[TradeDraft]

That is Great.

Was missed last season with the Shut Down Jobs he has done

 

[Rusty22]

I thought he would be back maybe mid year, but to hear he will be doing full training, this is fantastic.

 

[Bay Pie]

Would have had is knee reco late April, early May so at least 6 months from operation to pre-season training.

Great to have you back Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvveeessssss.!

 

[Copeland]

What the hell, great news.

People should temper their expectations for him in 2014, likely to have a quiet year after a knee reco. typically referred to as a 2 year injury by most in the sport

No way, best season yet coming for Toovey

 

[Vass]

this is great. I was worried he was not going to have a full preseason. He is one of my favorite players, cant wait to see him in action again and to watch him own everyone he is up against.

2V

So happy

THE POSSUM RETURNS.

 

[Shellz]

Awkward as this is old news.

He tweeted me saying this when I asked how he's recovery was going in mid September. Nothing like the herald to report news weeks later!!

Looking forward to him returning regardless

 

[Swooop]

Good news on both the Toooove and Fasolo - like an extra two recruits in a way.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Fantastic to hear that Alan will be fit and raring to go for the 2014 season as fully-fit Alan just makes our defence look that little more stronger and solid. I think some fans underestimated his loss big time in 2013. He's a quality player and one I'm looking forward to seeing back in the side next year.

Fasolo can be anything in my view, but he needs to work on his defensive game a little more and become more team-oriented in his game, but I don't want him to lose that air of arrogance that he has within him either.

 

[Temploar]

Super quick recovery from the Possum! can't wait to see him out there in 2014.

Imagine this.
Scharenberg intercepts from half back, short pass to the running Toovey who kicks LOOOOOOOOONG to Bontempelli who picks it up on the wing and drills it to Fasolo 40 out, GOAL!

This is true, but less so these days than it used to be. Players are getting back to their best noticeably faster post ACL surgery than they were even 5 years ago.

[Temploar]

That works too!

 

[HappyRed]

He is plainly just one of my favorite players, we missed him terribly last year. He's a clever footballer who i hope comes back with a bang!

 

[Obese Arachnid]

 

[Jelly Bean]

No way, best season yet coming for Toovey

Certainly most important to be honest. Needs to step up in the absence of Shaw / O'Brien / Maxwell (possibly) in defence. He will be the most experienced player in our backline. Will play as important a role as anybody in our back six next year.

Would prefer it if Toovey didn't kick the ball.... If we are imagining a scenario, can't it just involve Toovey spoiling or tacking? He is one of our most effective players up until the point where he takes possession of the ball...

 

[cleomenes]

Toovey is a better kick than many give him credit for. The turnover kicks he has often produced have usually been when he was under pressure having just taken on opponents and not quite broken clear. I am happy to see him continue with his method.

 

[Jelly Bean]

It has improved, but is still among the worst in our team.

Go back to the GF replay - his first 5 disposals all ended up in direct turnovers... Including one where was was streaming up a wing closer to the centre square than the bounday line, and he still somewho managed to kick it out on the full.

 

[MyManLynch]

Possum just out of rehab.

Welcome back Poss
