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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
