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.

yeah watching his highlights he kinda reminds me of Paul Chapman. Strong, big kick and good balance.

    Can roost it 60m

    ... dead straight. Even from the boundary line, either side.

    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.

    The more I see and read about this kid the more I like.

    Check out some highlights

    and
    highlights.

    the boy can kick and can kick long, loves a goal, tough, aggressive, can take a mark and is best mates with Jack T.

    Really good pick up

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
