Please oh please can we see Tapscott crush the ever-irritating Milne this Saturday.

Please tell me DB will do his best to make this happen.

That would be good too, but I can't help but get my hopes up for someone as physical as Tap to do 'the job'.

I would be interested in seeing this, not just because I'd like to see the %$#@ist smashed and leave the ground in a number of pieces that exceeds five, but because I really would like Tapscott to be able to handle these small clever forwards in the future. I want to see that he has the pace and agility to shut these players down.

If he can then he's a huge weapon because we can start playing him on their most dangerous players and force them to play defensively on him when he rebounds, or simply get him to rebound on their poorest defensive forward regardless of how dangerous they are.

Is he up to it yet? Who knows.

I think with Garland being out, Frawley will play on Reiwoldt, which will be great to watch, especially since Reiwoldt pushes up the ground, allowing Chip plenty of chances to run and carry the ball.

For mine Bartram will most likely get Milne, and probably conceed 2-3 goals, as he does usually. If Tappy can get the job done though, that would be magnificant.

Kosi- Warnock/Rivers

Reiwoldt- Frawley

Milne- Bartram

Schineder- Tappy (a great match up IMO)

 

i'd prefer to see happy on a half forward flank or wing... i think we may see that in a year or so's time?

I think it's quite plausible, but it will depend on whether we can bring players in to release him further up the ground. Grimes is first in line to move out of defence.

I wouldn't have thought that Josh Hunt could be that sort of player either.

Ah yes, because someone with a build that's a little similar was able to become X player, Tapscott will too ;)


It is, however, a decent starting point when you don't yet have the evidence of seeing him play on him. We'll only know when we see it happen, which is why I said I'd like to see it happen.

why do we want to see him do it to milney so much?? id much rather he saved it for boomer harvey, daisy thomas, didak, ballantyne etc..........

We'd waste Tappy by making him play a defensive role. We need him to keep pumping the ball into the forward 50, so he needs to be on their #6 forward - McQualter or whoever.

I think Tappy works well on a back flank as when we have it in the forward line and the Saint are flooded back he ends up with the ball just outside 50... and BANG.


Bartram on Milne thanks. But I've got no problem if Tapscott cleans him up.

Definitely Bartram to Milne, the Tap for all his good graces, doesn't have the pace or agility to beat Milne decisively IMO and I think he would get caught out. Milne will probably end up with a few no matter who we put on him.

If someone else plays on Milne. Then Tappy can get a better run up to take him out. There is a nice red cross on the Saints jumper for the Bull to aim at.

Still not convinced Tappy is a Defender

Milne as a forward pocket is quite dangerous and Bennell would be my choice to play on him

I don't care.

He's a kid learning the game and he needs to learn to be more defensive and accountable for a damaging player.

No time like the present.

This is a development year, winning the game is secondary to ensuring the young players are completing thorough apprenticeships.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
