Luke Tapscott delisted

Featured Replies

Nothing personal against Luke, but thank god for that. 5 years on the list, and he only ever looked like an AFL footballer for five minutes at the start of 2011. Far better to cut our losses now and try someone else.

Now hopefully for Evans to join him so we can use all our draft picks.

" nothing personal against Luke" rates up there with "don't take this the wrong but...." and " I don't want be rude however"...

no offense..

 

Another first round pick special. Next

 

As with Jetta, would happily see him get a chance as a rookie.

Well if we delist JT and Evans and promise to rookie them, then there is no room for Luke.

Happy to have him rookied. He just hasn't had a decent run.

Neville is just the perfect example and role model of what a full pre season and injury free season can do to you.

Him and jetta playing as the Matthew Whelan types off half back would seriously make our team a whole lot better.

I don't see it happening for Tappy. He does not posses the tank to accomplish our 2 way running that is demended , can this be accomplished in 1 pre season ( if he can get through it ) ???

He is not in our best 6 backman or forwards especially if Nev continues as our hard nut back pocket type.

 

. Just couldn't find the footy.

That nails it.

I had high hopes but he just did not get it enough so that thumping kick did not count for anything.

Sorry to see him go but he had plenty of time to show us what he could do.


Would have been a fantastic early 90's and before footballer.

not so sure about that

what makes you think he would find the pill more in the 90's?

Clisby, Georgiou and Nicholson are gone as well.

that is a releif as i was worried that we might have trouble utilising our draft picks [or be ineligble for the PSD or delisted FAs.

Like Jetta, when he played that back pocket he looked OK, we just moved him around or he got injured. As a rookie you know that Trengove will go straight on to the long term injury list so a guy like Tappy or even Liam Anthony from North could easy play round 1 if we rookie them.

Well if we delist JT and Evans and promise to rookie them, then there is no room for Luke.

That's because we won't delist JT.

We can only "promise" to re-rookie if no one else takes them in the draft. Like with Jetta, Tapscott won't get picked up, so the option is highly likely. With JT, not so much.

Plus, if we delist him, we'll have to pay out his existing contract. We would be officially terminating his contract.

Good luck Tappy, ball is in your court from here.


yeh he kicked a whopping 12.16 in 48 games, many of them at half forward

Not whopping but did kick some beauties, Id rather him than a "supposed" AFL footballer , in Mc Kenzie with very limited skills, that misses a goal from point blank range 12 metres out ! Wouldn't you? IMO Tapscott more upside than the other two and he gets delisted . In spite of Evans having a contract and probably Jordy as well the way forward ain't with these two! In fact I reckon they'd struggle to get a run with Managatang magoos!

Why wouldn't you delist at least another one and grab some smoky with one of your last picks? Time to be Bold!! Evans far too injury prone and Mc Kensie's skills abysmal!

I just cannot for the life of me understand how DL is still talking about JT being rookie listed. The forum now talks about it as if its fact. Its bloody fanciful, never going to happen. MFC would be crucified, wake up!!!!

interesting you say Evans is far too injury prone - can't the same be said for tappy ?

And to top it off, WTE, they're starting to talk about re-rookie list Evans.

No, no, no, no, NO.

This place has gone (further) mad.

And it's unnecessary. Trengove goes onto the LTI and a rookie can be promoted in his place. Same result at a cheaper cost and with a commitment to a player (the new rookie) for one year rather than the two required for any new player drafted. More importantly, I have no desire to see our club terminate contracts and "pay them out". Every time a club chooses to do that it reduces its prospects of getting a quality player by free agency. Who'd want to come to a club that doesn't honour contracts?


Tappy is the only delisting not to be thanked on the MFC site, probably means he could be rookied. Or Josh Mahoney was away.

Don't be silly LDC. By delisting Trengove, we get to take pick 53 to the draft and pick up the next superstar, who will make an immediate impact and we're paying him at the base $54k salary or whatever it is.

(being sarcastic)

I am really sorry that he hasn't made the grade - looked great in his first quarter of footy, but unfortunately hasn't been able to repeat.

Good luck.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
