FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

Featured Replies

Toumpas is clearly trade bait which is why we haven't signed him. The MFC have stayed out of the media and have been very quiet with their plans for trade week. If we can't find a home for him he will be given a one year deal.

I just want our list to get better, reality is toumpas staying or going makes little to no difference next year.

 

Because he holds all the cards.

Or is it another case of nobody wants him.

1 years under Neeld.

2 years under Roos

1 year under Stone

1 year under Goodwin

1 year under McCartney

Righto, he'll let us know when he's ready.

Clubs aren't stupid, they look at who he has had at his disposal, and there's some pretty handy names there and nothing....

Hate to reign on your parade dingus, but the Toump hasnt been in our list for 6 years. I blame Gary Lyon for talking up the Toump during the preseason.

Hate to reign on your parade rat, but Al is correct.

2013 was Mark Neeld (ok so less than a year), 2014/2015 makes it 2 under Roos, Stone was a part of the coaching group for 2014, and both Goodwin and McCartney signed on at the end of last year.

Good point.

Legs are fairly unimportant...

didn't say that

We all know how important the ole leg is

But if the hips are damaged they won't do a lot.


I watched the Toump pretty closely during pre season and he was on fire, he's a totally different player when the games start, if a team can get his head right, he'll produce form like in the Saints game consistently and suddenly pick 4 for the kid doesn't look so bad.

Why would he do that? You don't just lose that talent. Clear top 5 pick.

Toumpus isn't a Brendon Goddard, or a Reivoldt.. Shouldnt take 7 years to be afl standard/a decent player..

I'd be happy to let him walk.. He's not fast, he's not skilled under pressure, he doesn't play tall..

He's no good.

I disagree.

I was there when all were raving about his 4 goal preseason game at Gosch's Paddock and I was underwhelmed. And I said as much on a thread that would be floating around. He was still hopeless in contests.

That was back at the start of 2014.. His training standards and intensity went up significantly last summer. Just somehow needs to translate that into games now which we saw glimpse of this year.

Hate to reign on yours but he was drafted 2012.

1 under Neeld

2 under Roos

= 3

The years fly.

But yeah, nah. He's hopeless.


Anyone with any info on a straight swap Toumpas for Matt Crouch?

Rumours in The Other Place, go home factor etc. etc.

That would be good. At least Crouch can find the football.

Ummm... Brendan Goddard isn't a Brendan Goddard... His first 3-4 years were ordinary, and he was not unlike Watts in terms on intensity and attack at the ball. Still not a fan of his... Shite body language as a player !

Unstable view in my opinion he is not right to play at the required level and it shows immediatley he is asked to perform

I dont agree Toump didnt have worrying signs even in the saints game - although he did relax a lottle and we got to see some if that disposal in the past he'd panic and avoid, the defensive mindset and effort was still missing.

He doesnt need another intense preseason as much as he needs to believe he is an afl player. A change will help.

  • 3 weeks later...

Has he signed the contract yet?

Jay Clark on the money again :rolleyes:

Jay Clark just reported on triple m that he will sign a new 2 year deal and will be announced this week.

Personally i am wrapped that the club will continue to show faith in him. I still see him as an important member for our future going forward. I know for a fact Goodwin is a big wrap for the kid and hopefully he will be able to turn him into the player we all hope to be.

I'm not one of the 44 who liked this :)

 

Jimmy deserves to be seen out with dignity and our good wishes.

He wore the red and blue with pride and he gave his best every time he wore it.

He hasn't met some people's standards and definitely not his own.

But I hope he goes on to have a fabulous career at Port.

Thanks Jimmy, always enjoyed watching you play.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
