Selection Versus Carlton

[Mac 61]

Betts is the least of my worries atm, if Barham gets dropped for Toovey everybody down at Collingwood land has officially gone nuts!

He puts in every week, tries his guts and is one of very few.. They have a midfield including Judd, Gibbs and Murphy.. He can tag one of them out no worries.. I know Cook is also a tagger but Wellingham has been good enough to take his spot and rightfully so is still in the team..

Cox named on the wing.. hopefully plays more up the ground, has pretty bad defensive skills but has potential moving forward.

Who finished 6th place in the stats against Carlton? Yeah Toovey. Do you think that you could possibly squeeze out a nice word about him now? I know it's going to be tough, but you'll be a better man for it.

To all you Toovey knockers out there here is a FACT- in the last two weeks Toovey has done a better job on his opponent than Harry O. on his .

Agreed. But the Toovey haters don't work on facts.

Re: Team for round 8

Geez, i guess Tooves really deserved to hold his spot in the side after keeping Goddard to under 40 possessions...

Toovey was on six different players last week. Did you see the game?

If Toovey is the second best one-on-one defender we have I'll eat my hat. Presti, Harry O, Brown, Maxwell and Goldsack are or should be ahead of him (selected 22 wise if it weren't for Mick's favouritism) and have done bigger jobs with more effect than Toovey. Even Reid will also become a better defender than him.

Seriously, the bloke is as I said, an absolute useless *******, incapable of playing senior AFL football, let alone auskick. He has no weapons, no strongs, no capabilities and no improvement left in him. Definition of a hack.

As you say, time to look to the future because with Toovey is is very bleak.

Also, you want to get as much game time into Dawes, yet you don't want him?

If you want people to take you seriously, then stop using such emotive language and talk to the facts. Toovey was 6th on the stats table for the Carlton game. Seems he didn't do too badly after all. Perhaps he's maturing and actually getting better with practice. Isn't that what any Collingwood supporter would wish for?
