Player Watch #32: Toby Pink - has been selected with #1 in the RD - Welcome Back, Pinky

[Zondor]

Even if he’s there purely as depth next season I have no issue with that

Yeah, I don’t mind him. :stern look

 

[The acurate one]

As I'm getting in trouble, thought Pinks two kicks were important.

Actually reckon it was one of his more ordinary games, generally a good thinker but made a few poor choices today.

That's his floor atm, still reckon theres a bit of improvement there, remember fridge roberts aged like a good bottle of red,

 

[Chadwiko]

Pink wasn't great.

Still finished with more touches and score involvements that Duursma.

I was being facetious, he is hard to be cranky at though, living all of our dreams, bloody good on Toby. But yeah we want improvement he isn't part of the future.

Great to see The Panther back this week.
How he ever triggered a contract extension based on his body of work this year is beyond me, but that’s how we roll at Arden St.

If you had your life pending on whether The Panther plays more than 10 games in 2025, you’d be shitting bricks.

 

[Only Forwards]

No real issue with Pink having a trigger and hitting said trigger given how much seniors he has actually played this year.

If people have to shake their fist at any cloud it should be that Biggie got 2 years straight up. Far more nonsensical than Pink having a triggered and then us needing to use him enough to hit that trigger.

I love this guy.

And I feel sorry for him that he's just thrown in as a fill in than his usual role. I think he's just a player that needed to adjusted to AFL level and would improve.

I think he did a good job playing a role in the fwd line...better than what Teakle was doing as he (Pink) was drawing out defenders from Larkey and even managed to take a few grabs and goals himself. Teakle was going to the ball and drawing defenders with too many talls at the contest for my liking even though he did a few good things, while Pink was playing his role better

I don't rate Teakle very highly, but Teakle "was going to the ball and drawing defenders" and actually taking contested marks. He's taken as many in 3 games as Pink has taken this year.

I was pleasantly surprised at his positive involvements yesterday, given the conditions and the that none of the other forwards, sans Jy, could get near it.

He's mobile, good below his knees and gets up the ground to the correct spots.
He seems a much more natural forward than defender, and with a full preseason focused on that role, I think he could improve further.

pink was a very way down the list of problems yesterday

Has a footy brain, not sure he has much else physically going on, but maybe he can. I think the issue with comparing Teakle and Pink is that in reality either one of them would probably be a vaguely useful structural player with another gun KPF next to them - our issue is that we are so far off it that we need both of them in the team.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Anyone know for sure if this bloke is currently on the senior or rookie list?

If he’s not a rookie I’d cut him and put him there but maybe he already is a rookie?

Senior list.

Despite your hate-boner for him, I recommend you don't hold your breath for him to be delisted after the club literally just re-signed him for 2025.

Kinda had to since he hit the trigger

Doubt he would’ve been signed otherwise

To use your analogy, he was part of the best 22 many times this year and is internally rated...

That being said, if the club didn’t want him we could have avoided the trigger?

Where does Pink sit in the pecking order for talls at the Mighty NMFC? :stern look

He’s in the red at the moment.

 

[ferball]

He’s in the red at the moment.

He'll probably be delisted next year. Hope so cos I don't think he's got what we need to win flags. I'd love to be wrong too.

But before he goes I hope the mods change the thread title from "- has triggered a contract extension for 2025" to "- has triggered The Nostradamus for the whole time he's been with us."

I'm sure we'd all have a good laugh about that.

 

[Del191229]

Saw him in a shop near my house recently.

Not as big as I thought he was.

he is a depth utility, can fill holes back and forward, agree wont be part of a push but at least has the capacity to step up if required. he is symptomatic of our poor list management of the last 8 years.

 

[Only Forwards]

he'd be in the last few and is unlikely to see himself on our list beyond 25.

It isn't his fault we are so short sighted in terms of talls that we brought him in as a stop gap measure to play back and then had to put him forward because we had no one else to play there either.

Rawling is a Freak! As was Joyces before him. :stern look
