[melbournemartin]

I'm only going to only refer to him by his proper name, Dimitri.

 

[Scully2Folau]

I think he's keen to get around the boys!

 

[Darksidepoints]

Welcome Dimitri!

 

[LouisCK]

His real name. They call him Jimmy coz he looks so much like his late Grandfater, which is nice

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Sweet.

 

[cougar000]

I was watching on Fox and when they went to a break you could still hear Demetrio and that talking one said was a good outcome for Melbourne

 

[richskee]

Got the Greek! Toumpas Time!

So stoked we landed this jet and love his enthusiasm in his interview. Clearly wrapped to be apart of the MFC 

James (Jimmy) is the anglo conversion of Dimitri.

[CM Sean]

Welcome aboard Jimmy Toumpas! Very happy with this selection now. Seems very eager to get stuck into it. Can't wait for 2013!
Got the right bloke. Good luck to Wines at the Power though. Least he didn't have to play for the dogs

 

[Demon JP]

It would of been impossible to wipe the huge smile on his face during the foxfooty interview, welcome to the club
Hopefully memberships sky-rocket, he seemed to a huge amount of support

JT #2 just interviewed on SEN - sounded genuinely pumped to be at the Dees!

Sort of..

James/Jimmy is the anglo version of Dimitri (as Darksidepoints has just pointed out).

Also, in Greek culture, the first born son in any family is named after his fathers father - so Jimmy's must be the oldest son, and his grandfather would have been named Dimitri/Jimmy.

His name is in fact Dimitri. Born two years to the day after his grandfather died, Toumpas says that as he began to look and behave so much like his late grandfather, everyone started to call him Jimmy.

Jimmy, Dmitri, Bob, Cale, who cares, we got him!

#3

...and yeah if he wasn't overly keen on us he's a bloody good actor. Couldn't keep the smile off his face. We got another Eagles player and a Norwood player also so they'll help each other settle in.

 

[Marlowe]

I'll just call him 'The Greek'

Couldn't be more thrilled with the selection. From the look of the Greek at the draft, neither could he.

Awesome.

 

[Viney4PM]

I can't wait to see both Toumpas and big Viney in the Red and Blue next year!

finally some excitement, our team is slowly getting into good shape..

would love to see the interview though!

Or not having to go to Blacktown!

 

[LouisCK]

I think its more to do with the fact he knows he won't be playing against Jack Viney. He's already had injury problems, probably a weight off his mind.
