Interesting for me amongst all the fluff was the Tapscott comments. I took that as he might be needing to do a lot better. Might just be me

    Does anyone actually have Tapscott in their best 22 this year? If so where's his best position?

    I still can't work our if he's a defender, mid or fwd.

    Fair point. He's a straight ahead player and a long penetrating kick so I'd like to see him coming out of half back - but I not sure he'd command a spot there. As to mid field - he'd certainly add grunt but has he the speed to usefully dispose of the ball under pressure and in traffic? I like his aggro and his strength but he will need to impress in the preseason to get a game first up if everybody is fit.

    I have got him as an emergency. I think that is his best position at present however I will wait to see how he and other fring players peform in the NAB Cup.

    i agree bbo

    So far i have seen little to suggest he will be anything more than an average player.

    This year is the first time he has had anything like a decent pre season but he worries me.

    besides his aggression I do not see much.

    I am hoping 2013 we show more if not he might be a doubtful starter for 2014

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
