Looks like he'd give Frawley a run in the gym...

And he's only, what 18yo?? Bloody ripper.

Early bloomer I'd guess. I'd be surprised if he got much bigger, if any at all. I reckon of all those we drafted he'll be the one that hits full pace first. That is one hell of a neck.

It seems a bit unusual seeing such a well built kid. We've almost universally gone for the skinny kids in recent years.

Not wrong. His neck looks like he should be in the WWF, or whatever its called nowadays.

Cannot wait for this bloke to get in the mix.

It's the WWE nowadays, it clashed with the WWF (World Wildlife Fund or whatever it is) so they had to change it. Entertainment makes more sense as it's obvious how scripted it is :P

And that's one big brick shithouse

Hmmmmm, Perhaps Luke can show Morton some of his weight room habits...............

I saw that photo on someone else's computer from a distance, and I was dead-set sure it was Frawley.

What are they feeding this kid?

Really bad luck slipping on a sprinkler head... I'm not sure if this was during an mfc training event.

If it was at training then it's bad management to let this happen.

The playing list is our future and we can't take chances training on sub standard surfaces...

The Eagles used to trot out quite a few well built kids (at least after one pre season with them)in the 90'S :)

We've got our new training rooms. Maybe we can also recruit Mrs Tapscott as our diet and conditioning coach.

I know he's built like one, but should we call him 'tank' tapscott?

He's already got a nickname - Paws - as in Luke.......................................Tapscott.

Matt Burgan has certainly invigorated that site. There is a Q&A with Luke after his return with Casey magoos, plus a picture of the young fella.

He is built like a brick shithouse

good read, this kid is a monster :)

Gotch's review

""Luke Tapscott: We brought Luke in for his first game, and he’s going to be a good player. He showed enough in his first game, which was really pleasing. He was able to impact the game as a half-forward or midfielder, and he would have had 18 to 20 possessions, even though he wouldn’t have played more than 65 to 70 per cent of the game. He’ll only get better. There were just a couple of skill things, the under pressure sort of things that he’ll get better at. He’ll hit those targets by hand and foot. There were just a couple of little things in the game, when he might have got a little bit tired or fatigued because of the pressure. He has a lot of pressure skills, too - he likes to tackle, and likes to be hard, which is good. So, he was really impressive first up - he got through, and he’ll build on that.""

another likely lad :)

and eating habits..

Is he on the Jack Grimes Program of a few years ago. Get him through a few games and bring him in for a taste in the last couple of games. Hopefully Blease can also stay healthy and we see him against North.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
