The rise of the Toump

Just to avoid an ambiguous reading Binman: Are you betting he'll poll a total of 10 or more votes in his best 2 out of the next 6 seasons (ie. 5 per season) or must he poll 10 or more per season in at least 2 of the next 6 seasons? Big difference.

. The latter. Which means I may not have to wait six years to win. He could poll 10 or more in the next two seasons and I'm a winner!

Binman youll always be a loser !

I love your optimism.

However in 2013 only 34 players polled 10+ votes (under 2 per team & no MFC)

MFC got 16 votes; Jones 6, Watts 3. Of the entire 215 vote getters, we had 6!! Franklin & Judd got 5.

I want you to win this bet Binman but you're setting the bar higher than necessary to make your point! Roost It would have bet on anything & you're making it that you lose unless Toumpas becomes pretty much elite! 6 votes instead of 10 would seem a fairer bet.

Done. If the toump polls 10 or more brownlow votes in 2 of the next six seasons you stop posting on Demonland. If he doesn't i will stop. Best of luck.

no deal. it has to be a rating of 2014.

i want you off demonland before xmas

Sorry have i missed something? You trumpeted that the Toump was weak and in your view would be never be better than somewhere between Cale Morton and a B grader. Fine, everyone's entitled to their opinion. However you upped the ante when someone disagreed and you responded by saying you would bet that you are correct.

I agreed to take the bet. I put up what are reasonable terms and you baulk. All talk. Nothing is more annoying than someone who talks the big talk and won't back it up.

Do you seriously think that one season (his second in the AFL) will satisfactorily answer the question of how good the toump will become? You're either clueless or a troll - i suspect the latter.

Anyway more fool me for engaging in this discussion. I will now put you on ignore ( a select group i must say so congrats).

By the by i suspect the Toump will have a terrific 2014.

Whatever

How's this

If he's ordinary next year you can't post again until he has a good year. I'm happy to factor in his years in the game. Happy now?

 

Nowhere do I suggest he'll come good down the track but you are welcome to continue making up your own reality nuffer

You're pot shotting one of the our great hopes for the future about not being hard at the contest and an appetite for the rough stuff and this coming from a man sitting behind a computer? ..... Irony it's a beautiful thing!


Every club in the competition would be happy to have Toumpas on their list.

He was considered a steal at pick 4. And I expect by this time next year the doubters will start to see why.

Quite simply, he has class.

If I can't have an opinion on a players hardness and appetite for the contest on a football forum what do you want to talk about?

I know, how good all our players are!!

I played football until I was 26. At a reasonable level. I took the odd short step, everyone does. I also went when it was my turn. I dont see Toumpas doing that.

Just asking, you seem to have wavered on your opinion. If you are so strong in your opinion you would have taken up the bet, you backed down. Hold your opinion if you have it and back it up, you may well be right.

Set what you consider to be a reasonable measure on Morton to B grade, 'binman' considered it Brownlow votes over a few years but you might have a different measure. I am interested in how you would measure it. It does have to be over his career though and not just 2014.

Am I betting with you?

Am I betting with you?

No, but I am interested in how you would judge your opinion to be correct over the term of a career.

It did seem a bit premature to judge Toumpas as you have but you may well be correct. I hope not and haven't seen enough to say you are but I have held similar opinions on other players in the past.


I think we'll know if Toumpas measures up

I think we'll know if Toumpas measures up

I think you are right.

I for one am not relying on one single player to become the league champion, and draging the rest of the sorry arse team with them....

Im hopeing that Toumpas becomes a valued member of a champion team....

We don't need heroes.... We need a team that works together and works hard for each other....

Im sick of people pumping up single players, like they are the ones who will save us!... It only puts unreasonable expectation on that player... And when it doesn't work out, we get.... Morton a dud.... watts the dud.... THE WHOLE TEAM ARE DUDS!!! At the moment....

Im sick of heroes..... I want a good team!!!

Pfffffft.

What "Roost It" knows about footy could be written on the back of a postage stamp.

Consistently over the years he's shown as much.

Wouldn't be concerned with his Richmond-style "support" for the club and player.

I played football until I was 26. At a reasonable level. I took the odd short step, everyone does. I also went when it was my turn. I dont see Toumpas doing that.

Year 6 doesn't count. Check out the 2 Bulldogs games, North Melbourne game, Crows game, Geelong game to name a few. Guys, don't bother with this keyboard warrior. He's tough behind the keyboard. I bet your the bloke sitting in the stands closest to the 4n20 outlet. Go support another Club, maybe Collingwood would suit you.


Roost It letting us all know that he reckons he has sweatier b***s than Toumpas.

With a side of telling the rest of us 'he knows how good all our players are'.

A late entry for 'keyboard warrior' post of the year?

I don't agree with Roost and Lord knows he can't abide me, but he's quite within his rights to have an opinion, even if it's unpopular.

Why do people get so offended by views with which they disagree ? Argue why it's poorly conceived, but there's no need to rubbish the individual for having such an opinion.

That has to go down as post of the year, and such a late entry!

Pathetic! But suit yourself.

But suit yourself.

When have I not ?

But you argue your point so well ...

The content of this thread typifies what a pathetic year it has been for Demon supporters. Let's hope 2014 provides some positive results and discussions.

  • 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.
