Universal Love "Never Toumpas Apart" - Jimmy, I like your hustle, thats why it was so hard to cut you

[Topkent]

Cook has to be worse, Toump atleast played some games and then was trade for a pick that helped us get Tom Bugg
Cook just wasted some training gear

 

[Theo X]

Thanks AS. I agree completely - only Lucas Cook comes close, if not surpasses our friend.
And thanks also for using to his official nomenclature: the Toump

Cook is far and away our worst ever pick, taken rounds, not places before expected. Cried at his first training session didn't he when someone yelled at him? Hard to believe he passed any psychological tests at draft camp. Toump would've been OK if he hadn't lost all his speed post-op imo.

I have fond memories of being shutdown and experiencing great abuse when I expressed outrage that we passed on Jack Darling for Lucas Cook. I have never been more sure of anything than I was that we would take Darling at pick 12, and I'm pretty sure that's the pinpoint moment in my life that my trust issues began.

Remember when one of the Cordner family presented Cook his jumper?

Good times.

Yep, I felt physically ill when I heard Cook's name called out on the radio at 12 with Darling available, having missed out on Lynch, who we wanted, by 1 pick.

I had exactly the same reaction when I heard the Toump get called out instead of Wines. I never had a good feeling about the Toump.

Yeah I felt the same way about Lynch, rated him top 3 in the draft. But I thought we'd at least surely be getting Darling at worst...

At least Lucas Cook never spilled a simple chest mark in a Grand Final for us.

Also, has Port done any high pressure match simulation at training yet? That'll be The Toump's chance to shine.

 

[Cannon82]

Whoa! Where did you come from?

Not sure, my old man told me the abortion didn't take.

 

[Proper Gander]

Very touching. Love old family histories and recollections

Likewise. If I've learned one thing from my parents, it's to never skimp on good quality coat hangers.

Mods this way please.

Cannon is making an early bid for POTY

Everyone is burning up the training track in preseason. Can't use this form as a firm indicator until the season proper starts.

I dunno... check out the remains of Toump's place....

Well sod him and his house. I'm paying crippling rent to a lazy psychopath hiring a 14 year old as agent and contact.

Hot off the presses:

(Charlie) Dixon arrived at Port Adelaide weighing 111kg. But the bearded big man has shed 4kg during his three-month stint at Alberton.

“Charlie and Jimmy Toumpas are both in much better shape than when they arrived, which is a credit to the program that Darren Burgess runs,” Shaun Hart said.

“We think at the moment those guys are really running better and moving better than when they first arrived. They’re in great shape.”

Doubt no longer but believe - believe in the Toump!!!

The age old pot-the-previous-team's-regime. I like it.

Basically: "Wtf were the dees/$un$ doing to these kids? They arrived fat."

And after a couple of months of Mum's home cooking, end of season trips and largely enjoying sitting around and doing nothing. Who'd have thunk it?
