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....

    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

      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.
