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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
