Trengove noticeably lifts for the croweaters and Tapscott has joined that party.

Great pair.

Emmn, can't wait for another crow eater to join that trio, you forgot Jamar. Young Viney?

Scotty Thompson, lookout!

PS: Scotty, how did you go yesterdasy, against our best inside Mid, Beamer Moloney? I think we got Beamer to Melbourne when you left us...

    Since the first few games last year I have believed that Trengove is a better kick than Scully.

    It is one thing to get the ball but another to deliver it well.

    he seldom misses the target I have a gut feel we are looking at a future B & F winner.

    I have a gut feeling he'll be more than just a B&F winner. He'll be an absolute star.

    Jack's serious Norm Smith medal material.

    I thought Clint Bartram was in our best half dozen today for his tagging job on Thompson, we didnt get many chances to boo him thankfully! It did seem strange seeing Barts win centre clearances and even kick a goal, the first time in a long time I can remember him having an 'onball' tag for a couple of years...

    Trengoves attack on the ball with an opponent coming in hard, to setup a goal on our attacking 50 metre line in that last quarter was inspirational. He had a ripping game yesterday!

    Like your confidence BB but first we have to get there.

    That unfortunately is some years off.

    Happy for him to win a B&F in the mean time.

    I agree DemonDave. Trengove spun 360 off a bump at half forward; while under pressure, handball-ed forward through traffic to the player in perfect position; goal. He get's only one handball stat but it's gold. You need see no more to know that you're watching a champion-in-the-making. The great thing is that there was so much more to watch.

    On another thread, Demonlanders have referred to the old adage. "Looks like Tarzan, plays like..." Tapscott already looks like Tarzan & plays like King Kong. The steal of the 2009 draft.

    I'm a very proud contented SA Demon this morning

    They are both great young men, have met them both, JT more often and have found him to be a level headed and dedicated young man.

    On the field he is going to be a star.

    I cant beleive the lack of press he has received in his time.

    If he was playing for the Tigers now you can guarantee he would have had a story about him on the back page today, as is the love fest for Martin at the moment.

    It is also unbelievable that he could not crack it into the top 8 players for us in the Sun!!!

    Personally I would not swap him for Martin no matter how good Martin is looking now.

    I thought he was quite effective in the guts too. We can do with a couple more extractors and at the very least, if the ball is moving forward he is doing the job.

    Good move yesterday by Bailey to have Bail in the back half and Bartram in the guts.

    Credit due there.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
