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.

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

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

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
