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.

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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
