Have you seen Jaeger play?

Have you seen Jaeger play?

Yes ive seen him play otherwise i wouldn't comment. Dont get me wrong he will be a star but its somthing about Toumpas that makes me think the kid will be a gun.

He's had 23 effective disposals, 9 clangers and just 7 contested possessions thus far.

You're going VERY early.

Not disagreeing with you, but I'll be surprised if Toumpas turns out to be a better player than O'Meara.

 

[Northworth]

He will need to over come Melbourne's record in player development but if he can manage that he will be a star no doubt. Imagine how he would develop at a club like sydney or geelong

 

[LeverPuller]

Just what we needed, another bloody Melbourne thread.

The joys of a stand alone fixture.

He's been ****ing shit. Shouldn't be playing in the AFL just yet.

If it we're any other side I would agree with you but Melbourne need to get as much AFL experience into their young guys as possible.

 

[Silvagnis]

Needed to go into a place that could develop him well, Sydney or Geelong would do wonders for the kid. Somewhere where he's not forced to be throw in the deep end and where he can bide his time learning and developing.

Patrick Veszpremi, Lewis Johnston and possibly Jed Lamb didn't take off at Sydney.

Kieran Jack, Pyke and Jetta did. Each club has development successes and failures, Sydney undoubtedly has good development. Was just an example anyway, at a club with better development than Melbourne he has a better chance of prospering.

 

[tigs2010]

Its abit like Hill you would think he has been " Melbourned " Hasn't done much for a pick 3 in the 2008 draft lol

Not sure if serious?

 

[footscore]

looks a gun to me.

Best to wait till he hits between 40-60 games before judging the five gamer.

 

[Righteo]

Indictment on the quality of the main board that this abortion of a thread has gone beyond two pages.

I rate Toumpas very highly, but today was the first time he's shown anything at AFL level, previously he's just looked so out of his depth it's not funny.

I still question his selection though, why not pick Jack Viney's best mate?

 

[gutsroy]

Thought he was OK today and did some good things, early days but it showed he looks to be gradually finding his feet at senior level. Certainly looks a good athlete and disposal looks OK, too. Hope he continues to come on.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Toumpas will be a star! Im 100% that Toumpas will be the best player in the AFL by 5 years he may not of had many touches today but he does not miss a target. Everyone may be laughing at the dees atm but they have a big future with this kid.

Only read on for the lulz

 

[worthy]

Would have a great development path if he went into a side with established, bigger bodied guns to shield him while he finds his feet.

Isn't the quickest player but smart with his ball use. Not great body on body but not many 18 year olds are.

Sounds a bit like former Melb high draft pick Brock McLean.

I don't think we've seen enough of him to make fantastic claims like this. Not yet anyway.

Yeah heard a whisper his best mates's old man is still dark..............

 

[xxxWillxxx]

Don't know anything about him but has just about the best name in footy

 

[Greggy]

Got good skills, but haven't seen much to suggest he's anything special yet. Doesn't seem to be one to take the game on.

 

[the_interloper]

Cool name, average footballer.

 

[Big Bryza]

Cool story bro
