    Re: Toby McLean

    Mentioned on another thread, that his two goals both came after Adelaide had kicked 2 in a row - so were fairly important. He's a good player who has the hallmarks of being someone who will do the right things at the right times in finals. I'd be sticking with him.

      Yeah sticking with him too, just quite confused by his role and then output. He did a nice kick to Dale in the second who won a free kick and then missed a sitter

        Yeah stick with him. He is a dangerous player and can turn nothing into something in a split second. Covers a lot of ground and applies a lot of pressure.

            We need to stuck with him, He needs to play a final series like Clay Smith did. Just hard at it and relentless with pressure.

            He has it in him and I'm sure he will respond in September.

            Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                His pressure is influential and underrated. I’m a fan of Toby, much tougher than his waif like appearance portrays.

                  Hasn’t had the best year but is an important part of the puzzle so I would persist with him.

                  Dunkley, Macrae, Bont have been excellent and should be in the top 3 in the Sutton medal count.

                    We need to keep players with class like McLean . Reads the ball well and is a good kick on both sides . His left foot snap on weekend was good
                    Comparison would be a Travis varcoe type player who always seems to be in the right spots and is good link player and good finisher . His good tackler. These players are important

                    McLean not big enough to pay in the midfield , but he could spend some minutes there for chop out when are big mids on bench

                      Re: Toby McLean

                      Think he is playing an important role in the fwd line. He's providing a good defensive effort, winning the ball in close when those kicks I50 don't quite get deep enough and is hitting the scoreboard. HFF is a hard position to play, Uncle isn't playing a starring role but in a team where we've got some pretty raw forwards, he is bringing the disciplined talent to the table.

                        We have a good forward line he is another like Bailey Dale who will kick goals if the others are tagged, a little like our midfield you tag one the other will take over.

                          I’ve loved Toby mclean over the last few weeks. Isn’t getting as much of it because he isn’t playing midfield minutes but when it is his turn he is classy, composed and effective.

                          He plays a role - most of the time it seems to be a linking high half forward flanker. He has the hallmarks of an elite player for me, I’d call him elite over most of 2017, plus he is clearly a guy who can stand up in big games

                            We need more guys who are smart footballers who can use the ball well.

                            Toby's a guy who will play his role then 1-2 times per game do something special to create a score.

                              He's a high pressure player will be pivotal in finals heat.
                              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
