I thought he was brilliant tonight! He set up at least 3 goals through his desperation at the ball...... There was one contest where he got knocked to the ground he bounced back up attacked the ball and shot off the handball and resulted in a goal in the 3rd quarter!
 
He played a very good game!

Made a few shocking kicking errors but overall he did his job. :thumbsu:
 
I have not seen the full game yet, but what I did see he played well. True a few clangers, but he was not on his own there.

I'm really sorry to disagree with the theme of this thread but he was horrible last night. You may need to remind me of the three goals he set up because i cant remember them. From the game i watched he cost us at least three goals with his shoddy disposal by hand or foot and he needed to make up for his poor disposal with as you put it "desperation at the ball".

He was terrible. I don't mind Toovey as you know you get 100% but he made crutial errors, turned the ball over and missed targets - especially in teh last quarter. At his best he is servicable at his worst he is a severe liability to the team.
 
OP are you drunk?

i was at the game and thought he was shocking at best, the guy was terrible with the ball and if he set up a goal he cost us a few in return so please watch the reply OP because by the sound of things you either watched his best moments on Youtube or you didnt watch the game
 
yeah i disagree , goldy would be nearly pushing for his spot if he doesnt lift his form in the next couple of weeks

was good late in the game , but at stages early he was terrible
 
If we make the GF skill errors under pressure will cost us. Turnovers comming out of teh backline and missed shots on goal have killed us against the better sides. I am just not convinced about Toovey. He stays in until Goldsack forces him out though.
 
yeah I'm definitely with the later crowd of this thread.. Beginning to think that it's not only the club that overrates it's players but the supporters too..!
 
22 possessions, so-so efficiency, beat 3 opponents according to 'The Age', along with praise for his 'big heart' and would earn a pat on the back from Malthouse. Also listed in the best players. Important in the last quarter?
 
Does good work, and is unfairly hated upon by supporters which is just disgraceful to see.

Terrible.. are you serious?
He had 22 possessions and his tackling is fantastic. Nearly the best for COLLINGWOOD!! People seem to notice his errors so much more than all the other players! He kicked one out of bounds on the full and that was bad, but if you noticed that kick at the end was because he had just been tripped and his leg was hurt.. He played nearly 100% game time and was tired at the end and his kick was a bit lazy.. He bloody runs all day long!!
He did set up 3 great goals with his ability to get the ball out of a pack! Give him a run in the center I say, if his tackling is great and he can get in there.. why not? He can just handball it out to make all you haters shut the hell up!!

I watched the replay again last night and i think he was very good and really stood up in some crucial contests late in the game. In fact, he didn't lose a contest. Tried his guts out.

Yes, he had two poor kicks in the last quarter, but that is all some people seem to remember.

I agree...

seems as the Toovey and Fraser are this weeks drop em flavour.

I watched the replay and thought Toovey did a great job especialy under pressure.


There were others who were also kicking poorly on the night

Nah i'm not drunk sadly! Why would I make a comment if according to you I didn't watch the game?.... what a ridiculous statement! I think you need to watch the replay. 3rd Quarter Tooves was knocked to the deck, got up charged at the ball and fed off the handball and it ended up being a goal to Beams..... 2nd Quarter Josh Fraser's goal, Toovey really impacted that contest also..... People having a crack at Toovey cuz he kicked the ball out on the full in the last quarter.... Obrien kicked one out on the full, so did Wellingham from 20 metres out right in front from a set shot! He has a crack and is unfairly done by some supporters!

Seems to me the opinion is fairly polarised on Tooves this week.
Sadly I missed the first quarter and a bit and what I did see was streamed, poor quality video from OS.

I think he'll hold his spot if the problems were a few errant disposal and the positives were as stated.

Awesome Possum limps occassionally.

Fraser was god awful, but the level of hatred for Awesome Possum is despicable. He plays his heart out, and does some fantastic work even when he doesn't have the ball. Watch the instances where he bolts out of the backline and aids in those rebound goals which have been winning us all these games.

Get off the hate-wagon you spiteful turncoats.

A fully fit Fraser at finals time is still a better bet at this stage to Wood who at times looks soft as butter and is only a very slight upgrade on the mercurial Guy Richards ( Not ). Toovey gives his all but his helicopter punts still worry me especially come finals time against the Cats and Saints under extreme pressure as they will kill us with corridor football out of defence. If Alan can with increased confidence hit targets under pressure then he has a long future at pieland.
