    I had Taggert and Tynan in my preferred Round 1 team vs Port

    Might have gone too early but I rate them both highly

    would have both of them in the MFC team ahead of a dozen of the current players

    We keep hearing from at least one poster here that (can't remember which) Taggert or Tynan "will be a gun"!

    Any thoughts from your personal observations KC??

    I don't think it's me but I do think he has considerable potential if managed right i.e. looking after his back

    KC, I haven't said this for a while but I, along with many others on this forum, appreciate your efforts to keep us updated about the scorps on match days and during the week. Reading your reports are always great as well.

    Thanks again.

    It will be a couple of years before you might be able to call either one a gun but I would have Taggert ahead in the race. His four goal effort could earn him a game at AFL level, if not next week, then soon after the break. Tynan could become a steady defender but I don't think he's going to become a champion.

    Taggert should make it. He's got size, fitness and skill he just needs time and to find the footy at VFL level. He'll be a midfield/forward rotation guy at AFL.

    Tynan I have big doubts on. Seems very slow and unskilled for a guy aiming to be an AFL defender.

    Is this round 8? if so this win (and percentage) should put us in the top 4.

    A couple of observations from Sandy (I was there to watch my nephew go around in the development squad):

    • A few people I spotted: Paul Gardiner, Choco Royal, Col Garland.
    • Hogan took a terrific contested mark in the 1st quarter and is a very strong kid! Will be immovable in a couple years.
    • Blease kicked a belter of a goal from near the boundary in the 2nd.
    • Regardless of whether he played a good game or not Jimmy Toumpas makes very good position as an outside mid.Will prove a good choice in time.
    • Magner shouldn't have been dropped.
    • Casey seem to be well coached.

    I thought Taggerts biggest weakness was his fitness? - wasn't he one of the slowest on the track over preseason? - maybe that was due to injuries

    Injury Young Dee.

    Rory has had stress fractures in his back and played virtually no footy last year. He did a limited pre-season this year. As you would expect his fitness is not at AFL level yet. But he will get there, and he has all the tools to be an 150 AFL game onballer/high half-forward.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
