Alan Toovey

What's the latest gossip on the kid?

I heard he has a foot injury, is it serious?

I don't think its too serious. Last I spoke to him he said he should be right around the NAB Cup, and certainly the H&A season. Was doing handballing, walking laps and short kicking last I saw him at training.

Will we expect to see him get promoted during the season. I have a fair indication that O'Brien and Cox are first in line. Nicholls is 67kg, seems too small for AFL Football, while this injury sets back Toovey you would think.

 

[Johnson#26]

Depending on injury to a player on the senior list, I suppose. And it would be, you'd assume, a like for like swap (ie - defender for defender).

So if a key defender was down, O'Brien would step up (ahead of Tooves - and the other two).

A midfielder would call for Nicholls, while Cox would step up to the plate if a forward went down.

Nicholls seems very skinny, considering his weight...not a very good thing at Senior Level IMO.

nicholls is small but I have been told he has an f load of talent.... may take some time though...great rookie list type.
