FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,395]

certainly a touch of deja vu eh.

Its also deja vu as to why he hasn't come good. But funnily enough he only had one year under Neeld(and wasn't he injured for most of that?? can't remember....)

We are now seeing young players coming in and impacting games. Yes some take longer to develop but let's not forget he was a gun at junior level and to date has given us nothing to work with.

Send him home.

Some peak early perhaps

[bing181 9,236]

Some peak early perhaps

And some peak later. Perhaps.

[beelzebub 23,376]

And some peak later. Perhaps.

yes...some.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,395]

And some not at all.

[Henrietta Lumbago 331]

It's hard to believe first year players like Stretch and Harmes are getting games ahead of Toumpas ...

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Can you see him standing up in a final series? I doubt it.

Currently not even standing up at Casey throughout the year.

[olisik 4,060]

His done.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

As I stated a few weeks ago, just prior to our final match:

The following are injured, or added to last week's 22

Dawes, Frost, Kent, Lumumba, Pedersen, Petracca, Trengove, Tyson, Vandenberg PLUS White, Harmes, Brayshaw, Kennedy-Harris

That makes a total of 35 'in the mix' at the moment

This means everyone at Casey this week are 'ranked' 36th best at the club, meaning they are the bottom 9 players on the list including rookies. This is where Toumpas is currently at. The others in this unfortunate group are King, Fitzpatrick, Riley, Terlich, Bail, McKenzie, Hunt and Jamar.

I'm neither for or against JT at this stage but can anyone argue with this logic?

[Deestroy All 14,266]

His done.

His done what?

not really

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

His done what?

His done good.

[Members' Wing 1,106]

His done what?

E

His done.

Staggers me that some grown adults can't differentiate between he's and his. I mean, honestly. The mind boggles.

In the middle of the season when he played 8 straight games including a few good ones he was in the 22 and we probably had less than 8 injuries at that stage so he was in the top 30.

His efforts in the VFL in the back end of the year were not great but at the same time he had a couple of concussions and the flu that went around.

I don't see the need to rank players so much. I doubt he'll get delisted like most of the above and I think with a full run at it he'll be too good for VFL and pushing regularly for a senior spot (not that that means much, most of the names above were dominating VFL). Given that Stretch is the only player I'd call a natural wingman on our list I'd say Toumpas would always be close to a game.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Very true. I was listening on radio to that draft and I felt sick when his name was called out at no.12, made even worse because (the good) Tom Lynch who I wanted us to land went at 11.

Only good thing about Prendergast is he's at Carltank now.

jusdster radar prenderghast ??? i sure hope the recycled cardboard money wasn't enabling double agents in any house. I don't believe it, but stranger things have happened in the world of sport.

[Redleg 40,925]

His done good.

Yes Lynden is ok.

You know you're talking about olisik, right?

[jackaub 1,402]

So Boys and Girls Is he still ""set to sign a two year deal""

Members' wing over to you.

Haha

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Can I add to that list?

Yours, your's.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Haha

A sentence containing 'haha' is still a sentence. Therefore, a full stop is required.

This is a full stop: .

Why?
