Everyone's favourite, especially on here :p Alan Toovey will play his 150th game for Collingwood on Saturday.

Well done Tooves.

Congrats Toovey! Has made the most of his career through busting his ass. Doesn't always get the credit he deserves due to his lack of flashiness, but has been a stalwart for us in defense and has demolished some of the best forwards going round.

If we could avoid anyone maligning the Possum in this thread that'd be great.
 
Debuted against Richmond as well didn't he. Kicked 3. Doubt we'll see that again. Good luck this week to him. 150 games is a bloody good achievement for anyone.

Collingwood Premiership Player. Always gives 100%.

Yes he has his faults, but I'll tolerate that for someone who busts their ass every single time they play.

The crap he goes on here is disgraceful. :thumbsdown:

Well done Tooves, deserve everything you get. Hope you get to 200. :)
 
I'm sure even his detractors would not be able to question his commitment. We're talking about a Collingwood premiership player reaching a significant career milestone; show some class people!

At his best Tooves is one very effective defender, just ask Darling... :)
 
Well done Tooves! Rookie list to 150 gamer is a fantastic achievement, almost certainly 10x anything any of his detractors around here have achieved anyway. Heres to 50-100 more

Congrats Tooves.

Though I doubt he will get to 200 games

Doesn't matter, he will still get life membership. Something that very few people achieve.

Everyone in the 2010 Premiership side will get Life Memberships

That was my point. We don't win premierships very often and few players reach 200 games. Regardless of what anybody thinks of Toovey his place in Collingwood history is secure.
 
If I remember correctly, think there was debate at the time over whether we should add Scott Camporeale to the list or go down the rookie path - and we ended up with Tooves. Think we nailed that one.
My god. For all of Toovey's shortcomings, I'd still rather have him than to have ever had that pillock play for us. Nailed indeed!
