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!

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
