WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JIMMY TOUMPAS

[P-man 13,366]

This guy will sell memberships, and I'm not just talking his extended family.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Whatever Toumpas is on, I want some.

[daisycutter 29,605]

yeah, i wish hazy (and his mates) would take some too

[ben russell 764]

Out of interest, is his surname pronounced 'Tumpas' or Toompas' ?

Gloating at work so just want to make sure I'm saying the kid's name properly!

My understanding is the second.

[Slartibartfast 17,201]

How happy was Jimmy "the Gun" Toumpas ? I doubt I've ever seen a new draftee as excited and as exuberant.

I'd have been pretty excited too if I'd dodged the GWS bullet.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Imagine being drafted by port. Poor Ollie.

The go home factor is strong in this one.

[hardtack 10,517]

I'd have been pretty excited too if I'd dodged the GWS bullet.

Yes, I have to say that Whitfield didn't exactly look too excited about his selection.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

I bet knowing exactly where you were ending up a few weeks, if not months out would mean less excitement on the day compared to some one not knowing exactly where he was headed.

[Guest NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

This guy will sell memberships, and I'm not just talking his extended family.

Let's just let him stick kicking footies shall we? We've got a whole marketing department for that ...

*Boom-tish*

I got that initial feeling with Wines.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Whitfield looked ecstatic by comparison huh !! lol

Dimitri would have been praying

'please Melbourne'

Pick 4 The Melbourne Football Club.......... Jimmy Toumpas ......

't f f t !!!'

[Forest Demon 4,681]

<scully paranoia> Looked a little too happy in the interview, looked like a front to me </scully paranoia>

On a serious note, was great to see a kid picked by Melbourne and look like he had just won the lotto while potting Heidi Klum. Welcome to the MFC Dimitri.

[Johnny Jimbo 26]

MFC sure love kids with names starting with J..

[Pegasus 7]

I remember the year Jack Watts was drafted, and the draft commentators said there wasnt a happier person in the room than Michael Hurley when they read he was going to Essendon.

I dont think there was a happier person in the entire country than Jimmy when he found out he was going to the dees. Fantastic to see and can not wait to see him tear it up on the MCG.

[Deecisive 1,709]

If you look at the draft spread Jimmy's choices of club were GWS, Melbourne, Bullies, Port and Brisbane if he fell down to 8th. No wonder he was happy.

I gotta say I felt sad for Wines, he looked happy in a sad sort of a way.... It will be interesting to see how Baloney fares next year with Wines breathing down his neck for a spot in the Brisbane Midfield.

He went to Port mate, not Brisbane.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,026]

I have to say I'm pretty damn happy to have this guy joining us. Another state captain with senior experience joining the ranks. From everything i've seen and read he is all class.

[Guest José Mourinho]

Purely for the inner nerd in me, is his real name Dimitri, James, Jim or Jimmy or something else?

And while I like "Thumper" as a nickname, somehow I can't get "Kick Ass Toumpas" out of my head.

His name is Dimitri, but the standard greek-to-anglo translation of his name is Jimmy.

Like Vassili becomes Bill, etc.

Jimmy "Thumper" Toumpas for sure.

When was the last time we had a Greek Boy ?

I really cant remember any at MFC.

I like "Jimmy Stomp-Ass"as a name .

"Pethi Mou-Stomp-colos"

[Hannibal 5,814]

Like Yze before him, I think the "Toooooooooooooomp..as" chant will be reverberating around the G before long.

Demons select Toumpas with pick No.4

Says Luke Beveridge had Greek heritage.
