Jimmy Toumpas - traded to Port Adelaide

[LBJ6]

Video of Burgan interviewing Toumpas now up on MFC website.

Edit: Mine stops playing with 3:40 left. Impending rage

I'll just call him 'The Greek'

And of course, he's not even Greek (brilliant show). Also loved the interview with Jimmy, he looked genuinely stoked to come to Melbourne.

Mine stopped playing about then too. Very happy that he is a Demon (so is he).

He looks so happy in a Melbourne jumper really good to see! Bring on 2013!

I changed video to low quality and seemed to work for me. This kid just seems absolutely rapt to be at the club. Love him already.

 

[autocol]

Wow. That's the best reaction I could possibly have imagined for a kid getting drafted to the club! He's absolutely rapt!

I'm sure Mitch will enjoy it when you deliver it laces-out too, Jimmy!

Watching it off this page worked for me.

TOOUUUUUUUUUUUUmpas

Love to hear that some of these players were a bit scared to meet Neeld for the first time.

Thanks mate, you're a legend!

Welcome Jimmy!

Just watched the video on the MFC website. Seems so enthusiastic to be playing for us and just oozes confidence.

 

[Bluelegs]

Google came up with this guy

Dimitri Tsoumpas aka ZOOM-pus.

Also this is another addition to our surplus of "J's"

Man I've missed that since Yze's been gone

 

[ollieemcdowall]

Played juniors with Jimmy for a few years! Great leader with phenomenal commitment and work-rate; and so skillful! Will be a jet - but i'm sure you guys already know that!

 

[Franky_024]

Welcome to the club jimmy

Really rapt to hear this news officially, club looks in good hands

 

[PureFooty]

I'll call him Jimmy Toumpas.

 

[LouisCK]

I'll call him The Toumpanator. Its like a play on words from that movie with Sylvestor Stalone.

 

[PureFooty]

Also, I've been raving on about this kid for the last 9 months (Personally think he would've gone one had he not got injured). I don't rave on much about anyone, nor do I claim to have any brilliant insight. The other 2 players I said would be guaranteed guns prior to them being drafted were Jack Darling, Dylan Shiel (From the age of 11) and Jimmy Toumpas.

 

[Jimi]

I just got home from work and checking his draft video...

How ****ing ecstatic is he that he didn't get picked up by GWS!

Loves being a Demon already...don't know how he'll feel after his first pre season session but his enthusiasm certainly has put a smile on my face.

on ya Jimmy! Welcome to the Dees.

 

[Ando727]

Haha, awesome interview. Most happy player in the draft by a mile. That's what we need - some real passion. Just hope his hip troubles are behind him.

[pjfairbairn]

How disappointed did Wines look.. though I'm sure he will cheer up when he comes home to us in 2 years time!

 

[CTHORANGE]

I must say he looks like a really good mover, has the ability to go from running at a solid speed up to another level, excellent turn of speed.
The fact he is so excited to be joining the club is awesome, appears he will have a lot of positive input to our new culture of the next few years.
We have a few South Aus boys now, and they all seem to be really committed to the team, good signs
