Trengove + Tapscott

Bang Bang Bang
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
