Pretty straight forward, I think- Sam Blease for me. Was very excited that we recruited him and also saddened when he [censored] his leg.

Itching to see what pace he can bring and how his fine delivery and ball winning abilities may add even more X factor to a team thats starting to look like the justice crew

Max Gawn I believe to be the man whose impact could serve us best. He is a mountain and if he comes on correctly, Jamar/Gawn alone = major headaches for any team. Go dees

    I voted Luke Tapscott from all reports he could very well be "our" version of Paul Chapman.

    tapscott, then fitzpatrick

    tapscott is going to be a genuine freak

    if fitzpatrick agile as anything, good dukes, could be important as we will need a ruckman goalscorer and i think this is our most likely option.

    Tappy could definately add that hardened edge we have been crying out for. Who would tappy push out? A Dunn, a petterd, a Bennell if Blease comes on?

    Whilst I think Blease will be more important in the long run, I really want to see Tapscott out there. Just feel he could be something special (Blease too, but Tapscott might make his mark from the get go).

    Can't wait for tapscott.

    Gawn will be the most important part of a premiership core setup. Don't know how good Jamar will be in 3-4 years so If this guy matches the hype it will be huge

    I'm kind of hopeing he's ready while Jamar is still fireing and there can be a smooth transition of sorts... because I want everything to be rosey of course.

    When all is said and done, assuming Gawn comes on, do you think MFCs future number 2 ruck is currently in our squad?

    I know he has already debuted but for me its Gysberts. Joel Corey Mk 2.

    Blease on both counts. No contest.

    Man Mountain Gawn for me please.

    A bit of a tuffy, cant wait to see Sam and Luke but i only hope the we will dominate from the first bounce with the 208+ cm Max in the near future, may be as good as Sandilands B)

  • Quote

    I answered the first question in favour of Max Gawn, not just because I'm his sponsor but because it would be great to see the 208cm ruckman run out onto the G and destroy those midget ruckmen like Jolly and co.

    Sorry i missed your post -- me too!

    Anyone aware of Fitzpatricks progress? Bulking up? Working on getting his kick more penetrable? He could be our Hale type after all?

    Watch this and tell me you're not excited about seeing Blease in action!

    Very impressive speed and "nimbleness"!!

    Ahhhh... but for the broken leg.

  • Quote

    Blease obviously.

    Not so obvious when we have Scully and Davey in the guts for pace.

    However... a Luke Tapscot (likened to a Paul Chapman!!) is the kind of player we miss. Small bulky forward that can run around all day and take and make a decent hit.

    Can't wait.

    Future Forward line in 3 years time (omitting Green): Aussie, Jurrah, Tapscott, Petterd, Watts, Sylvia... with Bate on the outer. **drools**

    No James Strauss?

    No one think we need players who can penetrate by foot between the arcs?

    Strauss debuted at the start of this year. Would like to see alot more of him

    Tappy. Geez I've heard some great things about him from some serious players in the Adelaide market. Big, big, big wraps on the lad. Let's hope he can at least make some of those wraps true at the MFC.

    Tappy first then Sammy Blease (I hope).

    I think Tappy will be debuting rnd1 2011, Blease will need a very solid preseason and strong Casey form to push for a mid season debut barring any nagging leg issues.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
