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. ;)

    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"

    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.

    • 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?
