    What is that going to do?

    He isnt injured, hes just a dud.

    We've lost our [censored]. Pathetic defensive efforts through the middle. We are so loose it's disgusting.

    Jones getting tagged and so we have no midfield. None.

    Pretty certain he is injured mate, having said that he fades in and out of games far too much.

    Trengove is costing us every time he his near the ball if he is injured dont play him . He loses his feet or the ball every time he tries

    Toumpas cannot get near the ball?

    5 goals to 1 this quarter Come on dees Where are the captains?

    Loose players through the midfield soars we aren't getting back when we lose possession.

    Ok I don't care that its his first year, conditions don't suit etc.. but for toumpas to not touch it the WHOLE first half is actually a disgrace. its like we are laying with 17 blokes out there.

    WTF is Toumpas doing??

    He isnt injured.

    He has been [censored] since the start of 2012

    I'm sick of defending Toumpas..

    Cannot begin to describe the liability of Trengove. Cannot get a clear kick, almost certainly a turnover when he has the ball.

    How can a player regress so far. I'm actually distressed about it!

    He was aslo very quick two years ago and all the power is gone, fair chance that's OP but there is no use defending himself, he is our captain, it's his job to adapt and he isn't doing it, might need a spell in the VFL

    Toumpas is clearly struggling with the heat. He'll get subbed off. Let's not forget his efforts last week where he was our best player in tough wet conditions against a champion team. He's a first year player who will be up and down, so let's ease up.

    Our midfield is non-existent. Jones struggling with a tag and getting no support. Viney battling his heart out.
    Flipside Matt Jones unsighted. Grimes letting Rich set up play after play. Toumpas struggling. Sylvia sore ankle.

    He was never quick, ever.

    Trengrove is coughing it up every time he goes near it just too slow and does not deliver to a melbourne player. Fitzy playing well. Move toumpas to the forward line, where he can hopefully do some good.

    I've watched a lot of footy today, and this is so far below an AFL standard game it's embarrassing. Looks like its back to us being the most boring team to watch.

    My only real question is how the hell did the club expect us to be competitive with no midfield at all? We aren't missing anyone from our best midfield. This is it.

  • Quote

    I'm sick of this Toumpas bashing. He's having a shocker, so lets have him hung, drawn, and quartered FFS. He'll get subbed out and should be given a week at Casey. A disgrace? No. The disgrace is that we need him to do the job of a senior player. Someone needs to stand up in the midfield, because with Jones being tagged out (again) we have nothing through he middle except for Viney playing the role of kamikaze.

  • Quote

    Toumpas not having a single possession is as much his coach and teammates' fault as it is his. Geelong's senior players get the young players into the game by giving them cheapies. Melbourne players do the opposite; they see you're having an off night and so they look away from where you are.

    Jack Watts had to deal with it in his first year, and now Jimmy Toumpas' development is being stunted in exactly the same way. It isn't good enough.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
