It's a Toumpas thread.

Please start a Howe, Sylvia, Davey, Grimes and Trengove thread and I'll comment.

He is (another) wasted pick. Face it.

Jumbo yoo are so right!

If I did start a thread, I'd certainly not be hoping it's so that you can post in it.

Toumpas is not a wasted pick. If we'd picked Wines we'd be 0% better, and you'd be whinging about Wines. Toumpas isn't close to being one of our problems right now.

Face it.

Cool.

How about this?

You stop replying to me, and I'll return the favour.

See ya :)

So there is a 25 page thread on a first year player in the most crapola side I have seen.

Do you really think this kid is our biggest problem?

Now I'm not a smart man but maybe we should be looking elsewhere in identifying the real problems in this chronically underperforming side that each year serves up the same dribble

A wasted pick, are you serious?

he has played what 10 games? i would suggest there are a few players who have taken more than 10 games to find their feet.

People having a go at a 19 year-old first-year player are missing the bigger picture. In fact, arguably, the entire picture.

Our club is rotten. The culture is putrid. We can't develop players and are mediocre to the core.

None of this is Toumpas' fault - unfortunately it is now his problem.

Hey Mate doesnt seem to effect Jones does it you apologist along with half the idiots on this forum

SO why select him if you know that

Firstly, I didn't select him.

Second, the club selected him because he was the best available. Early picks must always be best available. If we got pick 1 this year and did not trade it, they'd be mad to pick a mid above Boyd, even though we need mids. That does not negate the fact that we must have mature quality midfielders to lead the way for Toumpas, Viney and the other young mids. We've been crappy at developing mids in the last few years, so he question I ask is, do we trade for that and who?

I don't think anyone is blaming Toumpas.

I blame the MFC as he was the wrong kid to draft.

You draft a Toumpas into a more experienced side. The guy we didn't draft would have suited our bare bones midfield better. How much is debatable.

Good spelling peanut. Almost as crap as your point.

Hey Sambo what about the point? You think Toumpas was an inspired selection Watch the game before you comment you obviously were either asleep or you didnt watch

It would have been Wines.

Best avaiable means nothing if he cant play

perfect understanding

Who would have struggled to have an impact whilst having no support, no fitness, no confidence, no enthusiasm, no leaders to look up to, two coaches in one year, neither any good.

Then, you'd have whinged about taking a slow, stocky, unskilled midfielder instead of taking someone who can kick.

Either way, we'd be right where we are now.

And you'd still be a fool.

This is your summation of Wines?

Wow, you'd better whisper that because you're showing yourself up as the village idiot you are.

Note to self: JR, you will only engage in talking footy. No more personal comments.

No, what I'm saying (this is probably too much for you) is that if Wines was here, he'd be way, way worse than he is at Port right now. He'd be far off the pace he's showing now, and the result would be that people like you who think that our first year players are a problem would be having a go at him.

Cheap one liner jackaub.

I truly doubt Wines would be having any more success with us now. Port have a midfield that can support him.

In the long run Toumpas will be a better player for us than Wines would have been. If we can get a couple of good senior mids like Sewell and Swan we can fast track his development. Toumpas can play.

It's not possible to judge after a handful of games. Many on here would have culled N Jones and Frawley after their first couple of years.

The problem is not toumpas as we all know it's this cancer riddled club he is gifted games he should not be getting would he be playing at Sydney? If I had a young draftee coming through I'd be pretty disappointed if he were selected to MFC terrible place to

Doesn't really make a difference?

If you're the one that is using age as an excuse then of course it makes a difference to the point YOU'RE making.

It's YOUR point, not mine. If you use age to make YOUR point then get it right. Then YOU'RE not corrected by people like me who are making NO point other than correcting YOU.

Posted

are you suggesting age isnt an excuse, how would you go been thrown in the deep end at his age? give him more than a handful of games to prove himself

I did no more than correct your incorrect assertion.

Agree. Great post.

You can't blame Jimmy Toumpas for not being Oliver Wines.

At least he puts in and seems to have the right attitude, unlike Morton or even Watts.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
