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.

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.

Or can't you read ?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
