Player Watch #32: Toby Pink - has triggered an extension for 2025.

[The acurate one]

His best game of his career, and he hasn't touched the ball since the first quarter. lol

Pinky doesn't care for quantity. It's quality.

What is it about Pink that makes everybody ****ing love him? I have never loved a 'bare minimum' player as much as I love Pinky, and clearly I'm not the only one.

To be clear I'm not being superior, I also really like the Pink meme. I just am not self-aware enough to figure out why we are all like this haha

Hes a battler that has stepped up and is filling a role for us in void of a hole we are yet to fill. He doesnt complain , keeps his chin up and sacrifices his game for souva to have some room to operate.

Doesn't always win aerially but still competes often bringing the ball to ground where our mid height fwds or mods can capitalize or occasionally shows creativity below his knees.

Most likely wont be there in a few years when we are competing but will be fondly remembered just as matty larkey and troy makepiece are for chopping in whilst we were going through tougher times.

He’s doing his job just fine just like a space saver tyre

Exactly. I also love a story of a mature age recruit. Too often your chance is done if you havent made it by 20. He was let go. Worked hard and earnt a spot at a team that needs a guy like him. A guy whose willing to play 2nd or 3rd fiddle for the star to shine. Not complain and just do his job.

People forget, not every player in the 70's and 90's was a super star. We had great role players. For every Corey Mckernan there was a Fridge Roberts.

When we were on early I thought he made the most of it.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

That goal on the run was a cracker - he was on track for an 8 goal game at QTR time.

Reminds when Luc Longley was playing for Chicago Bulls in the 3Peat era. One game he had 16 points at QTR time, and also the end of the match he still had 16

 

[bennymate]

He clunks everything below the knees, very clean.

Biggy already has a contract….

an extension is a next year discussion

since when has contract status been a prerequisite of you calling for blokes to be traded/delisted?

ROO RECRUIT EARNS ANOTHER YEAR​

MATURE-AGE recruit Toby Pink has triggered an extension at North Melbourne for 2025.

The 25-year-old arrived at Arden Street as a delisted free agent last October after earning a second chance in the AFL, following a dominant season for Glenelg in the SANFL.

Pink made his debut against Greater Western Sydney in round one, seven years after being drafted by Sydney – where he spent three seasons on the rookie list without playing a senior game – and is now up to 12 appearances.

Tickled Pink: Toby dobs two against ex-side​

North Melbourne's Toby Pink buries two first-quarter goals against his former club
The South Australian joined the Kangaroos on a one-year deal but has now hit a trigger for a second season.

Pink was signed to bolster a backline that lost Ben McKay to free agency and Griffin Logue to a long-term knee injury last year.

But after starting in defence, Alastair Clarkson has used Pink at the other end of the ground in recent weeks – the position Sydney drafted him as back in 2016 – and he kicked two goals against the Swans on Saturday. – Josh Gabelich

This is the extension we’ve all been waiting for

 

[The Nostradamus]

lol

 

[Chadwiko]

Genuinely so happy for the bloke.

 

[Ligma]

I wonder who

 

[Devington]

Good on him. He's not a world beater but retaining him as a stopgap for another year is absolutely fine.

 

[Caracas]

He’s doing his job just fine just like a space saver tyre

Plus, we’ve seen Reservoir Dogs and we know Mr Pink makes it out alive. He’s a survivor!

 

[north_lad]

lol

Hahahahaha eat shit

 

[The Nostradamus]

pay out the trigger

 

[Possession]

Doing a good job.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Deserved another year but not sure he'll be there much longer than that.

 

[amaz199]

ONYA PINKYYYY!

 

[Only Forwards]

pay out the trigger

I would pay out:
Biggie
Stephenson
CCJ
Stephens (-1 year)

Before I’d pay out Pink.
