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

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.

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 :)

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
