I think they should put Blease in the rack until next year. Another preseason will do him the world of good, especially if he gets started early and they manage him correctly.

What's the chances of Tapscott playing a couple of games this year, and by next season have something in common with Jones? I think this kid will hit the ground running, earn a Rising Star nom in the last game, and get nominated again next year! Wishful thinking I know, but think we might have a very good player in L Tapscott.

He has done little or no pre season and will have missed 15 weeks of the season. He would have little or no match fitness and would probably start in the Casey 2s and play a half for a week or two then extend it to a full game and might be a possibility for a couple of full games in the VFL 1's. If you think he will get an AFL game and a rising star nomination in the last round (wow he's a star) or you may think footballers are plug in and play types.

In the 6 or 7 weeks left this year, Tapscott will do well to be competitive for 4 quarters at VFL level.

A possibility for 2011 debut for MFC.

Chuck him and Blease in for the last couple of AFL games, look what it did with Grimes

My understanding was that this is round 13? or Have I missed some weeks?

I'm no medical or fitness expert RR, and let's face it, you probably aren't either. But, if he is 1 week away from playing football, that means his fitness must be building very nicely. As you stated, and are correct in doing so, he would have no match fitness at all, and for those that have played the game, match fitness is a totally different ball game than anything you can do on the training track.

That said, 6 solid weeks at Casey would be a perfect way of getting that match fitness to a level that will be required of him at AFL level. If he can do this is a couple of stints for Casey reserves, then earn a spot in their seniors, play a couple of good games in a row in the seniors, then anything is possible in regards to seeing him in the big league before seasons end. We all know Bailey loves giving a couple of newies a sniff at seasons end.

One thing you have to remember with Luke, he's not a kid. He has a man's body, therefore is more likely going to be able to cope with a quicker rise to the top than a scrawny kid who may have been picked up in the same draft as him.

My post that you obviously thought was lacking any thought process whatsoever, was directed at the fact that it is possible for Luke to play 1 or 2 games this season. The wishful thinking was in regards to him coming in and playing 2 blinders to snag a late rising star nomination. I'm the first to admit that the odds for Luke getting a game would be high, let alone getting a rising star nomination, but I'm happy to waste $20 of my hard-earned if you want to put up some odds for us hopeful, wishful, mug-punters. I'm more than man enough to put some money on the table, are you man enough to offer up some odds to support your "educated" opinion?

His six solid weeks will probably involve 2 half games at Casey 2nds as he is coming off a low base of match fitness. And he turns 18 next week. He is still a kid, bulky or otherwise.

Save your money and spend it at the Demons Megastore. I hope your wishful thinking is correct.

Per the Ops post Tapscott was 2 weeks away.

Round 13 plus 2 weeks plus 7 weeks equals .......

Chill

Yeah stuff'em lets do it without regard for the players disposition.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
