While stats don't show the whole picture, it does show that Chapman was not always as good as he is now.

Tapscott has a hell of a lot of development in him.

Stuart Dew, Aaron Hamill, Ryan OKeefe. Just a few handy forwards which Tapscott should be aiming to emulate.

I respect your opinion. I just disagree with limiting him to the backline. I would love to know Tapscott's own thoughts on where he should be played.

I find Tapscott one of the harder players on our list to project.

He has a strong body, but he really hasn't done a lot of preseason running. The question is about how good a runner he can become. Chapman became a really good runner after a slow start. If Tappy has it in him then he could become someone who plays bursts in the midfield.

If he doesn't then he'll be a fringe player or a role player.

I'd love to see him do a proper preseason. We'll have a better idea after he gets some proper running into him..

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
