Goes by the name of Dave Tolson...
Tough, reliable defender who's in the mould of a Jared Rivers type. Is good overhead and doesn't shirk away from the rough stuff. Forms a great partnership with another Scotch champion by the nickname of Scarlo.
Expect Tolson to go in the 2nd round of the draft this year, barring exceptional circumstances. As for his partner in crime, he's the next big thing.

I can't wait to see him develop......
I believe i know Scarlo and if he can do work on his fitness and muscle tone he too would be drafted. Does not get beaten in one-on-one contests, has a copy book kicking action and makes bustling runs out of the backline. He can play tall or small and at either end of the ground.
To his mates, he is.....the B-Train.

Wouldn't waste your time talking about a nuffie who won't make it. He's not going to be any judd so dont waste your time talking about a Scotch AFL wannabe.

How do you know they won't make it????
The B-Train and Tols are probably the most underrated pair in the APS. It's rare a side can score freely when these 2 patrol the back half, and the floodgates open when they reside in the forward 50. When the B-Train finally gets quality delively, he will kick 15. MARK MY WORDS!

Havent heard much about da B-Train but what have is all good. he seems to be a very hard player to match up on. one of those very modest players who prefers to play well for his team than indiviualy kicking (note he does have the ability to). His staright line running, and deliverance inside 50 is at its peak, and lays the foundations for manya goals.

Look Trapper, you have hit the nail on the head. It's only a matter of time until the B-Train lets loose and rolls an opposition single handedly. If you ask me, I would think the team facing the B-Train this week is in an enormous amount of trouble...

Depends where the 'Rev plays him. I feel down back that his footy smarts are wasted, he doesn't get the opportunity to out-smart the opponents to maximum humiliation. Down forward, as i've previously mentioned, the B-Train, will beat anyone one out and too much pace on the lead. He can kick a goal from anywhere around the arc, it's only a matter of time before this engima is unleashed and puts in a matchwinning, Gary Ablett Senior like performance.

Davo4030, you're right on the money....
Versatile players in the mould of the B-Train and 'Rivers' are nearly impossible to stop. If they're having a bad day at one end of the ground, they'll switch and turn it on from the opposite. The Gary Ablett Snr comparison is a very good one.
The Rev has a luxury of options at his disposal. It won't be long until these 2 are getting national acclaim at events like the draft camp and the draft itself.

Trapper, I believe Geelong have shown interest in the B-Train. Bomber and the boys are certainly impressed.
Melbourne have shown interest in Tolson...

People, get on the bandwagon and don't get off...
The tandem were at their scintillating best today. 'Rivers' snagged 6, turning on the match on it's head in the 3rd quarter and the B-Train was chugging at his intimdating best, snagging 3 and setting up others.
The opposition didn't have enough players capable of controlling the 2. 'Rivers' game was typified by spectacular mark running against the flight of the ball and kicking another one.
If scouts weren't impressed last week, well they sure were this week.
The crowd was mesmerised by the grace in which these 2 boys performed.
All I can say is get on the train with the B-Train and Rivers. There's still room, although it's getting might full.
