Jimmy Toumpas anyone??


Jimmy Toumpas anyone??

Yeah, I thought he was ordinary. He is learning the game, and learning his own game.

I think he should do so at Casey. He'll be a player, I just think he needs time.

I like Toump but I have NFI what everyone saw in him. Why have so many other players in that draft just instantly clicked into place yet he needs a third year of development at Casey?

I totally understand that for a pick in the 50s or 60s but pick 4?! I can't get my head around it. It's like someone formatted his footy instincts the night he was drafted.

Good - the new recruits and draftess continue to impress... Garlett, Lumumba Vandenberg

Bad - it will take at least another trade/draft period to make us a good team as we still carry a lot of dead wood

Ugly - foot skills and decision making is still horrendous and possibly worse than VFL standard

I totally understand that for a pick in the 50s or 60s but pick 4?!

It's tough on him becuase he didn't decide when he was drafted, but unfortunately for his sake it is how he will be judged becuase the opportunity cost of drafting him with that pick is so great.

Apparently he was carving up the SANFL.

I don't rate that comp at all....

Yeah, at the time of the draft I didn't see the hype. I watched the nationals and didn't see him as top line player.

That being said, I do think he can be an important player for the club, he just has a lot of weaknesses to work on atm.

What a thoroughly uninspiring performance.

Lamumba and a couple of others aside, I think the highlight of my day was having my new scarf handed to me by TDI at the membership tent!

Did Tyson have the worst 27 touch game ever?

The bloke's disposal has been D grade this pre season.

Most of his work was in tight and not that bad.

One thing that makes me cringe though is team mates giving him the ball when he is not on his favoured left, this happens a bit too much.

Jack Grimes had 100% DE tonight by the way if anyones interested. The only problem I have with Jack at the moment is his strength or lack of at the contest, he can get pushed off too easily.

Good:

No injuries

The draftees, especially HL and Garlett

Roos' press conference

Casey play tomorrow

Bad:

Still a long way to go

Matt Jones still can't tackle without giving away an in-the-back.

As Roos' said, too much "me" and not enough "team"

If you take out that kick in howler from the Freo game, he has actually been pretty good. His disposal has not been anywhere near as bad as a lot on here make out.

I wonder how many slow players we can have in the team at one time though.

Is Hogan REALLY that good?? Hnmm dropped sitters last week and today?

So did Trengove, Gibbs and maybe even Tapscott.

And not forgetting Norwood's leading goal kicking premiership player last season!

Because as usual we went the skinny kid with "skills" instead of the competitive beast.

[censored] recruiters will never learn.

 

Good

Watt's goal to shut up the bloke behind me

Jeffy showing a lot of danger up forward

The way McDonald more often than not controlled the backline

Salem's development

Bad

Max Gawn had a quarter to forget

Not having a closer check on Zaha, Goddard and Chappy

Kicks inside 50's - can someone tell me if our forwards aren't leading right or if our kicking into 50 become exponentially more shocking

Ugly

What we are going to cop as supporters.

Toumpas debate - He was a lock as a top 3 pick all year. Stood out at the carnival (until his foot) and was great in the SANFL. He showed much more than Wines or McCrae during that year and bar Whitfield, he was the standout mid. He hasn't come along yet but its only early. There are still a lot of years in his legs, but I wish he had better closing speed and for a good kick - he has some shockers at time. If it is Casey - its Casey this year, but I don't think we should give up on him yet. Worst case, he plays 100 games for us and we get him breeding.

The Good... we wore our proper jumper..

Rest doesn't bear speaking any more

  • 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.
