The consolidated Toooooves thread

[Deja Vu]

Why should Toovey get market rates when much better players than him have accepted much less?

I understand he probably feels that his career is limited, and he will only have a short time in the game, compartively speaking, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing.

He was the ulitmate role player for us and you need guys like that but Id rather lose him than a key position player and/or gun midfielder. If losing Tooves is the price we must pay to keep Dawes, Pendles, Cloke etc than that's what we'll have to pay.

Always a premiership player.

How quickly some people turn on a player.
Assuming this isn't some media beatup or manager strategy how come Toovey was a legend last week and a cnut this week?

Still helped win us the 2010 GF and his ability and skills havent changed since last week. All thats changed is an article in a newspaper and that caused some posters opinion of Toovey as a player and a person to do a 180 turn.

Another Des Headland. Looked great in a great team but would be a spud in a crap team. Let him find out the hard way

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

If he does leave, hope he plays every game like the '11 gf, which was pretty atrocious IMHO. Who will be the next cult figure? or is it already fasolo?

The thing that annoys me with Tooves, is he can play a blinder then an absolute spud of the game the next week.

I don't think he is the best player in the world, but he can do some brilliant things at times.

If only he could do it more consistently.

If Tooves does leave, hopefully the Sack can get some more game time. To be brutally honest, if I had to lose one, it would be Tooves.

I guess at the end of the day, Tooves manager is doing what he is employeed to do. His manager just seems to be going about things quite weirdly... ala Travis Cloke last year (or was it 2009?).

Looks like he's gone..
big loss IMO.

[BBHS]

He is a big loss but goldsack comes straight in an we don't lose to much

Any quotes from Toovey? Or just his idiot manager?

[GreekLunatic]

I bet Tooves stays. The hearld sun will be wrong again

[magpieazza]

So 300k was not good enough and he is flying the coup for 50k? Is this all there is to it?
I hope he finds a good home but at the end of the day we know Daisey took a cut many times more than that.
Anyway, he was an excellent competitor, good team player,improved his disposal and played his role to the T.He is a premiership player, versatile and quick. I would think a late first round or early second round pick is his worth.
If we get a third round pick I will be ropable.

I would be very, very, very disappointed if Toovey left. I think it would hurt more than losing the grand final.
