FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

Featured Replies

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

 

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?

Keep him, lock him in the gym till Feb with self motivation audio playing non stop and then we'll have a player.

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.

Just not sure Toumpas has any real trade value.

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...

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.

It a bit like Trash and Treasure

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"

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

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!

needs more than that needs a heart and brain transplant

Every player you pick is a gamble it's a lottery, looking at hawthorns greatest team in the last 3 decades in the sun the other day made me want to spew there numbers come up

Constantly

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"?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
