Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Reminds me of an early version of Robbie Gray. Clean, good skills, strong above his head and can kick a goal.

Any chance of a Rising Star nomination this week? The obvious nominee yet to be nominated (Duggan) didn't play this week, and I can't think of any other players putting their hand up.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Matthew Crouch had a pretty good game for the Crows. He was nominated last year but still qualifies for this year. So I'm fairly sure he is still eligible?

De Goey plays for Collingwood and had a decent game, so he is surely in contention.

McLean's goal against Saint Kentucky Fried Chicken was pretty good, cleared the goal line from outside the 50.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

I don't think I want to hear about him 'building a tank to go into the midfield'! - as I think he can be a real handful as a forward.

If you can go up the ground you become more of a handful for your opponent. McLean's delivery inside 50 is terrific

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Sat with Toby at a Bulldog function at the Pound earlier this year. Really great kid to talk to. Since then he has been a favourite 'son'. Glad to see his performances on the field match his no nonsense personality.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Really impressive performance. Watched him live and he's a smart footballer; knows where to run and works hard. I can see him developing into a Jamie Elliott type of player - very clean hands above his head and great composure with ball in hand who typically makes the right decision.

Webb is my favourite of the draft class as I wanted him pre-draft, but Toby is going to be a very damaging player forward of center.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Our forward entries still need work and Magic is Just the player you want as the high half forward taking the ball 60-70m out and hitting up a lead.

Great vision and skills.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Great vision and skills.

He even spotted Webb when he didn't have the ball and pointed him out to Stringer

As well as the Bont.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Very impressive .
Good hands, and can take a screamer.
Very Robbie Gray Jamie Elliott type. Big emphasis on skilled clean good users of the football.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

Bev wants all of our forwards and mids to be able to join in the great rotation. to keep up the 'energy' around the ball. Sounds like a plan.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

What a great game from McLean. The act from Buckley that caused his injury should be reportable and stamped out of the game. Completely vindictive and unnecessary. Gonna cause Toby a lot of pain and rehab for the next month or so. A complete $#@% of a thing to do.
