Re: Josh Toy

Josh Toy's heart condition prevents him from getting his heart rate above 100. It was explained by a doctor on trade radio. I can't see how he can play AFL with this problem, especially considering how important raotations are at the moment.

That doctor had never met Toy, let alone examined him and was totally misinformed.

Re: Josh Toy

His heart rate would get over 100 just jogging out the race.
That can't be right.

I heard the trade radio interview as well. They said that his resting heart rate was really low. I aslo remember Toy tweeting the same day saying that there had been some hurtful misinformation about him. The clubs interviewing will know the truth, and any club that picks him up will know whether he has the aerobic capacity to succeed.

Having said that I can't imagine that an elite sportsman can function anywhere near the level he needs to with this kind of limitation. If indeed this is 100 beats assertion is true, it would explain why he was so good at a junior level, but has struggled with the substantial step up in class that comes with playing senior AFL footy.

Re: Josh Toy

Now that we have Tom Young you would think that Toy is no longer on our radar. Both play off HBF and are a similar age.

Re: Josh Toy

...As for packaging Sherman up in any deals I think we just need to accept he'll be a part of our club for another year. If he's on the nose with us for different reasons, those reasons would be well known by other clubs, and as a result his currency would probably fall below what he could potentially provide the club if he was given the opportunity to turn things around.

Next year, if he's around, I'm going to cheer Sherman on just as much as I cheer any other of our players and back the personnel involved to get the best out of him. Throughout the time I've followed the game and our club I've seen too many instances of immature players turning things around at incumbent clubs, or being off-loaded to other clubs and turning it around to write him off one year under a new structure.

I wait in hope, but I hope nonetheless.

I agree, we must accept that he will be around for another year so we must support him - but if you want I will follow him down the player's race first bad game.

Re: Josh Toy

If he's always had the aerobic issue then what's the problem? He's clearly performed at an elite level as a junior despite this. I would give up pick 51 in a heartbeat for a talent like him.

You'd think so, only way I see it happening is for another player.

Re: Josh Toy

tweet from Cal Twomey AFL: Suns insist they'll try find Josh Toy a new home today. Either way Marcus Ashcroft says Toy's unlikely to be at the club in 2013.
