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.

What is on the video? When I clicked on the link it said that it is not available?

You might well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

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.

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.

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.

E

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.

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?

That is just not true.

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

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

pedantic contrarian

    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.

  • 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.
