I actually don't think thats a bad thing, for how much shite he cops on here, he actually played bloody well last week as a back men, keep him there.

exactly some on here should watch the replay looks even better than live at the ground

Cops a lot from some here wish our more skilled players tried as hard

A real keeper down back even when Garland is back and Chip signs a new contract as full forward

    It's a sad story the Tapscott one, as he looked like one of our brightest prospects in 2011. Still remember his brilliant debut. Injuries and a lack of pace/agility/ball-winning ability have sealed his fate. Delist.

    Have you seen Jetta this year?

    I only have at training and he looks like he is in the best shape that he has ever been in.

    No, I haven't.

    I've seen enough over 4 years to realise that he's not up to AFL standard.

    If anyone can make Tappy into an AFL Player it is Paul Roos, but i think it is a big ask.

    I think his best position is in the backline, he can attack the ball hard and has a long kick but these days you touch the opposition and you give away a free, he is fighting a very uphill battle.

    It will take a miracle to keep Tappy on the list. Injury has limited his opportunities, but he hasn't done enough with the opportunities he's had. We have to delist at least five - I think he and Nicho are gone. Perhaps Pedo too, but I'm not sure of that.

    think pedo has another year to run on contract

    You may well be right but for all players I am completely discounting the last 4 years and will judge them on any glimmers of talent or progress this year and this year only..

    I remember hearing that players under Alan Jeans were always scared to tell them they were injured because they thought he felt it was the sign of a character flaw. I think you are from the same school Old Dee.

    That's a good call too.

    Hope reigns supreme.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
