FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

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.

I think the kid can play - his problem is he is completely an outside player

If we do trade him I wouldn't be that upset, we need competitors and if he has value I'd say trade away

    I would try get an upgrade on our second rounder. How we tried with Trengove last year. Turn pick 25 into pick 18 or something

    Just not sure Toumpas has any real trade value.

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

    pedantic contrarian

    Cale Morton, many had him top 3, others not even top 10. TGR was loud before draft on how a team from out West wouldn't have touched him.

    So high pick now is only a top 5...

    Ed. are you related to Stuie?

    That ain't gonna do his inability to hit a target by hand or foot any favours...

    Morton showed far, far more than Toumpas in his first three years.

    We've dangled him as trade bait for two years in a row and got nothing cos he's worth nothing.

    A bigger bust than Morton or Gysberts, and only just ahead of Cook and Molan.

    I am not sure either, nor is anyone posting here, really.

    Only time will tell.

    How do you know this?

    I wouldn't just get rid of this kid just to get a space on the list. There is plenty of those. I think they will have erred if they do a 'Morton' in this instance and just trade for a low value pick...

  • Quote

    Those that suggest Toumoas has no or little trade value then must ask why ?

    Those that say he is potential unrealised must accept another club might think this also.

    The MFC is in all likelihood fielding any interest.

    I would be too.

    And other clubs are looking for value - I would prefer not to give it to them.

    Oh TGR said that did he, I'm sorry my mistake, that changes everything, you're right every player we picked was an outright gamble

    don't talk to me

    At this point it is yes...

    After he dropped that sitter in Round 1 his value plummeted imo

    Cards were marked "Fragile"

  • Quote

    Straight swap for Andrew Moore? Both are actually fairly similar and may just need to head back to their state of origin.

  • Quote

    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?

    If we were getting Moore for Toumpas, I'd be keeping Toumpas. The perfect outcome is packaging Toumpas with a pick or another player for Bennell or Prestia or someone like Hartlett.

    Never claimed every player was an outright gamble, just that your hyperbole is BS

    Hartlett has just been resigned! He isn't going anywhere!

    The Hawks stuffed up a lot of high picks in the 2000's though. It's their later picks that have helped them- Bruest, Smith, Puopolo, Suckling were all mid to late picks.

    I think we are on the right track in that area- Stretch, VandenBerg, Harmes, O Mac, Nel-Bullen have all shown promise as late picks.

    We just need to make sure we nail our first round picks from here on.

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

    Curse of the "Pick 4"?

    • 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.
