Only early days, but first signs from Tappy are that Roost Its hunches are Shite! Been impressive so far.

Posted

so much man love for Tappy after today. Ready built footballer straight out of the box. Looked like a veteran. Would be happy to have 35 on the back of the jumper

Posted

And I think final signs are that Roost Its hunches are shite too! What a gun! :)

Posted

Yep, no doubt the kid can play and he has certainly proven he is no one-trick pony. Booming kick, accurate delivery, reads the play exceptionally well, strong mark, fearless and hard as nails! At least Roost It should now have the opportunity to reassess now that he has actually seen the kid play.

Posted

Brilliant debut. His kicking was top notch, he was hard at it, seemed to run it out no problem, and just overall didn't look like a first gamer. Loved it, and will easily hold his spot for next week.

Posted

So in love with this kid. What a man-child! :wub:

Great kicking, great hardness, great awareness, good marking. Excellent debut!

Posted

So which one of these is his one trick?

- The ability to take truly gutsy marks at critical moments in the game?

- Ability to hit targets consistently?

- Ability to win contested ball regularly?

- Ability to run through blokes in a way we haven't seen since Byron Pickett came to top up his super mid 2000s?

I don't normally like to say I told you so, especially after one game, but that was such a ridiculous call that I can't help myself.

Almost killed Rhyce Shaw in the last quarter, great debut.

I loved that hit, Tapscott is a MONSTER. He looks like a very promising player for MFC... Although I am disappointed I did not see him kick a goal from 80 out.. maybe next week.

Posted

Tapscott is awesome. He will play 22 games if he stays fit. Better on Debut than Watts/Trengrove/Scully. On par with Gys who played well in his first hit out last year. Lots to like about Tapscott!!

Posted

we have found an absolute beauty here.

Couragous, good decision maker, great kick and is bloody tough at the contest(just ask Shaw)

Well played on debut Luke

Posted

The only good thing out of this draw is that our points total is greater than Roost It's credibility total.

Posted

Very, very good debut. Cult figure status brewing.

Posted

great game...will he get a rising star nod?

Will go close you would think. Competition from Libba and Irons from Port maybe.

Posted

Very impressed with his performance today. I put him in my supercoach team @ just over $100,000 dollars the other night so am happy with that decision!

Posted

The only good thing out of this draw is that our points total is greater than Roost It's credibility total.

The winning margin is greater than Roost It's credibility total.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
