I'd prefer to try and keep our second rounder and swap young/Moore and a later pick if possible

Surely the discussion on the list management thread is enough?

No, it is a required condition on Port Adelaide's BigFooty board that all rumors of players coming to our club must be discussed for 200 pages in a separate thread and must be filled with endless speculation and posturing.

Then how in the hell would we beat either the Polec thread or Ryder thread.

What I'm most interested in is who'll win the race to first photoshop him into a Port guernsey?

We should trade Brad Ebert for him.

I reckon Port needs a new logo

I always thought we should have been the Pirates

I tried youtube and wikipedia to pretend I knew anything about the guy beforehand but nah, no one would have believed anyway.

So, people - please enlighten me. Would this be a signing for the future? How good is he right now? If his wikipedia page stats are correct, then he hasn't played much in the last couple of years (4 and 9 appearances in 2014 and 2015, respectively).

He looks like every second extra in a shoddy Australian drama.

"Who's this, boss?"

- "Oh that's Jim, the sparky from whatever the next town over from Mt Thomas is called. I finally got approval to upgrade the lighting in here"

*Jim smiles but must not speak, or he'll go up a paygrade and blow the episode budget*

 

[Power Raid]

who is Jimmy?

SA boy who was (controversially) selected ahead of Ollie Wines by Melbourne in 2012. Melbourne in their infinite wisdom decided to go against picking their father-son product Jack Viney's best friend in the same draft and a ready made player for their team which had been in struggle town for years.

Instead, Wines has made a name as one of the best young midfielders in the competition while Toumpas hasn't really set the stage alight at Melbourne. Potential is there.

 

[Spadge]

are we at the stage where we can make dozens of new nicknames for him yet?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Our pick 28 or a pick around that (eg st kilda's pick 23 if we trade that in) is acceptable in a draft that will be even after pick 20.

Many Port supporters wanted Toumpas in the draft that year, with the thought that Wines would have been taken by Melbourne.

We are obviously all stoked with Wines, but to end up with both, would be delicious.

I will need my Jimmy Toumpas poster framed. Perhaps I should start a new thread asking where the best picture framer shop in Adelaide is.

As well as the prospect of a firing Toump and Polec on each wing!

 

[Schulzenfest]

Not really getting the backlash here, I'd say there's enough smoke around the Toumpas to Port rumour for it to be worth a thread.
