Luke Tapscott delisted

Because they signed a contract.

How they were offered a contract is also beyond me.

Correct me if I am wrong, but pretty confident Tappy has never got through a full pre-season.

I would love to see us rookie him, if by some fluke he can get over his rough run of injuries he would be a better prospect than most if not all available when selecting rookies. I understand the knocks on him but have seen him play very well at Casey and believe that with a full year injury free he has the ability to have an influence on AFL games.

 

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?

never stopped us getting a quality coach

The guy is a bust RGRS

All over lets look for someone who can cut the mustard at AFL level

LT clearly could not.

And neither can Skills Mc Kenzie and Evans

PAY THEM OUT and find a couple of late picks that might make a difference!

That is easy to say if you are a Collingwood or Hawthorn but a different matter if you are cash strapped like the MFC.

They will be around in 2015.

 

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

Not sure why with Tappy. No AFL tricks in the bow for mine.

Who have the Pies and Hawks paid out early?

How? All clubs have the same salary cap. It doesn't matter what club you are.

Always wondered what position Tappy could have made his own, reckon it had to be a Back Pocket, small with a big turning circle, congratulations on playing 48 games for the Dees though, a very similar player to Kyle Cheney who keeps on kicking on, so there is some hope.

Rookie-listing Tappy seems a strong possibility. His delisting has been handled differently from Blease and Strauss.

this is true.


Tapscott getting dropped the day before the next delisted FA period begins leads me to believe the club has somebody lined up for that spot on the senior list.

More likely they realised that it is pretty stupid not to use pick 40 when you have it.

" 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..

Its not you its me

Time to Move on...He had 4 seasons to prove himself

Wasn't up to it

Would Rip in the SANFL

Had many similar responses when I supported us putting Nev on the rookie list.

Not AFL standard blah blah blah. If Roos is going to Rookie list Luke, it's for a reason. I hope he does


Tapscott was training with the other 22 or 23 players this morning. Not sure if that's significant.

The below represents poor drafting, development & culture.... Whilst now it's in the past... The club should never allow this debacle to ever happen again.... Free agency aside on some of the players departure it reflects the club inability to attract & keep players!

Scully (pick 1), Morton (4), Gysberts (11), Frawley (12), Cook (12), Blease (17), Tapscott (18), Strauss (19), Maric (21) McLean (5) Sylvia(3) Trengove may never play again, Moloney & Rivers... All gone....

Tappy as with Blease always seemed a likely type however despite many opportunities both failed to deliver.

Injuries played a part in both cases.

 

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!!!!

Well DL is the be all and end all! I love JT and LT but TMI for me. I dont GAF about all the abbreviations on here and would love to FO before I get to PAAC!

Worse was that none of them...Well maybe Rivers aside...were actually anything but very average AFL players.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
