I believe he also had both hips operated on around the time he was drafted and that resulted in him losing a bit of speed.

I reckon that's right about Toumpas. It was reported that the injury/surgery also led to a modified gait (IIRC).

    How good would it be to have Another Yze at the club and eventually playing for us, Noah is a good height and if he is anything like Adem he will be a beauty. lets hope he has a great year in the Coates League.

    Re Noah. I think he is a bit of a late developer. He wasn’t focused solely on footy for a while there. 
    The knock on him I heard was about athleticism and hardness. But that was 2 years ago. He may have matured since then. 
    Like all father-son prospects. I want him to come to us and be successful. But also not cost us much in terms of draft considerations.

    If no club wants him then at worst he will be taken in the rookie draft, if his good enough to go in top 40 picks, then go for him

    i don't think the top 40 pick exclusion applies to father-son, only academy

    It’s a good height for the modern midfielder. 
     

    What’s he like athletically? Is he quick? agile? Fit as a horse?

    A touch under 19 hands and about 65 years in horse age.

    I have to share a quote I stumbled across while checking this;

    A horse reaching 20 years of age is considered “old”, but this depends very much on how long the horse has lived.

    Hard to take this with much seriousness as Alex will not talk down a player in his team. 

    Curious if anyone has seen him in the last few weeks to corroborate Alex’s assessment?

    I really want to cash in on a gun F/S prospect. 
     

    Why didn’t Neita or Schwartz have any gun footy playing children. A KPP would be handy right about now.

    Is this because he is playing a different competition?

    Yes he plays football for Caulfield Grammar where to be perfectly honest he is an average player.

    Tigga Johnstone is playing Under 14 football and has been selected for inter league team. Haven’t seen him play myself but apparently goes OK.

    Has played the last couple of CTL games with a lot of the metro players missing for Oakleigh. Looks like he played back on the weekend, numbers don’t jump off the page.

    Last round of APS football was 15th of June so he has been available for Oakleigh Chargers selection since then. APS season resumes on 20th July.

    One can dream. His father had such incredible talent but didn't put the effort in unfortunately.

    Good luck to the young lad

    Immensely talented.

    Still to this day there isn't a Melbourne player I've come across that could absolutely drill a low flat 40m pass on either footy with ease.

    He was laconic as they come but God when he was on he could seriously player.

    If you ever get the chance ask David Neitz and Russell Robertson what they thought of trapper. Their eyes would light up when he had ball in hand.

    Oh, it's almost too much to consider getting another David Schwartz or Johnstone. It would answer a thousand prayers across the years.

    At his pre-injuries prime - even during those difficult post-traumatic days from recoveries - Schwartz was a glorious football talent, achiever, match-winner, commanding respect from anyone who ever watched football with an informed interest. Travis was also a supreme talent with skills and effects unmatched by most top-line players. My mind is suddenly swelled with recollections of some of the never-to-be-repeated things that these great blokes did onfield with the Dees. Just take a look at their highlights reels ... for refreshment.

    Trapper only played 49 games for Brisbane. Bonbeach is a hell of a lot closer to Melbourne than Brisbane.

    Well the afl will have to change the rules then so the lions can get another father son.....

    Trappers 2nd and 3rd quarters in the Semi Finals vs Adelaide in 2002 were something else

    AFL new rule, anyone whose last name starts with YZ can’t go father/son.

    Probably the best individual hour of play by any Melbourne player I've ever seen.

    Farmer’s 9 goal 2nd half against Collingwood must be pretty close

    190 cm - presumably he is still growing too.   But other than his name is he a good or good+ player?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
