Shane Tuck shot to fantasy prominence in the back half of 2008 with an unbelievable run of eight scores above 110 in 10 games at an average of 112.4, making him one of the top scoring players in the Dream Team competition for that year.
As a result, he’s been a relatively popular fantasy pick for '09, but struggled early on to recapture the late season form his coaches were hoping for.
However, in the lead-up to the 2009 mid-season break Tuck has scored four consecutive Dream Team hundreds, coinciding with the return of inside players such as Mark Coughlan, Ben Cousins and Trent Cotchin to the Richmond line-up which has allowed him to play a more outside role.
Along with his point-scoring ability, Tuck’s durability is a key asset with 100 consecutive games under his belt as of this weekend... like father, like son.
Tuck’s mid-season breakeven of 65 indicates he is a player on the rise, and it may be a long time before he’s this cheap again - get on board!
