Just wanted to share my experience...

I just got married on Saturday night and my wife planned a surprise visit from Luke Tapscott!!!! hahahaha

He came in looking like an absolute picture of health, muscles were just incredibly massive...I don't know if you guys have seen him up close recently but he is so so massive it isn't funny...

He came in taking the microphone saying that your wife mentioned how much of a passionate supporter you were and wished me all the best in life and hopefully they could win a few games for us next season! Handed me a framed squad photo signed by the team and got some photos with him and had a good chat to him one on one and with all the family who are melbourne supporters..

Incredibly nice bloke...

He mentioned that the mature age blokes have been brought in to pile pressure onto players that have been getting "comfortable" for a number of seasons...And he said that Neeld has sorted a lot of blokes out.....And i asked him who and he just said "a lot of blokes" again....

He said the training was incredibly tough but the guys are responding very well to it..

Just thought i would share some info with you guys..

Congratulations on your marriage TTT and what a good story ! Tappy is 200 game player I reckon . I know he could play up the ground but I like the idea of the "Menacing" half back flanker !

Pretty good effort all round by your wife and LT/club with the framed and signed team photo. Congratulations !

He doesn't need to refer or single out the individuals when referring to getting "comfortable". Fair to say most D'landers have a fair idea when "a number of seasons" is mentioned.

Congratulations dude! Oh, and the wedding is a good thing too...

Seriously though, that is a really awesome bit of promotional work by LT and the club, and no doubt made a special day even better for you and your family.

Also really good to hear the take on the mature aged recruits. As H_T says, we really don't need him to name names. There has been plenty of speculation on these boards about certain players who seem to coast through the season and get picked anyway. That little comment may be the most significant insight into Neeld's plans for the team that we've had so far. Nobody is safe and everyone has to work hard to earn a spot in the side.

Congrats, and thanks for the great insight into what's going on at the club.

I would imagine that with the recruits that have been brought in, there'll be a few players looking over their shoulders.

Well done TTT in the wedding, I had the pleasure of meeting tappy In koh samui in October, as well as trenners n big maxy, absolute ripper blokes, I walked up and said g'day and that I was from Melbourne and the young fellas pretty much took me under the wing all introducing themselves (like I didn't know who they were) and then the beers and stupid dances followed!! Trenners is a bloody mature kid he didn't even look like mucking up while over there, don't know if I helped them with there preseason tho.... Tappy is in rehab and maxy is done for the year.... Even so had to be up there as one of the better nights of my life !!

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
