Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean
A real shame. Hopefully Toby gets another chance with another club
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

So that leaves just 5 players from the premiership side?
Just Bont, Jacko, Libba & JJ I fear?
I still pine for the dynasty we never had.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean
Can't help but be saddened by this decision....one of my faves over the years.
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean
I’ll remember Tobes very fondly, even it is for boiling opposition fans piss for high frees.
He could really play, underrated inside mid at his best, had some very high possession games pre injury.
Go well Toby

All the best Toby.

Forever immortalised with the Tom Boyd goal. Shame both their bodies failed their talent.

Anyone could’ve grabbed him as a free agent by now. I’m not holding out much hope him playing on unfortunately.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean
The goal he kicked twisting his body (& around the corner special) just before half time in 2016 GF was crucial. I do wonder if that gave us confidence only being 2 points down to come out fighting so well in 2nd half.
Also think Tobes was excellent in 2016 PF.
Thought he was close to BOG when we dominated first half of elimination final against Dockers last year too.
Thankyou Toby, always a Bullgod and wishing you all the best. Hope another club takes a punt. A good mentor to the young ones in VFL. Selfless player.

He's only just been delisted. He can’t get signed by anyone else.

He’s been an unrestricted free agent during the free agent period. Free to have moved at any point in the last week. Now he’s a delisted free agent which makes zero difference to clubs. Best case he is asked to train to take up a rookie spot somewhere. Wouldn’t put my money on it.
