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.

    2012 Draft

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0S0plDZF5r4

    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 PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
