FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

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.

    Currently not even standing up at Casey throughout the year.

    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?

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
