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.

    I check the Oakleigh teams and haven't seen him named at all?

    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?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
