I just had a quick look at Tapscott's YouTube footage and from that he looks like a real player with a deadly boot. Very excited.

What stood out for me was his pure arrogance and good body size. Neither go astray on the footy field.

His kicking is good as well.....

bp said he thought he was perfect fit as he provided us w another great kick but also he is a collision player. He loves to get in and bang bodies. We don't have many of those so he will be a great fit.

We need all those attributes, a touch of ruthlessness too. Hopefully it rubs off as they grow & develop together. It's exciting. He reminds me a little of the bloke in your avatar, yet he is not the one in the air.

tapscott on one flank, and kid sylvia on the other, opposition defenders beware, you'll get crunched on the rebound!!

AGREEE!!!

Sylvia and Tapscott... hard bodies on the flanks. Both can kick goals from anywhere within 60m. Both can add grunt with stints in the midfield.

Real impact players.

Opposition will be seriously scared.

Add to that Trengove is also a goal kicking midfielder.

It's always important to have midfielders that can kick goals so that don't rely on your forwards to kick big bags of goals to win matches. Just look at Geelong and WCE

Stable Pony!

I hope you're not serious, Tapscott will be a great player for us in the mould of Sylvia and to have those players as well as Moloney will give us a toughness we have lacked for years.

About the only thing he will have in common with a stable pony is that he has the kick of a horse.

The more I think about it, the more Tapscott reminds me of Col Sylvia. To me, Luke stood out the most of the South Australian's against Vic Metro, back in July at the Championships, so I was excited to hear his name called out.

He has way more power that Slvia. This kid is an absolute freak and will tear it up in the afl!

Tappy will turn it on at the G from 60 kicking over defensive zones and crashing packs at half forward to open up the game for others.

Oh I just cannot wait!!

Really excited about getting Tapscott to the club, was hoping we picked him at 11 but glad he slipped through to 18. Exactly the type of player we need across half forward, tough, imposing, and a massive kick.

i think he will be a favourite of mine. hard, tough and penetrating defences. might jump on board early with his number on the back.

Not the smartest move considering his number will most likely change over the next couple of years.

Although i do agree i think he will one of my favs with such attributes.

yes agreed. reckon he'll be given a high number to start with. maybe i'll get him on the jumper in a few years then. still deciding on what number to stick on my new one. i do feel sorry for all the people out there who got the 48 on their back. not sure the next number 48 will be as exciting. i spose it is convenient for all those robbo lovers out there though.

fantastic to get tapscott, trengove's best mate, especially at pick 18

there's footage of the two giving the old one-two against metro

plays exactly like chapman but with a better, bigger kick

he can walk straight into the team next year and will intimidate the opposition straight away. not bad for an 18 yr old

opposition players will need three sets of eyes with sylvia, tapscott and moloney reeking havoc

I cant wait either!

Sylvia has proved he can kick goals outside 60 at the G. With Sylvia and Tapscott kicking goals from 60 out is dangerous!

They both will bring alot of toughness and agression to the forward line also.

Bring it on!

My forward line breakdown....

- Watts and Jurrah to take the high marks along with a Jamar, Gawn, Fitzpatrick to crash the packs.

- Sylvia and Tapscott to lay bone crunching tackles and bumps.

- Aussie, Jetta, Davey and Maric to chase and apply defensive pressure.

- Fitzpatrick (201cm who can run and take a grab. Awkward kicking style but I think it is effective.) could be our likely FF along with leading players like Green and Bate. Can even throw in Garland.

Awesome! I can see that working!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
