Alan Toovey

[The Falcon Strike]

Toovey definitely improving year by year. He still runs like a headless chook - but his disposal isn't as panicked anymore.

It's a fairly settled back 6 at the moment - and even in the losses the defence has stood up! Ben Johnson also playing some good footy at the minute.

Most supporters fail to understand that most sides need to have a balance between attacking players and defending players. Toovey plays his role, and he does it well - IMO he would be one of the most respected players at Collingwood because he sacrifices his game for the benefit of the entire team.

I actually thought Toovey played alright last night, but he completely did himself undone by TWICE pulling out of marking contests when following the flight of the ball. Caused Tom Harley and Leigh Matthews to wince both times...especially the second time.

Surprised neither incidents were replayed considering how they are usually all over those sort of things.

Yes it was unfortunate for him as thought he was playing ok. Those things though can haunt a player

Robert Murphy against the Dogs and again, beat him convincingly.

Murphy was almost bog in the first half and was in our best for the game.
