Tapscott's hit behind play

Featured Replies

Posted

I saw the reply and it was not much but he gave a decent hit off the play when the player was not ready for it. Could get a week for it.

This kid is big, he loves himself and he is arrogant. People behind the scenes say he is arrogant very confident, but by god I love it. No one else did anything last night but he tried to enforce physical presence on the field and we needs more kids like him. Enough of this crap being pushed around by other teams.

 

There was no high contact but would guess a one game suspension reduced to just carry over points with a early guilty plea if he is sighted...

I only seen it the one time and did not think there was much in it.

Then genius Quarterofabrain starts up with his "I think he could be in trouble," and then mentioned more crap later in the game.

Just venting, but I cannot stand that bloke.

Thankyou, rant over.

The general opinion :)

Quarterbrain is an idiot and I'm happy to see all of the TV rights go to Seven so that I don't have to listen to him.

Bull will be incredibly unlucky to get a week.

There was really nothing in it... low contact, medium impact, reckless possibly... that's not a week is it?

i remember when i used to like him after i heard he fronted up to Van Damme after he hit on his woman

then i heard him in consecutive GFs - bringing absobloodylutely nothing to the game!

The hit was just as bad, if not worse than Rioli's hit on Jones - which he copped a week for. Might be lucky that unlike Jones, the bloke Tappy hit didn't stay down like he got shot.

...unlike Jones, the bloke Tappy hit didn't stay down like he got shot.

Hope you're not inferring Jones took a dive. If Jones stays down, you can be certain he has been hurt... don't forget, he's the guy that wanted to get back on the field after breaking a bone in his back last year. Pity we don't have a few more as hard as he is.

 

If Daniel Jackson can get a week for a deliberate elbow to a guys head with his bad record Tapscott will probabaly get 2 weeks! Really nothing in it and just a typical overreaction from a commentator.

I am all for protecting players but if he gets cited it just goes to show how over the top the system is getting.

On a side note, how did Scarlett even get cited last week for a legitimate spoil. He smashed the guy in the process, fairly, but cos it looked rough we better look at it. So annoying how you cannot touch anybody these days without giving away a free kick or being reported.

A week would be harsh.


Cant stand Quarterbrain

Josh Kennedy for WCE did the same thing last year in a NAB Challenge match against us and bumped Sylvia and broke his jaw.

I remember how they didnt capture the footage of the bump, so Kennedy got off suspension, then a couple days later the footage of the incident was released. Bizarre!

If Tappy gets weeks just shows how screwed up the AFL tribunal is.

At worst a free kick.

Can't believe it's even being discussed.

He is my uncle and I still concur. Gives shocking Christmas Presents too.

Are you serious? Rioli used his fist and punched Jones in the ribs whilst not in play.

Rioli wanted to hurt Jones. Tapscott wanted to block.

Yep, soft.

Nicoski should be embarrassed that he stayed down so long for that hit.

Nothing in it at all.

He laid a bump that was 100% legitimate in football in every way except it was more than 5 meters away from the ball at the time (say 10 m). As a result it probably should have been a free kick. All this talk about low/medium/reckless/intentional etc only applies if he commits a reportable act. In this case the contact was legal so none of these apply.

If you applied those things to every contest in the game people would be reported all the time. Think a typical high tackle - high contact, reckless action, low impact. Everyone would get 70 points every week just for turning up.

    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?
