    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!

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
