Yes i must watch the "other" version. But i love Big Kev as an actor!

The original was ahead of its time. Much like Twin Peaks. Both came out around the same time too. Its plot twists and narrative arc is amazing for a show that was only 9 episodes.

Brett Anderson reporting that there is a 'very good chance' he is at another club next year.

The man famously picked by Melbourne ahead of Ollie Wines appears to be on the way out of the club after three underwhelming years as a Demon.

Each of their careers could not have started any differently with Wines soaring to elite status at Port Adelaide, while Toumpas managed just 13 games in the last two seasons.

“Jimmy’s name came up last year and has come up again this year,” said SEN draft expert Brett Anderson.

“I think there is a very good chance that he probably plays at another footy club next year.

“He was a pick four and I think there was 17 other clubs that would have taken him ahead of Ollie Wines.

“All the talk of they took the wrong player, hindsight’s a wonderful thing.”

I wonder how many of the 17 would still be thinking he's worth a crack. They have their chance now

I know I'm well and truly in the minority here but if we've been patient with Watts I think we should give Toumpas at least another year. Still think he will end up being a solid player.

We've been patient with Watts...and hes still not there. We're so enamoured we've shopped him and no takers.

This is the reason we should persist also with Toumpas ?

Haven't sold me !!

It's the same with every single other high draft pick of recent years that has turned out to be a failure

They all picked themselves

That is just not true.

Both Gysberts and Cook were first round draft picks that were not expected to go where they eventually went.

Can see a Morton like trade occurring. ToumpAs for pick 65

Sad isnt it. While dont think his value is quite that low, its not going to be pretty.

I honestly believe our drafting hoodoo's are behind us now. We simply can not afford to make such mistakes any longer.

Absolutely. Giving him away for chump change now would be essentially giving up on him, which would run contrary to everything Roos was saying prior to this season.

Toump can still become a decent player. We've seen the talent he has in glimpses. It's just going to take patience. I'll be disappointed if we basically chuck in the towel and give him away for nothing.

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

Whilst I am a genuine pedant, just maybe autocorrect has had some influence. Can do strange things, sometimes.

My opinion is he is on the table, if we can fetch something decent, such as a 2nd rounder, he is traded. If not, and depending how the list looks after trade period, he re-signs.

Seems a pretty reasonable summation

It is sad how any demonlanders have acted as if there were zero other clubs who would have made the same drafting decision, not 17.

But the usual suspects will no doubt come out with "I told you so " or some variant.

Might get Moore and a late pick for him from Port or one of the SA clubs could on-trade something to Brisbane or Gold Coast in our bid to get Redden or Bennell?

Not Sure what the fuss is about Moore skills just average, since being drafted has only played in dribs and drabs?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
