I disagree I reckon he will be a star. His game against Collingwood in that final was very impressive for an 18 year old. kicked 2 crucial goals and looked like a 150 game player that night. His attack on the ball is Joel Selwood like and I love watching him go about his business. I reckon he will have the same impact as what Scott Thompson has had to his career. Will be an absolute gun. But in saying that I am also a fan of Toump and think he too will be a gun player. I reckon we will see a completely different player next year and more burst and explosiveness from him that he showed in the SANFL. Future leader in the making and has enormous upside and improvement. At the start of this year he was pretty timid but as the year got on I notice he was going in harder for the ball and making some crunching tackles so he will defiantly improve that aspect of his game. Was only a confidence thing.

Hence why I said he should strap himself to Cross and soak up information and good habits because for him to be a good player he needs to learn from guys like Cross who is one of the ultimate professionals.

The reports have been nothing but positive for young Toump! If he plays well this year I can see a cult like following of the mighty Toump! Been reading that he is one of the louder players at training and is definitely leading by example and setting the right standard. I hope he has been strapping himself to Daniel Cross and sucking off as much information as possible!

Saty I cant quote you for some reason but you said one player mentioned it was good to be treated like adults? that's a very interesting comment? can you shed any more light into what that really ment?

Dom Tyson back in full training today too!

For anyone down tomorrlw Dom Tyson is baxk in full training. Would love a good report on him

That photo of Cross is freakish..

Why would he be mad to leave? after the past woeful 7 years you can't blame him. One of Frawleys best mates played footy up my way this year and I know for a fact he was quite disgruntle at the club and the way it was heading during the Neeld era. He regretted signing that 4 year deal back in 2010. The rumours of him asking for a trade to St Kilda at the end of 2012 are 100% true. Was a massive saints supporter growing up and still has a soft spot for them now. But was told he had to honour his contract. Hawthorn, Gold Coast, Saints and Geelong had discussions with his manager this year in attempt to gear him up for next year's Free Agency. I do know aswell Frawley was rapt to have Roos on board and if we improve massively next year I can see him staying for sure. I haven't talked to his mate since footy season as he was only travelling up on weekends to play but next year if we don't improve its Bye Bye Frawley .. We need to pull a port Adelaide and start winning some big games. Clubs are lining up for his service. Chip loves the club but money wont be the factor as he probably knows Melbourne can pay him well and so they should. It will all come down to on field improvement.

LOL Murphy and Boak are NOOOOO chance of coming to this football club. id rather focus on chip then on any other free agents to be honest.

Don't care what player it was that's pretty disgraceful to be saying that out in the public.

Machsy how did Vince Train? we all know he has elite ball use but in terms of pushing himself and intensity? And surely is now time too start inserting some angry pills into big Pencil, the guy is seriously huuuge!

Things I took out of the photos.. Tyson has a good size rig on him! I reckon he will turn into a big bodied midielder like Hodge. Watts is starting to look like a footballer. Good signs. Toumpas and Matt Jones have buked up and both look set for big years. Salem looks really focused. Hope he is training well. Need to put on a little bit of size but im not expecting big things from him next year. Ps he puts Garry Lyon to shame in the most hairiest department! Lucky he waxes his legs. Cross and Vince will add hard matured bodies into our midfield. Good signs too come. Cross looks unbelievably fit! Georgiou has a big frame on him already. Harmes looks like he has a big body on him already? I thought I read he weighed in the 76 kg? by the looks of that he must be already in the 80s, has massive legs! Spencer is a monster! He could seriously kill someone on the footy field with his frame.

Really? Pretty [censored] poor if true.

have Casey recruited anyone of they going to rely on our MFC players to get them to the finals again.

This post shows me your complete lack of understanding of the human body. Your guessing of the top of your head which means your post is complete rubbish.

Hogan to be the next genuine star since Flower? Ohh yep just like Morton, Mclean, Scully, Sylvia and Watts were all going to be superstars since Flower.. Kid hasn't played yet and your going over the top with comment like that. Even though he showed his ability in the VFL we should not be expecting him to explode as some are saying. VFL and AFL are completely different levels in terms of intensity and speed of the game. Surely we cannot stuff up this development.Im a massive Hogan fan and cannot wait to see him play but!

I highly doubt we will see much of Kent next year if he continues to battle a knee injury.

Just on Tyler Roos, wouldnt hurt if the old man if let him train with the boys to help further his development in the up coming TAC season?

Fitzy played half of his matches in the backline at TAC level.. just saying. Its not like he has never played down there as some people are making it out to be.

He is a club great in my eyes. Shows absolute faith and heart to sign a 3 year deal in its worst time in MFC history. Wins two best and fairest after getting tagged week after week. His consistant form is a credit to his dedication and hard work he puts in off field and on field. Jonesy is already a melbourne great.

Can we hire leading teams for demonland.

Played up at Glenrown couple of Ks down the road from me.. Played mostly forward and played off in the granny with a loss. Fits in well down there..

Enjoy Sydney.. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/afl-star-lance-franklin-runs-amok-at-swish-bar/story-fnilxh2p-1226772348489#mm-breached

Hang on is this a thread about Jimmy Toumpas of Contested possessions.. Bit unfair to single him out when majority of our senior players who are suppose to be leading the way aren't exactly getting the contested possession themselves. I can see what this thread is going to turn into..
