Brent Tuckey (born 27 August 1979) is a former
Australian rules footballer who played for
Collingwood and
West Coast in the
Australian Football League (AFL).
Brent Tuckey was drafted to the Collingwood Football Club in the
1996 National Draft as a 17-year-old, with pick 19. He was unable to break into the line up in his debut year and in 1998 he made his debut late in the season, played only three games. In 1999 he was to have yet another disappointing year in the seniors, managing only seven games, and his potential and high-flying was the only thing keeping him at the club. He played eight games in 2000 and kicked six goals, used as a centre half-forward. In 2001 Tuckey would continue his inconsistency and lack of form in the reserves, and manage only one game for the year before being delisted.
