What are the chances that Toumpas will be given a new contract after this season?

the obvious answer will be how he plays determines his future.

Breakout...he stays

So-so...He'll be traded

    If he consistently plays like he did against the Doggies then I wouldn't want to trade him!

    yep, and if he plays consistently like he did against essendon no one will want him.

    I think everyone accepts that we made the wrong choice. I would say the error for what we needed wasn't Wines but missing McRae who was the same type of player we needed and playing school footy with Viney.

    It doesn't mean Toumpas wont become a good player but time/contract is running out. As Jones mentioned in a recent interview and as shown over the last two game his best is good but the gap between his poor games is woeful.

    Gee McRae and the Bont looked good last night. Along with Wallis and Liber the doggies midfield in two years time is going to be very, very good.

    Put some money on Ollie Wines for the Brownlow this season

    We really stuffed up not taking him.. wasnt that Brary Prendergasts last draft with us?

    No, Todd Viney.

    I would love to know if the rumour of Neeldy overruling Viney has any truth has any truth to it, or we just choose to believe it hoping Viney wasn't silly enough to to do what he did.

    From a Demons selectors perspective ( You know who you are )

    Wines - Toumpas

    Toumpas - Wines

    I know give me a tail and a pin

    Spin me around and around again

    The tail will decide our demon main man

    I need to be dizzy ,totally dizzy

    Then face me in the right direction you [censored]

    Give me a shove a prayer and hope once again

    Its time to show we can play and win this game to

    Now Toumpas - Wines

    Wines - Toumpas

    I knew we where on to something with this recruiting.

    You wait and see all you doubters and naysayers

    The future will be ours and all will see

    We will be vindicated + 1, 2 @ 3 !!!!

    But if we fail the option exists

    To sack another coach again

    To be free of Blame and continue our game

    After all its not about whether we win or lose

    Its just about how rotten we are at this game :lol::lol::lol:

    PS its not meant to rhyme because they couldn't even do that right

    While there were plenty on here calling for us to take Ollie over Jimmy, there can be no doubt that Jimmy was very good in his TAC year as captain of SA and in the seniors at Woodville as well.

    Clearly a few clubs by passed Ollie and most would have taken Jimmy ahead of him including Port. It may have been a blessing if they had pick 4 and we had 5. I am sure they would have taken the local under 18 Captain and we would have probably then taken Ollie. Of course that is spilled milk.

    Without doubt Ollie has improved dramatically, while Jimmy has been ill and injured and suffered a lack of confidence.

    There is still time for Jimmy to find his mojo and go some way towards making the comment of Chris Johnson, the Lions triple premiership player, that "Jimmy could be a future AFL Captain," not seem so absolutely ridiculous.

    Jimmy's kicking was meant to be his great strength. So many of his kicks under match pressure don't hit targets. He takes too long to balance, then leans back and lengthens the ball drop. It results in the ball floating off target or over the target's head. He needs to address this immediately or he is not much good to us.

    Are you a coach? I'm asking seriously, not being factitious as this is high end coaching.

    Not the 'ol 'kick it long' and 'let's do some circle work' that used to dominate my footy :)

    nailed it.

    and i think that's why some of us are arguing he needs to strengthen his contested ball use extensively as he's simply not looking like he's going to make it as an 'outside' footballer at afl level - not quick enough, not smart enough, not skilled enough. unfortunately he's also not anything close to tough enough.

    So, what's left? #60 for him?

    doubt it. morton got us two fat ladies, which we traded to port for the best dancing footballer ever.

    i'm fully expecting toumpas to want a trade back to adelaide at the end of this contract. we'll be lucky if we get jarryd lyons.

    Sorry Couldn't resist!

    Anyone else see that feeble effort to spoil at the 5 minute mark second quarter?

    Maybe an early third round pick!! probably Adelaide might be interested.

    I'm calling it!

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
