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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
