2015 Player Review - # 5 Jimmy Toumpas

Featured Replies

Hope it's true.

Because he'll get a game there.

Get it done Dees.

But who or what will we get in return? Can't think of a fringe player at Port who would be best 22 at Melbourne. And no, we won't get Hartlett.

 

After all the pages on DL devoted to 'we should have taken Wines over Toumpas' and Port end up with both of them...

...ha ha...the ultimate irony!!

Only at Melbourne!

 

Toumpas for Butcher?

I'd rather give Toumpas a bit more time. With Butcher you know what your getting, baked potato.

Butcher is a spud!

Butcher can take a great mark, but must be bolted down inside the goal square otherwise his kicking can go anywhere but through the sticks...

You're being generous to Butcher. Bolt him down to the goal line, and even then he's 50/50.

Butcher by name...and butcher by... :rolleyes:

 

Not sure about Butcher, but Aaron Young and Andrew Moore have been looking to move back to Vic. O'Shea's one that could be a good fit too.

Not sure, I doubt Port would give us their second round pick.

I keep reading that Toumpas should be given more time or he's worth more to us than we will receive back in any trade that takes place.

We got McCartney to the club for a reason. It would seem Roos has had doubts on Toumpas since taking over and made him McCartneys project for the year. Other clubs aren't stupid, we've got a well respected coaching panel and we're throwing out a pick 3 after two years.

We got it wrong, we take whatever we can get and move on, we've all seen the results of what clinging on gets us.

That is the way it looks from the outside i agree...

Aaron Young in a heartbeat!

clearly has talent, but doesn't look like an afl level player.

panics with the ball in possession which leads to making a litany of errors, lacks defensive intensity, looks to have zero pace whatsoever, and looks like a massive fail as a top pick, which is particularly galling as the immediate three players selected after him look set to go on to be genuine stars.

Agree. Another wasted pick. MFC has been expert in picking the wrong ones for at least 10 years. Hopefully this has now changed.

I can't get behind HS's paywall but this is the intro: 'MELBOURNE’S wretched run with top draft picks is set to continue, with Jimmy Toumpas being chased by a trade-hungry Port Adelaide'.

Power have shown they are fair traders and play the trade game with goodwill so if Power are doing the chasing we may get a good value trade.


Some players need continuity, he has had none. Another fail by the MFC.

If he is used to catch a bigger fish then so be it. Not sure Port have draft picks to offer with Dixon going there.

Don't trade for another Michie, Newton, Lumumba, Riley. Better to get another Vandenberg from somewhere I reckon.

Ok they can have Jimmy...and Jackie..

we'll take Hartlett :rolleyes:

Is anyone able to get through that stupid HS block for the article 'Power move for Demon wingman'?

Would mostly be speculation, but a good read none-the-less

MELBOURNE is set to part ways with another top draft pick, with young wingman Jimmy Toumpas being chased by Port Adelaide

The Power have made inquiries about securing the man taken by the Demons with the No. 4 pick three years ago.

Toumpas, who is from South Australia, has averaged 13 possessions in his 27 AFL games, coming off major hip surgery in 2012.

A former star at under-18 level, Toumpas was hopeful of re-signing a two-year deal at Melbourne late in the season but is now expected to make the move home to Adelaide in next months trade period in a bid to kickstart his flagging career.

Port is also set to secure Gold Coast power forward Charlie Dixon in exchange for a first and possibly second-round draft pick to the Suns.

Port's move on Dixon and Toumpas is part of a bold trade ploy designed to help catapult Ken Hinkley's men back into the top four after missing finals this year.

Melbourne may only receive a second-round draft pick in return for Toumpas, continuing the clubs wretched run of draft busts.

But Port could also yet lose utility Aaron Young to St Kilda, in what could form part of a three-way deal involving Toumpas and the Dees.

Young, 22, is contracted at Port next season but is open to a move. St Kilda coach Alan Richardson is believed to have a high opinion of Young, dating back to his time at Alberton as senior assistant coach to Hinkley.

But Young has often been used as the sub and is eager for more senior opportunities. He has averaged 10 possessions in 42 games over the past four seasons.

Port has targeted Toumpas to help add to its outside midfield stocks, after reviving the career of ex-Brisbane Lion Jared Polec (a No. 5 choice) in similar fashion two years ago.

The lack of outside run was a key reason for Ports surprise demise this season when wingmen Polec and Matthew White were sidelined with injuries.

Demon high-flyer Jeremy Howe remains unsigned and could be headed to Gold Coast or Fremantle if the club does not pay him $450,000-$500,000 a season.

( thanks HS..kinda :unsure: )

I wouldn't be surprised if Port loiters around the top 4 next year. But it will have nothing to do with Toumpas. They are already a very talented side, one of the few that can trouble Hawthorn.

Take the pick.


For me its about irony.. Wines AND Toumpas end up together...why couldnt we have had........... :unsure:

So...if a 3 way then we'd presumably get the Aints 2nd rounder.

Well i suppose its a bit of spending money at the circus.

Probably a win all round.

( thanks HS..kinda :unsure: )

hope this doesn't come back to bite us...

Thanks for posting, is it just me or if their wall hard to get around at the moment?

Theyve made it harder to get past definitely.

I dont think it will bite us. We simply need better value out of someone than Jimmy currently presents

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
