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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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..

    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.

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

    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....

  • Quote

    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.

    • 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.

      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.

    • 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.
