Was watching the game yesterday and despite the disappointing result, one massive positive was the performance of young Luke Tapscott. Or is it Tappy?

Not sure if the lad has a nickname at the club yet, but I would like to propose he be known as 'Keith' or 'Bluey'. Obviously in reference to Keith 'Bluey' Truscott.

(Not suggesting he'll win it this year - who knows!!?? - but I think it rolls off the tongue quite well).

Go Keith Go.

I suggested a week ago - "Mr T"

Don't know if it will catch on. He led by example apart from two blemishes.

His is known as "Bull" around the club apparently. Perfect for him.

Take that one step further: "Raging Bull" (apologies to Mr Scorsese)

Has become my favourite player and when i am able to buy a new jumper i will get 35 on the back.

I would love to see him on the forward line, and not down back. ;)

We still wouldn't get many inside 50s, but that's mainly because he'd be kicking goals from outside...

I'm happy with Tappy or bull. However for another option.

Many will recall his selection when Luke Ball was in the air and people were highly interested to see where he would go.., Pick 18 came, Luke...Pause...(would it be Ball to the demons) no ..... Tapscott. So what about 'BALLS'...

.. He certainly replicates the original 'Balls' Grinter but even more so. All the stars line up on this one.

BT was also refering to him as "Bull" on the broadcast of the game.

Cannot believe this KID has only played 2 games. He is rapidly becoming a favorite.

Not bad.

Bull, Balls, Tappy, Bullet...the list goes on.

THE TAPSCOTTINATOR!!!

"you have been tapscotted"

"asta la vista, rhys shaw"

Just call it 'Innertia'...

We could call him 'MO'.... short for mo-mentum.

fast forward a couple of years to 'Luke Tapscott - Absolute Liability'

i am over getting excited by brand new players, none of them ever become stars at this club and then we turn on them for it

Nathan Jones was very popular early

it's bad though isn't it

we wet our collective pants over Bate, Bartram, McLean, a million others, but we as a club demonstrate a continued inability to develop any talented kid into an A-grade senior player

Morton and Watts FCS what raw talent, how would they be going at Collingwood?

If you can't get excited by young promising players you may as well give up following an AFL club right now.

I've heard of bitter and jaded (no pun :rolleyes:), but that is just ridiculous.

On Tapscott... would marry :wub:

Back on topic, if Bull is the official club nickname, I'll roll with that. However I reckon Mr T goes alright.

Nope and don't recall ever being a big fan either.

Jones had an impressive debut season back when the pace of the game wasn't as high as it is now.

The skills Tapscott displays have always and will always be valuable in the modern game and if you choose to ignore his talents to try and protect yourself from disappointment, than that is your choice. But don't drag others down into your own misery hole.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
