The rise of the Toump

Featured Replies

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.

The only thing roost it has shown consistently over the years is to have the one account unlike yourself.

I think we are starting to see the rise of the Toump. If you look at the picture of him on the Melbourne Website, his frame is already starting to look stronger and has been a stand out at training.

I reckon this year we are going to start to see what the Toump is made of and how come we so confidently took him over Wines.

Absolutely cannot wait for this!

saw plenty to say ,your right

FD,protected his frame last year

got some games under his belt

recovery from a hip complaint

good pre with misson

more abled bodies around him at senoir level

dont have any debates about this issue

All I said was I don't believe he has the mettle to become the star so many of you see. Your reactions are that of an hysterical CWA meeting but at least they can bake.

I don't eat 4n20 pies as chewing on the [censored] of a cooked poorly treated dead animal isn't for me.

I haven't seen nothing in Toumpas that would suggest he'll be a star.

But at the same time he hasn't had a fair run at it either, he shouldn't of been out there last year.

Everyone seems eager to suggest he'll either be a star or a failure, but how about we give the kid a bit of time before we cut him down.

It's a forum for airing our opinions on the MFC

Does the double negative suggest that you have in fact seen something?

I have seen some good things from Toumpas, but none that suggest he'll be a star.

(Maybe if I'd of had the luxury of watching a handful of SANFL games in 2011 I'd have a different view on that.)

But you'd be hard strapped to find a kid who shows star potential - when he shouldn't even be out on the field.

Toumpas had double hip surgery, no pre-season and basically came in without any core/weight work.

I don't think it's a knock on the kid to say he hasn't shown star potential in his first year, given what he went through.

The last time Toumpas got a decent run at it was in 2011 and by all reports he was electric.

So I completely sit on the fence in regards to Jimmy and see no need to rush to cut the kid down.

Unbiased and knowledgeable comment King. All anyone asks for is a fair go. Lets give the kid a fair crack at it and pass judgement thereafter.

People should go back and look at the first few seasons of some of the current AAA players. Short memories.

It takes time, and some take more time than others. Meanwhile, if Toumpas can regularly earn his place in the team for 2014, he'll already be doing more than OK.


fcs, talk about premature expectation

Better to suffer from premature expectations than no expectations at all.

dunno et, 50 years of such takes its toll

i can see the toump becoming this year's whipping boy if he doesn't turn into cinderella overnight

As Jones was when he first started....

Yeah once again, there is too much pressure from one group to be a star and if he isn't within 3 days the knives are out and looking for that back.

Your forgetting the lips and ears. There is nothing wrong with a luke warm 4n20 high fat offal bag at the footy washed down with a watered down low alcohol beverage. It makes the day complete.

Just on Ollie Wines, Jack Viney and his missus spent new years with Ollie and his mates in Echuca. Im hoping Jack was biting Wines ear off in crossing over the border..

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
