I hate potting players of any side but.....Jimmy seems to me like a little lap dog , always sniffing around the out side.    I don't think he ever had the confidence to just play the game.   Sort of had an inferiority  complex even at MFC.

I wish him the best but I don't think he can change his personality.

Well that being said he can listen look forward to getting cleaned up by Viney or VB.

Jay Clark just reported on triple m that he will sign a new 2 year deal and will be announced this week. Personally i am wrapped that the club will continue to show faith in him. I still see him as a

I genuinely believe this was the smartest and most logical thing for us to do with a player like the Toump. Firstly, we'll be getting rid of 5-6 genuine battlers. Players who literally do not possess

Pleased the club has backed him. I'll admit that a small to medium part of the reason I want him to make it is just to spite all the "supporters" who have pilloried him endlessly.

Same place the Scully badge went??

Not fair DIITD, $cullduggery was a lying traitor, Jimmy lost confidence with injury and probably won't make it. Good luck Jimmy.

More comparing the location of the badges, not the character traits of the person under discussion.

I imagine one could be implanted rectally the other merely discarded.

I guess what interests me the most was Hinkley's ability to transform Polec into the player he is now. People labelled him a potato at Brisbane but arrived home to SA and killed it.

I remember seeing Polec in his first NAB Cup game at Brisbane and knowing he was going to be a star.

Jimmy and his family are not very complimentary about MFC, and made particular mention to my contact, of Roosy being "not very approachable" and of their boy not getting enough support (Im paraphrasing here as i cant remember the exact words used). Some other stuff i heard make me very comfortable with the decision to trade him.

Not much lost i feel.

I think Ben Kennedy better suits the MFC's current model for player type etc.

 

I thought we were moving away from the poorly skilled poor decision making VFL midgets :P

I get the sense the club had made it really clear what Jimmy had to improve to get more game time, and he just simply hadn't done it.

I think Toumpas will become an okay AFL player.

Win - win. Toumpas struck me as a really decent individual. I wish him well.

Agree with all. Jimmy hasn't made excuses he came out and said he wasn't competitive enough. I wish him well.

Good on him for getting another go somewhere else.

At the end of the day, Jimmy is scared of the contest, and isn't agile/evasive enough to avoid it. As long as the AFL is a tough sport, Jimmy will struggle to succeed. 

Melbourne have built a team of warriors (Viney, Jones, Brayshaw, VDB, Oliver, Hogan, Kent, McDonald, Gawn, Trac,Trengove, Frost, Harmes, Jetta, to name a few), and Jimmy didn't fit.

Seems like a nice fella, so hopefully he does okay.

Again with the 'high standards' at Port.

Really. I know it's lip service this newclub but I'd say the standards at the Dees would be the same. Maybe little Jimmy just didn't know it. 

Fmd I'm tired of players blaming anyone but themselves. I don't see Trengove pointing the finger. No, he just took same said finger,extracted it,worked his arse off to get back amongst it.

It's all in your head Toumpas. Enjoy Adelaide, playing state league. It's all your cut for I feel. About your standard Jimmy

It's not lip service - it's mandatory upon arrival -  [Insert new arrivals name] said "I have been really impressed with standards set by the group and this is the hardest preseason I have ever participated in (because I really didn't work hard enough at the club that traded me)."

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
