2014 Player Review - # 35 Luke Tapscott

Another disappointing season for a player who has never been able to shake off injuries or rise to the form of his days as a junior. Has asked to be traded.

His path has been very disappointing, and certainly influenced by his injury woes.

Good luck to him in his quest for a trade - I am not sure if we would get much though.

 

He can never get out onto the park time to delist him.

Constantly injured and has never shown much when actually on the park in afl or vfl.

Just looks a super ordinary player lacking in smarts or speed. Doesn't look when he kicks it, just blazes away.


Never saw what others saw in him. Just a limited footballer. Trains well though, from what I've heard...

One of the most short sighted draft selections we have ever made. An extremely limited footballer who had success against his peers because he developed earlier than most. Once he was up against players of similar size and strength he had nothing to offer. Another who should have been delisted two years ago.

 

Can land a decent hip and shoulder.

Trengove's best mate.

That's about it.


Practically the only reason we drafted him was because he was Trenners best mate and would stop the homesickness that might have occurred with Trengove.

Did look good in defence in his second year then for some reason they shifted him forward and hasn't been the same since.

Great in a straight line as demonstrated by his hit on Shaw in his first game but has almost zero lateral movement.

It's a shame becuase he is one of the few Melbourne players who can kick.

Another who looked a million bucks when he came onto the scene. was super confident, courageous with a strong kick. I thought gee we got one here. but he got injured and never seem to develop.

Yes he lacked pace, but so does Neville Jetta. Don't know why he couldn't become a role player. Unlike Blease and Strauss, he loved the physical side but yet another who never made it.

Here is one guy who I desperately hoped would make it.

Is tough as nails, can kick the pill and has a bit of agro.

Unfortunately just can't take the next step however I liked how he played as an inside mid in the two's instead of on a flank where has has most of his career.

If he sticks around he needs to lose a few kg's and stay out of the gym. If its good enough for Jordan Lewis to slim down to assist his speed (or lack thereof) then its good enough for anyone.

I still hope he becomes something but wouldn't be surprised to see him on the chopping block.

Good post, but I have to say, you don't exactly have to be Nostradamus to make that prediction...

LOL. The rubbish pedalled here is amazing.

Not agile enough to play small.

Not AFL standard.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
