Player Watch #13: Darcy Tucker

[The Nostradamus]

Ultra reliable.

Goes in hard also

Very competitive but it did work against him when he ran over the ball went too hard to make amends and gave a free away

A lot to like tho about him as a player

 

[Passmore]

Doing his job. Can't complain

I hope we persist with him

 

[DuckYeah]

Good stop gap to allow a couple of our young half backs to develop in the scoobs. Hardeman is nowhere near ready

 

[travelli]

He reminds me a little of makepeace. He reads the play well and could get a few cheeky goals.

Got the funny kicking ball drop.

 

[Themanbun]

I reckon he'll place well in our BnF. Hard as a cat's head and is probably our second or third best runner.

 

[Harris 10]

When we recruited him I said we need him for 50 to 60 games. He should get around that figure.

he'll play more than that. Even the best teams need seriously good and reliable role players, which is exactly what Tucker is atm. He's had a very good year

 

[Shinboner '07]

Just does his job, no fuss. Handy recruit

Other than being a left footer I don’t really see it. Makepeace was a beautiful kick of the ball. Wouldn’t call Tucker that.

 

[tazaa]

That’s his best game for the year.

More games like that please

. And we got him and Logue for free - good list management by Rawlings again.

 

[Its a Process]

He’s workmanlike but he’s effective. He’s been great since he went to half back.

Tagger.

Size, tough, fit, strong, role focused and disciplined.

Make it happen Vinge.

Not enough explosive pace to clamp down on most of the comp stars IMO.

They said the same thing about Jacobs.

Did they? I always thought Jacobs was quick over the first 20m. Under 3 seconds if I recall.

I think others will go past him at half back, but at this stage he is still a valuable depth player. If he is around that 20-26 area in the depth chart then we are improving as a club.

I think he is perfectly suited to play as a more defensive utility. Come off the bench, play across half back, wing or half forward as a lockdown/accountable type depending on match ups. Similar to a Neal-Bullen type.

Not sure I’d want to sacrifice midfield time to other more damaging players so that he could play as a genuine midfield tagger. I think the acquisition of Parker will help a lot on the stoppage front.

His athletic testing was pretty sound, but prior to becoming a tagger he never really showed any speed on the field! Was considered a one place plodder by many on here.

 

[Themanbun]

by many on here.

There's the answer lol

Yep it wouldn't be pretty.

I often wondered how Cameron Ling successfully shut down stars who seemed much quicker than h was
