Jimmy Toumpas - traded to Port Adelaide

[Cannon82]

Has Cale hit 75KG yet? I wonder if he can bench press a bar with weights on it yet.

Would imagine he just leaves the bar in the rack on the bench press and does a set of sitting pull ups.

I've merged the latest JT thread with the original JT thread as the latest incarnation was a bit redundant.

If discussion in this thread could be kept at least semi-respectful and about the player that would be great.

At the same point in their careers Cale Morton was the better player. Give Jimmy a bit more time guys, dont be so harsh.

 

[Jordie_tackles]

I think he has taken steps forward this year, added tackling to his game for a start and is a hard runner, just a matter of putting some games together imo

 

[00Stinger]

I think he has looked a lot better over the last month. I've seen enough of him over that period to think he will be ok.

Are everyone forgetting he has hardly done a pre season due to injuries?

He's 21 mate, should be past needing a preseason to perform #overthehill

Ahhh, the magical January to March period - the only time of the year a player can develop or get fit.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Its amazing what a good pre-season can do:

Better Melbourne FC career, here's the betting market:

Cale Morton $1.80
Dimitri Toumpas $2.20

Morton:
77 games 33 goals
Best first year player 2008
Rising Star Nominee RD 20, 2008

Toumpas:
26 games 6 goals

Morton slight favourite because he has the 'runs on the board' and a couple of individual achievements already hanging up in the pool room.

lol @ players developing past the age of 21 mate, can't happen

Are you referring to some tongue in cheek comment I made days, weeks, whatever ago?

Can we re-sign Lucas Cook?

He was a KP prospect, they take longer to develop than midfielders dont they?

Nah, just listening to the AFL recruiters who have forum accounts here saying he's cooked

There a 'clangers in the D50' market that has Jimmy at the same price. Been very well supported since it opened, $1.05 into $1.01.

Can you chuck a pineapple on Cale $1.22 'scared of shadow' market for me, cheers

$1.92 head to head 'pants s**t with ball in hand' market still open?

 

[Demon 16]

Toumpas has made some good inroads this year.

He is definitely showing signs of improvement.

People forget that Cale started off really well. Then it went downhill.

IIRC he did his shoulder, and when he came back from it he was basically turd.

Basically?

I remember thinking he'd win a brownlow one day......lol.

Fine. Completely.

Edit: Completely and utterly.

 

[Topkent]

Cale started out a ******* shitload better than the toump has, he looked like a future star in his first 2 years

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Let it be a lesson to us all.

Any player that starts out well will eventually be shown up for the poo that he is.

Exhibit B: Jordan Gysberts

Needed a big year and he's had a decent first half.

3rd term against the Saints particularly good.

Brayshaw

Yep, doomed.
