Was he pick 12 or 11?

Well i must be the only person that don't mind them.

They are a good laugh and love the dish they give out to spud Frawley. Barrett is very cringeworthy though!

Saw this on SEN.

Melbourne
UPDATED Sep 20:

New Melbourne coach Paul Roos was reportedly spotted having coffee with former Collingwood, Sydney and Melbourne ruckman Darren Jolly last week. Roos could be looking to bring his former charge back to the Demons to add experience to the Dees.

He flagged his intention to put the Demons number two pick and potential priority draft pick on the trading table in the hope of securing a ready-made midfielder.

Inside Football’s Ben Casanelia reported in mid-August that the Dees have reportedly shopped the number two pick for Adelaide midfielder Rory Sloane and Gold Coast young gun David Swallow - http://sen.lu/1d1WNXd

Likelihood Meter

Jolly – 60%
Swallow – 50%

Opened that link and saw a Melbourne post with Kate Upton as profile pic followed by a scathingly arrogant comment directed at another poster Gee, who could that be?

Lol exact same thought

Obvious they rate him highly to upgrade him off the rookie list without a coach and not even a game in the ones.

Wonder what his WAFL form been like?

If you want a laugh head over to the Swans Board on Bigfooty and have a look what there supporters are now saying about Roos LOL

Reading all these hate for Roos and what he is doing for our clubs makes me even more spewin we didn't sign him longer then two years LOL

If we get into his ear and say come to the Dees and he agrees which now puts him into the main draft does that mean other clubs have access to him now??

So that would mean that it would be a hope for the best he last to our pick?

Well reports now coming in that we are into him big time.

I did some research and came up with a couple of links.

Lloyd Perris (St George)

Height: 179 cm

Weight: 74 kg

Position: Midfielder

Player comparison: Kieran Jack

Strengths: Endurance, leadership and footy smarts.

Weaknesses: Injury history, hurt factor with disposal

If Freo win today is anyone giving them a sneaky chance next week?

Hawks were poor defensively and we all knkw how freo can really choke teams up.

Freo by 10

Didnt they learn there lesson last time they put a certain key forward all over our marketing and advertising..

Kid hasn't even played a game, yet we already have to put him on our membership advertisement.

Haha i believe Roos has a complete hatred for Colless! would be a bargain if we could land Perris.

Legal rights my ass!

Geez I hope you're right Dazzler.

This kid has the potential of being the best player of all time

Tell me about it BBP. Would love Swallow in our side. Would be a massive gain for our midfield!

Love Roosy! Screw the haters! It just shows Roos veins maybe arent all red and white now.. LOL

Was told tonight that we have been in contact with Swallow more than once.

Things could heat up in the coming weeks.

Could you imagine if we appointed Jeff Kennett as our president.

I am absolutely confident we will land a midfielder. We will make alot of friends with pick 2 on the table plus if we get a priority pick.

I've heard that Cross is very keen on joining Carlton - has good relationship with Mick Malthouse & sees more chance of playing finals next year - just a matter of if Blues are prepared to make offer.

I dont understand he complained the other night that he wanted more run through the middle yet wants to go after Cross... I just hope he sits down with Roos and sells to him about joining the dees.

His professionlism and training standard would be a massive boost for the club.

I was shocked at Viney and Neelds decision to recruit his son, Toumpas, Byrnes, Pedersen, Rodan, and the Gillenator, and leave Wines in the can.

Probably the worst decision ever, and we have made many, has left the club on the ropes.

I have not seen one frame from Toumpas to make me think otherwise.

Cale Morton at pick 4 would surely be the worst decision consider the amount of gun players we overlooked..

But you cant completely write off Toumpas after his first year and say it was the ''worst decision of all time'' Seeing that would probably be the worst comment of demonland of all time.

Got absolutely nothing to do with the Jurrah thread and defiantly wasn't meant to be personal towards you.

Happy to say that I thought it was directed at me. But yes people gotta be careful with just calling him a star in the making or needs to be our star. I will be happy if he becomes a solid 200 game player for the MFC.

Seven news just said Cross met with Blues today.

Interesting indeed consider there were reports he met with the Blues yesterday and was set to meet with the Dees today?

My guess is that once trade week starts one club will be willing to trade a big name player for pick 2. Someone that has not even had a mention on here.

No need to squeal like a female pig. Threads evolve and I gave you an opinion on Toumpas.

I don't see the "inside mid" you do. He's more a straight running link player who uses the ball well.

Anyway, I'll leave you to your precious thread.

Thanks for clearing up your views on Aish, btw. Your opinion is as informed as mine, i.e useless.

I said he has the ability to play inside even though he is more a pure outside midfielder.

Good do us all a favour and take your precious little James Aish [censored] fest somewhere else.

This is about Jimmy Toumpas the Melbourne Fottball Club play not James Aish a Norwood SANFL player.

For your information I have watched Aish live once.

So as you say your opinion is as informed as mine. But instead of useless il say i.e Absolute dud

I asked you a couple of days ago how many times you'd seen Aish "live". You're yet to respond. Perhaps you can clear it up now.

I have little doubt that Aish will be able to improve his contested footy as he gets stronger, as will Toumpas. But I don't see either as "inside mids".

Toumpas is more a straight ahead player, who distributes the ball really well. He likes to get on the end of a chain of disposals and set up play. He could actually make a very good half-back, where he's played a fair bit of footy as a junior.

I haven't seen enough of Aish and certainly haven't seen him live, so I'm not well equipped to comment, but from what I have seen I believe he has more upside as an all-round mid than Toumpas.

FFS BH what point are you trying to prove in hijacking a thread about Toumpas by bringing in Aish Vs Toumpas comparisons?

This thread is basically about Toumpas showing gradual improvement next year and what a Paul Roos development could do for Toumpas

Go start Aish, Toumpas comparison thread if you want to discuss that. But for now im more interested in what people view Toumpas in 2014.

Cook, Morton, Gysberts, Watts, Tapscott, Scully, Trengove...all were anointed as future superstars.

Can we just wait this time and let him develop without the fanfare.

Yeah and where did I mention he will become a superstar?

all I said is I expect gradual improvement and I rate his leadership skills. And if you took the time read the thread properly I also mentioned that basically the 70 game mark is when we will start to see big strides in Jimmy.

You completely missed the point on this thread..
