FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

Featured Replies

Not sure about two years for the Toump. He was practically unsighted v Freo.

I thought it was one of his better games.

 

Sometimes you need to trust the club

Hasn't always worked

But they see something and I trust them

I really hope he succeeds

sometimes they hold off to give the player the hurry up, wake up call... to work harder over the following Pre season, as they are close to the edge. He is getting into his 20's now, & he has to start doing some things to earn his stripes as an AFL player.

..... the ball is in his court next season, but he will have to start showing some 'intent', or he will be gone this time next year.

 

As if we have money to waste!! Well done Dees.. One thing we are actually good at!

Just gives me another reason not to renew membership!

Jolly good show, old chaps! What! Yes jolly good!

Good. You're not needed.

[censored] off then. Don't need pathetic little supporters like you supporting this club.

He would have been delisted if he wasn't pick 4 in the draft.

No he wouldn't have been. He's a 21 year old player on the fringe. History is absolutely chock full of players in this situation being given the benefit of the doubt.

To get delisted at that age, you have to have done pretty much nothing at all.

 

The major reason I didn't think he'd make it was that he's been languishing in the VFL for the second half of the year. I hope he has a good pre season and can string some good footy together next season. We need all the good ball users we can get our hands on.

It takes some players 4 or 5 years for the penny to drop. The Toump must be one of them. Coaches obviously think he will turn out a good player - lets hope they are right!!

Manny I hope you are right, I want to believe it but I am trying to think of a draftee in recent years who has struggled to get a game with us then managed to turn it all around. Nifty Nev did it but he showed something very early I thought then was cruelled by injuries before then getting his body right and being able perform to his ability. Has there been anyone else?


Kinda surprised at those who are so certain that this is a mistake.

I'm happy for him, and think it's a good decision by the club.

Those questioning timing should consider that maybe negotiations have been ongoing, and that the decision may have been made some time ago but not announced of finer details worked out.

I know of definitive decisions about the future of players at another club, that were made 6+ weeks ago, yet have not been announced.

Cale Morton was gone by then and scarily he showed more than Toumpas ever did. That's the scary part. I hold as much hope of him making it as winning powerball this Thursday. Roosy if you are reading this I'm sorry for being negative but he ain't much chop.

Bear in mind that he had a bad concussion in there at one stage.

I'll admit that a small to medium part of the reason I want him to make it is just to spite all the "supporters" who have pilloried him endlessly.

Like x 100

It would be novel to use Toumpas in a sentence without Wines as a starting point

Good. You're not needed.

Yeah well 30 odd thousand that think like me and... guess what ?

No Club!


So it should be.

We are investing heavily hoping, hoping that he turns it around??

On what basis??

Has shown something in one or two games!

Sheeit he aint Menzel after a million knee reco's!

Just Flabbergasting!


I just want these development coaches to show me a clear outcome. Watts looked like it for a bit but has regressed...

Toumpas can be a player but not without a great deal of work.

Let's see what Macca and the rest of coaches can make of him.

This is up their with the Terlich contract extension. When we thought things couldn't get any worse. FMD

Nup one worse than that..........!

Signing Skills to a 3 year deal 3 years ago!

That's the worst.

Under Neeld's reign!

He is crapola. If we were to be honest, subjective and impartial tapscott, strauss, morton, gysberts and blease demonstrated more...

  • 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

    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.
