He is soft, take the rose coloured glasses off

Really depends on your definition of soft I guess. I've seen him hit contests hard and at the bottom of packs. I've also seen the toughest players the AFL has to offer squib a contest at some point or another.

This includes Hodge, Mitchell, Hayes, Bartel, Selwood, Franklin, D Martin, Ablett, Swan, Watts (hehe), Boyd, Goodes, H Taylor, N Reiwoldt, Chapman, and on and on and on and on....

The only ones I haven't seen anything but 100% commitment to each contest time and time again is J Brown and our own Jack Viney.

I think you need to re-evaluate your definition of the word soft, and I would suggest that 90%+ of AFL players wouldn't fit it.

 

Chad Wingard says hi

Hasn't he improved out of site this year. I followed him closely last year and wasn't all that impressed with his ouput... although he was nursed through his first year and got the green vest many times. If Toumpas can have a follow up year similar to Wingard's then Demonland will be a much happier place next year.

surely you jest..........lol

That's very polite of him. Especially with him being out of state and playing for a different team.

What are you talking about ?

Wingard regularly flies for marks that take extreme courage.

Where did I say he wasnt a good footballer or didnt have the capabilities to be a good footballer? I'm just stating that he is soft

Do you play football?

 

I'm not getting this idea that Toumpas is soft. What absolute rot, particularly if the evidence is dropping his head when going for a mark in the second quarter in their forward 50 (the mark was intercepted and they goaled).

I was at the game and right behind the goals. It was poor play by Toupas but he absolutely did not drop his head or squib the contest. His mistake was the ball was crossed to him and floated a bit and he didn't move towards the ball which allowed the cats player (who he should have sensed was there) to come in and mark. Not great play but not soft.

U can't play AFL. And be soft his not soft, so what if u don't find him at the bottom of the pack, ever watch swan play, he is good one on one but u won't find him at the bottom of packs he will always hang on the outside of packs, but he is not soft jimmy is not soft, and if I said it before, I do not have that opinion. As with morton I think he can turn it around.


Should be good viewing tonight.

This is a different example, when he went back with the flight and his head went into his shoulders like a turtle with no one around him threatening to hit him is my example

Posters like yourself are boring, often your post are your own opinion, and not based on fact. Jimmy could fly back ten times with the fight of the ball, and posters like you will stick to the same line.

Too many people on here are blinded by their own faith. He is soft

half time stats

0 kicks, 0 handballs, 0 marks, 0 tackles


Not good at all

How can he be as good as he was against Geelong and do nothing this week? lets hope for a decent second half

Because he's probably never played in tropical conditions before.

He did an entire pre season up there, he should have some idea, maybe heavy legs from last week?

DL excuses kicking into action

 

This kid should not be playing afl footy.

He should be at Casey working on his game. Same with Kent.

Its a shame our list is so bad that we have no one to play ahead of these kids.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
