Ok so Rory Taggert walked past me in the shops yesterday and when I say the kid is HUGE I mean HUGE.

He is a monster, I actually never realised this, and it was the first time seeing him. Has he be living in the gym all year?

Is he going to play Mid or is that the plan?

For those who havent seen him, he is just so built like a horse.

To be honest, I havent seen him play yet has any one??

Should Jamar be nervous?

That's the beauty of a long-term injury for a younger kid. Provided they are able to get over the initial injury, it allows them to build a frame for AFL quicker than say a kid who plays the majority of the season.

I simply salivate at the prospect of what Misson will be able to do with Hogan over 2 pre-seasons.

He's a bit of a unit.

Is he still recovering from the injury or is he likely to get a full preseason in?

At the player sponsors' function he said he was aiming for day 1 preseason, so I'd assume so. He said he could probably have played in August if he wanted, but didn't want to risk an Evans-style retrigger.

happily admit thats through to the keeper :unsure:

Max Gawn wished Jamar a Happy Birthday on 1st August, even though his actual birthday is 9th August. Max also wondered if Jamar could represent Australia in the Olympic in equestrian. Then the OP suggested that Tags is built like a horse, and, ah...don't worry about it, was just trying to make a joke, but it didn't work...!!!

Settle down fellaz, lets not go and over rate a player whose yet to play a senior game or even multiple Casey games yet.

He's actually played three at Casey but was only 100% in one of them and that was against Box Hill when he was close to BOG and kicked a couple of goals.

I sat next to him at a club function this year and he sounded keen to atone for his injury riddled year and to break into the Melbourne team at some stage in 2013.

Sorry to talk negatives but I will be impressed when the guy gets on the track on a regular basis.

Tapscott looks good but has been plagued by injury and when he has made it into the seniors has not looked better than a average player IMO.

It is a great start to have the body for it but lets see him in action with the big boys before we get too hot and bothered.

Does she write for the "West Australian"?

Taggert and Evans are two i have earmarked to surprise a lot of people this year.

Settle down fellaz, lets not go and over rate a player whose yet to play a senior game or even multiple Casey games yet.

I am sure most here would be extraordinarily happy to be totally surprised by these two.

Bring it on.

Will too. From now until March I can do whatever I want until I get run over by that reality bus.

This thread is complete rubbish.

I saw Taggert at training on Monday and was a bit disappointed with his size.

I guess some people are just easily impressed...

Has anyone in the thread rated him at all? The only thing being discussed is his size. Not talent or skill.

No one in this thread has stated that he is going to be a super start. In fact the only thing said is 'He is huge' and others are 'looking forward to his progress'

Sorry to ask the bleeding obvious but are you sure it was actually him? How do you know? was he wearing a name tag? We have another poster saying he was at training and was underwhelmed by his size - I'm confused ?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
