    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.
    Yep great finals player, key contributor in 2016. One of the players who epitomised our youthful surge footy.

    Thanks Toby, you were a fave for me as well. Best smile since Johnno.

      Ahh, gotcha. I think he'll find a home.

        Thanks Toby and good luck. Injuries cruelled a career. Fingers crossed he gets picked up!

          He obviously worked hard coming back from injury but his body changed significantly I feel and he just lost the pace and agility he had. A career to be proud of. Well done Toby and best of luck for whatever is next.
          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            I enjoy reading back the first few pages of threads like this, when a career ends or player gets traded.

            Some Woofers were rightfully very happy when we picked Toby. Despite his injuries, 102 games and a flag is a good return for a player picked in the 20s.

              102 games!

              Get on with having babies Toby. As many as you can. One for the mother. One for the father. And 12 for the footy club.

                Unfortunately cut down cruelly by those two ACL'S just as he was primed to step up to another level.

                I was really hoping he'd be able to overcome his injuries, as at his best he improves our side.

                All the best Toby, always a Bulldog premiership hero.

                    Sad to see Toby go. Will be forever a premiership player for us.

                    I remember that goal he kicked before half time in the 2016 grand final. Was very important in the context of that game.

                    Injuries caught up and it got very difficult.

                    Wish Toby all the best for the future.

                        Still reckon Tommy didn't even know Toby was there.

                        Far out Tom Boyd had a game that day didn't he?

                              I maintain we should have a statue at WO from each premiership, with that the 2016 one.
