Jimmy Toumpas played well yesterday. He's getting the pace of the game with each outing, is creative, clever with his disposals, and has a great tank for a kid his age. The negative absolutism on here

Oh dear, is this completely necessary?

I've had exactly the same hip procedure, it gives you the ability to completely rebuild your core and change your biomechanics so you'll have far more speed and power long term.

The first 12 months of the rehab though are a slow process and should be treated as such, especially with an 18 year old kid playing in a team that's nowhere near finals.

If you thought he looked quick and powerful in his tapes pre-surgery, hold onto your hat, the kid will be significantly better than that in the next year or so.

Toump will be a genuine gun!

Okay - I apologie for this. I am overseas, opened up Demonland, didn't sign out and one of my traveling companions thought they would pose a question but used my details. I am very sorry and happy for the moderator to delete this thread. I just realized now when I turned on my iPad this morning.

BTW I am a huge Jimmy fan and think that in time, he will be a great player for the MFC.

Hmm...you sound suspiciously like Craig Thompson. Except you have excellent taste in football teams.

Has anyone else noticed that Jimmy Toumpas often gets caught with the ball and

lacks pace.

I remember Jones in his first couple of years used to get caught with the ball when he tried to break tackles.

I like tha Jmmy has confidence to have a crack and take them on. He reminds me of D Hawkins (please do not hold me to that).

Jimmy will be a star! (you can hold me to that)

I am bullish in regards to Jimmy. He is tracking nicely and I fully expect him to improve in all areas next year. The mentoring of Roos will prove a huge upside for this man.

Toumpas was top 5 in every club's ratings. Wines was clearly a lower rating than Toumpas in most clubs' ratings.

We will remind you of your poxy comments when Jimmy is trumps.

mmmm.

Played like a first year player tonight. Not knocking the kid, he's been good but lets not pump him up too much. He was well beaten, only 14 touches at 50%. I'm not always a big believer in stats but my feeling watching tonight was he really had no effect on the game.The stats back that up.

I'm not willing to call the decision on this one just yet, but happy for you to have your opinion. I have a feeling that both Wines and Toumpas will be good players, what I can't take is the comparisons with Gysberts and Morton. Toumpas might not be built like a tank but he has far superior skills than the those guys which will set him apart.

Anyway, I guess I must be one of those idiots you are talking about.

I hate to belittle anyone in life, but you are a muppet with as little footy knowledge as Julia gillard. You're yet to raise a valid point, and all you do is disagree with people who's opinion is different to yours. You are either the worst troll going around, or you are so far short of having any sort of credible footy knowledge or understanding of the game.

I hope for your sake you go and watch chad wingard who was taken at number 6 in the 2011 draft and see how many said port should have selected Toby Greene before him after one season, or back in 2007 how many said Adelaide were crazy taking pat dangerfield before brad ebert.

I don't know why I've even pointed this out to you as you have zero footy nous. But good luck to you.

I'm just going to throw it out there...

not having a great first year doesn't mean for one second Toumpas won't be a great player for us,

Wines has had a great year, that's fantastic for him but there have been many players who have great first years and don't get any better

lets wait til they have each played 100 games and judge them.

And meanwhile over on "Ology" the debate Hots up!

From an ology poster!

Toumpas is slower than even Brock McLean because his hips are shot to bits. The club knew about his hip problems before the draft but drafted him anyway. Meanwhile Wines has been tearing his opponents a new one every time he plays. This might be the worst recruiting blunder of them all, which is saying a lot - worse than Watts over Natanui, worse than Trengove over Martin, worse than Cook over Darling. With those blunders, there were excuses. With Toumpas, there is no excuse.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
