Travis Tuck

Featured Replies

 

I think that Roos would be prepared to give Tuck a second chance in the AFL if he is good enough. Tuck would run through walls for a team prepared to take a chance on him.

 

Happy to take him if he has it in him to pull the jumper on and do the hard yards

The type of player we need...worth a rookie selection!


Clearance specialist. Would he be worth pick 57?

No use rookie-ing him. Don't see why we'd recruit a 25 year old hard bodied on baller just to have them play at Casey all year.

 

wouldn’t he be a de-listed free agent?

No. If you are delisted you can be picked up in the designated DFA periods in the year you were delisted.

He has been playing SANFL and he will have to go through the draft like everyone else.

A big bodied 188cm tall midfielder who is a big time clearence machine in the SANFL.

Yes please.


It won't be this year at least. The list is settled is it not?
Let's see how year one of the Paul Roos reclamation project goes and if it goes well, then let's think about Travis. If it's the same old same old, let's focus on getting that right first.

Andy Collins says so? Well, that makes it massive no from me.

Why would you say that?

I think Nicholson and Jetta are still OOC.


I'd throw him in as a maybe in the rookie draft, but would be putting the likes of Tom Langdon, George Hampson, Nathan Gordon and Brad Dalziell all ahead of him.

If we didn't land Vince/Tyson etc., I would have been for Shane Tuck. Neeld might have considered Michael, the way he was recruiting old rejects.

I really hope he comes into consideration with one of our late picks, or at least the club interviews and tests him.

I would also be happy to see the back of one of the OOC players if the club would want another selection to acquire him on the basis he passes the above.

He really falls under that flavour of the month, tall (190 cm) strong bodied midfielder - so I won't be surprised if he is picked up by one of the clubs.

Why would you say that?

Because I don't rate Andy Collins as a good judge of players.

I thought you might have had a more personal reason or contact with him as a player.

Andy Collins support is probably the only thing that WOULD make Travis Tuck worth considering for me.

Thoughts on Travis Tuck?

Trouble we don't need;

Add value; or

Worth a look?

I'd definitely consider him worth pick 57 in this draft.

Not sure the club will though.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
