Jimmy Toumpas (Coming of age)?

[picket fence 17,166]

Ok been a long time critic and so even though this is one of the worst loses I can remember I must make mention of his effort today!

I thought he was terrific today, won outside and more importantly for me, inside ball and made mostly some good decisions!

I hope he can go on from here because if what he provided today can be continued, then his place in the draft and promise to be lived up to will be vindicated. 1 great game in three years ! Lets see what he offers next week!

And before you start gloating Dazzle man, get stuffed!!

Well done picket fence!

You'll jump off him straight away the moment he has one bad game.

You are way too predictable.

[Pirlo 813]

He had a superb game and has been building to it for a month.

He's not a Watts/Morton who needs to be in form to contribute, because he goes in as hard as anyone.

[Gator 17,342]

He was OK. I'm still shocked at his poor decision making on occasions under pressure.

I expected a game like this as virtually a bare minimum a couple of years ago, so I'm hardly going to go into raptures now.

[Demon Jack 6,909]

He still panics under pressure but what's impressing me with Toumpas is that he's starting to work harder and racking up the footy as a result. That third quarter was nearly as good as any individual performance this year.

So you were expecting a game like this in his first year after his hip operation and interrupted pre season?

OK...

Had a great game as did Watts (in his physicality).

I said in the middle of the week it would be interesting to see how he would go given that most of his games this year were against good opposition.

Really really don't want to see another high draft pick wasted - was much more composed and aggressive today well done!

So did you predict that I would start a post Dazzle ?? Nup?

You are the predictable one!

Mate clearly, you bag all of my posts, then when I actually give some praise to a bloke who I have bagged, you turn it into your own pusillanimous crusade!

You, my friend must have a sad life!

Sad !

26 touches, 8 tackles and 2 goals is a bare minimum?

For a player who was in his first year' a couple of years ago'?

You are a [censored].

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

If he plays like this every week (and he won't, but you know what I mean) then it's huge for the club going forward. We drafted him for his elite footskills and creativity, today we saw it on display. He had been building towards a breakout game but today we finally got it. Well done Jimmy and well done picket fence for giving him his due credit.

Il give you the credit for sure. Well done on copping it on the chin.

Your still a tool

[Harrisonrules 273]

Three out of four games possessions in the twenty. Mid teens the other against port with only two players in low twenties. He runs hard, reads how it's unfolding, always looks for someone and a lovely pass. We need a player like that desperately. Along with viney it is shaping as a good year

[Je Roos Salem 661]

I'm finally seeing the player who we recruited, shame it's taken so long for things to click but he's running around with a lot more confidence. Still has his flaws but looks a lot more eager to amend them now

[Harrisonrules 273]

....and proving better than scully

[Sir Why You Little 37,035]

Had a good game today, let's see if he backs it up against a real team next week

Panicked early but played a cracking 3rd Quarter

[Ted Lasso 19,516]

I think this will mean a lot to jimmy, he will now believe he's an AFL standard player

Covering your rrrse picket with a weak compliment, which is really another one of your pathetic backhanders, to a player who is starting to get a bit of the ball and show form. No one is gloating, but plenty are praising him for his effort today, regardless of where he was taken in the draft or how he's played previously. Not you though, typical.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

told you he was on the up.

Fair enough!!

Wasn't it a third quarter blinder 14 possessions at 100% efficiency? He will be getting a tag at that rate.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Good game by the Toump, let's see him continue on with it.

I love the way he uses tackling to get himself into the game, 8 tackles is a great effort, add two goals and that is a great effort.

Still needs some composure, but the rest of the team doesn't have it so you can't expect him to lead the way with it.

Nup not covering any of my arse! Even though kids on the beach stop and stare "Mummy why isn't that whale wearing a bikini!'?

Just paying due credit for what I said was his best game yet!

Could easily have said nothing but since I bagged him for previous efforts, you do need to acknowledge a bloke when he plays well!

Shhesh damned if I do and clearly damned if I don't!

Typical Demonland!

[Lord Travis 10,730]

He's had a solid month of footy now. He's showed this kind of form before, his game in his first year against Geelong in the wet was an eye opener. Hopefully he can continue to show form like he did today and prove all the critics wrong. Good onya Dimitri!
