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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    Jimmy Toumpas needs to be back at Casey and brought on with a view to 2014. Give him a break from the destruction of MFC 1sts right now.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
