I hate potting players of any side but.....Jimmy seems to me like a little lap dog , always sniffing around the out side.    I don't think he ever had the confidence to just play the game.   Sort of had an inferiority  complex even at MFC.

I wish him the best but I don't think he can change his personality.

Well that being said he can listen look forward to getting cleaned up by Viney or VB.

    Not fair DIITD, $cullduggery was a lying traitor, Jimmy lost confidence with injury and probably won't make it. Good luck Jimmy.

    More comparing the location of the badges, not the character traits of the person under discussion.

    I imagine one could be implanted rectally the other merely discarded.

    I guess what interests me the most was Hinkley's ability to transform Polec into the player he is now. People labelled him a potato at Brisbane but arrived home to SA and killed it.

    I remember seeing Polec in his first NAB Cup game at Brisbane and knowing he was going to be a star.

    Flick it in a well and make a wish. It's certainly better than the 'other' option ;)

    Jimmy and his family are not very complimentary about MFC, and made particular mention to my contact, of Roosy being "not very approachable" and of their boy not getting enough support (Im paraphrasing here as i cant remember the exact words used). Some other stuff i heard make me very comfortable with the decision to trade him.

    Not much lost i feel.

    I think Ben Kennedy better suits the MFC's current model for player type etc.

     

    I thought we were moving away from the poorly skilled poor decision making VFL midgets :P

    I get the sense the club had made it really clear what Jimmy had to improve to get more game time, and he just simply hadn't done it.

    Win - win. Toumpas struck me as a really decent individual. I wish him well.

    Agree with all. Jimmy hasn't made excuses he came out and said he wasn't competitive enough. I wish him well.

    Bottom line Is we shouldn't have drafted him Number 4 with dodgy hips & Jimmy didn't work hard enough at MFC or Casey

    blaming the club in any way is a cheap shot

    such a waste...

  • Quote

    Good on him for getting another go somewhere else.

    At the end of the day, Jimmy is scared of the contest, and isn't agile/evasive enough to avoid it. As long as the AFL is a tough sport, Jimmy will struggle to succeed. 

    Melbourne have built a team of warriors (Viney, Jones, Brayshaw, VDB, Oliver, Hogan, Kent, McDonald, Gawn, Trac,Trengove, Frost, Harmes, Jetta, to name a few), and Jimmy didn't fit.

    Seems like a nice fella, so hopefully he does okay.

    Again with the 'high standards' at Port.

    Really. I know it's lip service this newclub but I'd say the standards at the Dees would be the same. Maybe little Jimmy just didn't know it. 

    Fmd I'm tired of players blaming anyone but themselves. I don't see Trengove pointing the finger. No, he just took same said finger,extracted it,worked his arse off to get back amongst it.

    It's all in your head Toumpas. Enjoy Adelaide, playing state league. It's all your cut for I feel. About your standard Jimmy

    It's not lip service - it's mandatory upon arrival -  [Insert new arrivals name] said "I have been really impressed with standards set by the group and this is the hardest preseason I have ever participated in (because I really didn't work hard enough at the club that traded me)."

    • 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.
