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

    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

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

    The decision to take this kid was a very smart one.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

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

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

  • Quote

    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.

    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!!

    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

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

    Very, very good debut. Cult figure status brewing.

  • Quote

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

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

    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!

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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
