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.

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

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

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.

Not bad.

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

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

Come on, at least let us have one positive thread around here.

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.

big Nathan Jones fan?

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
