Title: Alan Toovey
Post by: tony_montana on October 11, 2011, 08:35:24 PM
If he doesnt come to an agreement with collingwood what are peoples thoughts on this bloke?

I'll go first - Im a fan, has elite speed, has no fear and will do a job on the small sneaky players that kill us. Yeah not the greatest skills but played nearly 90games is a deceptively big small defender at 189cms and 89kgs. Is a massive upgrade on a fair few spuds like connors, farmer et al

I think we should be having a serious word in his ear to come over through the PSD.

Wants big money, sure the guy would be in our best 22 and a seriously handy defender.

But do you bring in a mercenary into the club and take a spot away from someone like Morris or Astbury to develop into?

Rance and Grimes + 1 more KP defender? Do we want it to be Toovey on big $?

I'd prefer to go with a Gillies from Geelong than Toovey.

From what I heard on SEN they are after offers of around 350k.

350K a season for two years is what was being bandied about.

Average player made to look good in a great team. Looks like a deer in the headlights. Would be sadly exposed in our defense.

300K is the average salary nowadays.
350 K with the salary cap room we have.
Has Premiership experience and can provide some insight into the Malthouse type of coaching.
He can offer alot both off and on the field.
Scarlett will be exposed by a leading forward in our defence sometimes also the way the ball comes in. Worth a punt if we can get it done.

Did Freo improve massively because Jack Anthony had insights into the Malthouse type of coaching?

Just simply not a good enough player to bother with. Has shown me nothing to indicate he is better than what we have.

Get him if we can, we need the backline loaded up and depth as well.....get him Tiges...

Won't happen but we/I can hope.

Morris Rance Batchelor
Toovey Astbury Newman

Conca, Houli, Lids Post, Thusfield can all rotate through there on occassions depending on opposition. matchups etc.

like the look of that  ;)

Morris and Toovey alternatively offer us options as quick lockdown defenders on tricky smalls and mediums like that ugly ranga at carlton M.Robinson and L.Dunn players that always have a day out against us.

 For the first time it legitimately give us some serious depth and options down back.

Dead right, amazing how much more depth we have by adding two players. The rotations through our backline would be 10 fold to what it is now.

Not really but horses for courses. Anthony was lucky to get a handful of games last year at the Pies in a premiership year and hardly got a game at Freo this year.
Toovey is a serviceable foot soldier. If merely because he was a foot soldier in a premiership team makes him worthless to some so be it. It's not as if he's an Aaron Keating or a Greg Madigan who played a handful of games at the right time of the year and played in a flag b/c of injuries and suspensions to regulars. Toovey has played most games in the last two seasons.
Will add depth and run off half back and may allow us to move Lids into the midfield to cause damage. I say go for it Tiges.

Pity some don't support getting rid of players like Edwards as they for not getting better players such as Toovey.... :banghead :banghead

Toovey over Edwards any day but we will still remain with the poo bowl nearly full.

For the record, Toovey is poo and would be badly exposed in a lesser team.

Toovey is an average footballer who would struggle to even get a game at Richmond IMHO.

We are trading for some Toilet Duck a flush and a brush this season WAT.  The bowl will be empty in no time unless someone at the club starts eating pizzas with hot salami.

Massive sigh............I really think some of you are scared to get into the 8.....or play finals for that matter.

Every player that is up for trade in one way or another by someone on this forum is not good enough.

Thers are no Judds so we need to get the best available out there, including Toovey....we can't keep pretending that re-building will save this club....Deledio, Cotch, Jack will be finished and we will still be re-building....
