Jimmy Toumpas

My favorite moment of the game was 14:10 left in the 3rd

theres a loose ball at centre half forward and Jimmy T charges in and puts his head over the ball with no fear, takes clean possession and is rewarded with the free kick for high contact

Kicks it to Watts who gets a free then goals.

This moment told me that Jimmy T is going to be a player and that he is far from just an outside receiver some on here perceive him as.

And on a sidenote, anyone writing him off is a complete idiot, the kid had hip surgery last year and is coming off an interrupted preseason. Meaning hes never done a preseason in the AFL, and has played just 7 games.

Get a grip you morons, hes going to be an absolute gun and is a leader too.

Are you the love child of Ben Hur and Rhino Richards? A half brother to Satry?

He has a terrible gait but I am patient.

The thing about kids is that you need them to bring something to the table straight away and he has very good skills. We should have groomed him as a HBF for this year and brought him in after a few rounds to get some easier footy.

 

He will be a gun. Careys first games weren't great.

2nd quarter against the Saints. He was running back under a high ball with no one around him. He went back one handed thinking contact was coming. Squibbed.

I actually think he will be a jet but needs to stop these kinds of acts.

You mean the one where he was running back with the flight and was unable to get back quickly enough because the ball was kicked over his head so only stuck one arm in the air trying to get fingers to it? I don't think he "squibbed" it at all, I think he was trying to get back but the kick was so poor it looked like he dropped under the ball instead of keeping on running backwards.


Dmitri has had 2 hip operations -one on each in june and july last year. That is only a year ago.

A light preseason followed.

How odd that a year after his ops he is now starting to understand the speed if the game.

I had him rated =1 with whitfield as an U18

He was captain of ths SA U18's last year,even though they knew he was injured.

Will be a gun and a future leader.

If someone could logically explain to me why he played round 2 after his round 1 showing that'd be great.

If they could go further and explain why he was then made sub before being dropped for GWS I'd be eternally grateful. He's been poorly handled this year IMHO but the kid will be good - we just need to develop experienced leaders (or get one in) that he can learn the craft form.

I love this forum but talk about armchair experts. FFS!! People commenting on his gait, on him being a squib or not being in and under...

How many of you have played elite football?? Yep, that's what I thought.

 

Reminds me of one G.Lyon, could be just the hairy legs, but reckon its a bit more than that.

Ignore the morons on here.

Dane Swan doesn't have the most pleasing 'gait' either.


Most impressive signs I have seen from him yet - here is hoping

If that was the bar for conversation on here there would be tumbleweeds floating across the screen.

I don't care about his gait - but it looks terrible. I know that Campbell Brown used to run in a similar fashion and Hawthorn got a running expert to change it. He managed to get more speed as a result.

He will be a fine player - will he be the star we need? Only time answers that question.

Another of you knobs with the 'you haven't played football, so shut up' rubbish.

None of us have. FFS. Being an ex-AFL footballer is not a requirement to be able to express opinions on football.

i love the kids kicking skills, he is going to be an asset


It's refreshing to read a positive thread about Toumpas.

He played well on the weekend and continues to improve.

One of Demonlands favorites for all the right reasons, well done Jimmy.

I'd say Jimmy's awkward gait has come about from his two hip operations. He's still no doubt learning how to move with it.

Reckon he has what it takes, and then some.

Reckon he is also coming from a fair way back injury/fitness wise.

Reckon he is a kid with a level head that will fix his so called problems (and I think most of them are from being 10 years old and being expected to lead in a D grade midfield).

He's the least of our problems.

It's not a requirement to comment on here but feck me... You lot that like to pick apart every damn aspect of a 19yo kid in his first half dozen games... Questioning his courage, ability and even his running action astounds me.

If we were in the top 4 would you still be so critical?

It's not a requirement at all. So stop mentioning it.

There are plenty on here who don't know what they're talking about, including in their (at times) abhorrent comments on Toumpas, but that is nothing at all to do with whether or not they have played football before.

I really liked the Toump's game on Sat.

I was working my ass off trying to get a 'TOUMP' call going everytime he kicked it. Bloody members weren't getting on board.

He broke St Kilda's (crappy warranted) zone a few times. Jones was so wrapped to have Toump constantly getting into a good position for him.

Jonesy loves him, you can tell.

Im enjoying reading all the comments as I dont get to see many games only the televised highlights.

Did go to QB and was surprised at Toumps size as on this site he was described as small. I did think he was underutilised and thought this may have been the coach . pleased to see he shown a little more last week and I reckon he will become a very good player when he adjusts to the requirements of this level. As others are saying he is only 5 games into the business I dont expect him to dominate every game just yet.

 

Nothing special today from the Toumps particularly when you compare him against Jackson Macrea who was drafted after Jimmy. He looks the goods when has the ball. His next challenge is to know where to run to get the ball. We look good when he has has the ball in his hands....don't panic he will be a star!!!!

I like that Toumpas is different to most other draftees killing it atm.

Most are inside beasts, which is great, they are competitive guns mostly.

But Toumpas is more of an outside player and I haven't seen him not hit a target.

He will give us run, carry and accurate disposal going inside and outside of 50.

That is a very handy weapon to have.

Started his career being a bit soft, but careers don't just consist of a few games, thankfully.

These kids don't have it easy anyway, there is a lot of pressure on them - without even thinking of nerves, etc.

  • 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.
