I'm not terribly fussed. Of course the worry is that it could affect him in the long run, but getting it early and with a body his age, hopefully there won't be a problem.

The clear upside to this is the ability to promote a rookie (i.e. McKenzie) in his place.

As far As I know, big Gawn is already on the LTI list, so we could promote two players? Maybe Spencer as well?

Michael Newton lives again

I would think that if we could promote another rookie apart form McKenzie, it would be Hughes.

This would be his last year on the rookie list and so he has to try and prove what he can do at senior level, so that we know whether he is worth placing on our senior list in 2011, or whether he should be let go.

With Newton we already know what we're getting, and lets be honest, placing him on the rookie list was a last resort measure to get around his existing contract and clear spaces for draft picks.

So Tapscott IS injured after all!

I was told he just had to go home for family reasons and that he would be back and firing straightaway.

Probably just a misunderstanding eh?? B)

I strongly doubt they just made up the passing of his grandmother, stupid and mean thing to imply, it was obviously a coincidence

Seems to be a trend with us, drafting promising kids who get banged up early. Gives us something to look forward to in the second half of the season if things are not going to well for us. Having late season debutants is always exciting. I wish him a speedy recovery.

A promotion is a must form the rookie list if Luke is out this long, and Jordie McKenzie is miles ahead of the rest for a call up. Spencer would also be in line given the shortage of talls.

Curry and Beer, where did I imply they made up the story about his grandmother passing?

What I implied was that we were not advised by the club of the continuous reason behind him not training / playing.

The deal re his grandmother was never in doubt in my mind.

Why don't you comment on fact and not perceived inferences? Pathetic post.

If you read and comprehend my post, you will see I said he had to go home and THEN would be back into it!!! This was not the case! He has been injured for some time.

Don't accuse people of being stupid and making mean posts, bud!!!

I just hope people get on to this forum for the right reasons and don't go off at other posters on a personal nature. This may not be the case here, but lets all post footy club stuff, not this other meaningless *&%#$!

While it seems that you were correct, I will say that there's nothing more annoying than someone saying they can confirm something, then not confirming it.

Sorry but I`m not into name dropping and gee, I`m sorry you had to wait 24 hours. If that`s the most annoying thing, your life must be a treat! I did say in a later post he`d be having surgery as early as today, which he did!

You may have been right, but you still didn't confirm it with anything concrete, as you claimed to with the thread title.

You don't have to be a genius to see that.

Gee, the geeza has a point! Seems like there is a bit of ego being rubbed here. Who gives a rats if he didn't "officially" get his thread title to your liking! As far as I can see, the title name is 100% correct. It's a forum at the end of the day, not the channel 9 news...and it seems Hell Bent hit the nail on the head before they did. Thanks for the update and thanks for sharing.

What about Spencer?

Got a corkie yesterday, but I doubt that'll keep him out for Round 1. With Johnson, Jamar, Gawn, and even Meesen all injured, surely we need Spencer to ruck for us.

There is no way Newton is getting promoted. His being shunted to the rookie list was akin to the club delisting him.

Next time, just don't put the word 'confirmed' in the title of the thread when you don't have any confirmation.

But don't stop posting any inside information you get. Please.

Don't know if anyone has already said this, but it is funny that here we have recruited a boy with the body ready to play, but he can't for four months becuase he is injured.

Ironic even.

Just like Judd was left til pick 3 because of dodgy shoulders and Joel Selwood lasted til pick 7 because of bad knees.

Surely we picked him for reasons other than his physique.

But I guess it's a bit ironic.

Apart from being a good mate of Trenners,he is also a thumping kick.

Personally I like the look of this kid.Given a few years,I think he could badly bruise a few oppentents. (another Viney)

If Tapscott is anything like Todd Viney he is worth waiting 6 months for. We have have not had a hard player like Todd Viney since Todd Viney!

I think you're mistaken.....does the name Cam Hunter ring any bells? hahah

?? Cameron HUnter ?? Where did you pull that from?

Let me guess...

Hunter had the build of a matchstick. Tapscott is very solid. That is chalk and cheese.

Hoping he makes a full recovery. But I dont expect him

to do much this year.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    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
