I am. It appealed the the blue sky junky in me: that the club thought there was enough to work with to persevere.

Not unhappy with the club cutting its losses either though. He's been disappointing.

Yes. However, it is interesting that we [censored] him off so quickly. Is footy becoming ever more cutthroat? Perform or die!

The wheel will turn full circle and in a couple of seasons time we'll have the other player from that draft back from Port Adelaide and in the red and blue.

Hate to reign on yours but he was drafted 2012.

1 under Neeld

2 under Roos

= 3

Hate to rain on your parade but Al was speaking of concurrent years not consecutive!

when wasn't it...at the elite level.

Taken us fn long enough to act like it eh ?

Good luck Dimitri

Other than that couldnt give a...

He's a Port Player.

Go Dees

I wish him well.

Will be more difficult to crack a run in the seniors for the Power than it has been for the Dee's.

Tom Clurey?

So Jay Clark was not correct.

Theres a shocker.

Leon Cameron was on the radio tonight denying Clarks report (or is that fantasy?) that GWS would give up pick 8 for Essendons 23 and 25.

Another top 5 draftee lost... what a waste. A disappointment. The clean up of the Neeld years continues.

How is this [censored] still allowed to post!?

Give me a chance would you!

He's gone.

I'm relieved Toumpas is gone so I can stop hoping he will become an afl player when I know he never will.

Toumps latest tweet

I am so excited though to start fresh at the @PAFC! A club that is based around hard work. It's a journey I can't wait to begin!

Not so sure about what he means..

Didn't think that tweet through.

He then replied to a moronic Carlton supporter saying it was only in reference to Port and nothing against Melbourne.

Ports inside mids: Boak, Gray, Wines,........... Colquhoun, Moore

Outside mids: Ebert, Polec,....... White.........., Young, Mitchell

Forward mid: S Gray, Monfries, Amon, Ah Chee,

Half back: Hartlett

If Port use Hartlett at half back (or rotate him with Polec) then they probably aren't as deep as some think through the middle. A fantastic top 5 mids that's for sure. The bottom couple of spots in their midfield mix is fairly open with quite a few guys fighting for games and not cementing a spot. I think the Toump might actually get a decent run if he can string together some good SANFL footy.

I don't want him to make us look silly by being a star but I wish him all the best and think if he does make a career for himself it's a good thing not a bad thing. The circumstances weren't looking good for him staying here.

We still need to get rid of Hogan.

Having slept on it i must admit i am bit disappointed we just traded him off for basically nothing. While we are more then happy to hold on to Watts who has given us half ass efforts every game for 7 years, give 2 year deals to Terlich and Jones and yet after 3 years we just trade out a former pick 4 kid who i actually thought this year he was showing glimpses.. Not sure why we didn't just back our development in?

I wish Toump all the best but i have a yuk feeling this could come back and bite us big time..

Toumpas needed a fresh start, and this will likely kick start his career.

I wish him well. We got it wrong at pick 4, now we move on. Good luck to him.

I would have been disappointed to trade him just to trade him but we targeted a kid from the same draft year to play a similar role but who has better characteristics from a footy standpoint, in Ben Kennedy.

I look at it like Kennedy slightly improves the list at the expense of Toumpas and Melksham does the same (and a bit more) with Howe.

Let's see what we can do with ND6, 29, 46, 50, and 64.

Exactly how i read it.

Toumpas couldn't get a game when half the senior 22 was injured.

We have improved the list with picks to come....

It will be interesting to see how Toumpas goes in Port Adelaide. In a better team, might find that he improves a player. Can see him as someone helping Pittard coming off the half back line allowing for hartlett to come into the midfield.

I recall his first game thinking i had never seen a player so out of their depth at senior level. Even for our standards he is an unbelievable bust.

I really wish Toumpas all the best.

I hope he makes it.
