional footballer trains like. He leaves nothing to chance. Going to be a good pickup for us.

 

[benbanjo]

Let's not forget we had Kyron on the list before we get too excited, looked like tarzan played like.... an unco Tarzan

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

If Darcy *er is near as good as LMac, or even better to be like Firrito, we have a great pick up.

Let's see.

AFL has told clubs tonight that the medical substitute is out. Will be replaced by the tactical substitute - four on the bench and then a sub to be used at any time for any reason. AFL Commission set to approve change in December.


Tucker would be perfect for this tactical substitute. Can play in multiple positions and has enough experience to impact the game.

it’s such a ridiculous change. If you want 5 on the bench make it so, but if you’re reducing the number of interchanges it seems counterproductive to increase the bench. Time to accept injuries are just luck and are part of the game.

FWIW I think you’re right and he would be good but I suspect he would rather play the full match.

 

[dus]

Lol. Tactical sub.

Just get rid of that shit. Stick to 4 on the bench. Unlimited rotations.

Get an injury, too bad.

I disagree.

Even though this change was bought in after he joined us, im fairly certain Clarko would have approached him with a specific role in mind, and I don't think that was the sub role.

I don't think he would have accepted that role either. Seems counter productive to what he was seeking.

But yes, I see your point with his versatility.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Going to be very interesting to see what role the club thinks he will be most beneficial for us. He can play as a midfield tagger, lockdown half forward, genuine half forward, wing and half back.

With his tank I reckon he’ll find a home as a defensively minded wingman. Similar to the role Froggy used to play. Tucker however has a few more tools at his disposal (long kicking, run/carry) compared to Frog.

It'll be wing as you say.
