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

    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.

    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...

  • 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"

    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!

    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

    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

      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.
