Luke Tapscott

[Guest fitness]

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.

[H_T 3,043]

I suggested a week ago - "Mr T"

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

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

Tapscott, who I might call Bullet. He kicks it like a bullet and when he hits you you're down like you were hit by a...

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.

[The Great One 99 125]

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.

"you have been tapscotted"

"asta la vista, rhys shaw"

Just call it 'Innertia'...

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

Call him Bruce.

(as in Banner, for anyone wondering)

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 ), but that is just ridiculous.

On Tapscott... would marry

I like just calling him The Tap or The Tap Himself.

big Nathan Jones fan?

[Kento80 83]

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.
