    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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    at least 17. the only one who maybe, probably wouldn't have picked him was gws.

    and that's cos their preference was to always draft victorians other sa, wa boys.

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

    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 !!

    Just threw up in my mouth a little.

    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

    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?

    That is just not true.

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

    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.

  • Quote

    Nearly everyone accepts he was rated a top 3 draft pick, let alone pick 4, so it's just one of those things.

    I'd get rid of him now while he might have some value.

    Keep turning the list over.

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

    they were pick 11 and 12 that's obviously not the same as the top 5 is it

    pedantic contrarian

    • 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.
