I'd take Toy for Hooker in a heartbeat.
Except for Hurley being a forward according ( correctly) to the royal box and Fletcher a defender of course
Considering that our midfield is our biggest weakness, you would have to go for this trade if it was true. Hooker is a good KPP and these don't grow on trees, however we do have a few options in this area (carlisle, pears, hurley, etc) and you have to give up something to get something.

Is Toy a fix for the midfield though? Is he quite the midfield certainty that you'd ideally wish to find when looking at trading Hooker, or more a utility half back type?

As mentioned, he failed to even highlight in the reserves, where he played in the midfield. In the seniors he played down back where he looked really out of his depth.
Not sure what his currency would be right now. Perhaps that is why Bluey is looking to play far more next year, to get his currency up? Not sure.
Would take Hurley. Key Forwards would be ideal!

This trade proposal reminds me of the old maxim where "Only on Big Footy is it better to be young, than good"
Hooker was clearly one of Essendons best players before he did his hamstring and would almost be leading the best and fairest at that stage.
His type do not grow on trees plus he is the logical replacement for Fletcher.
And we want to trade him for a player who has done what exactly ?????
Oh thats right, he was a good player when he was 16.
Maybe we should offer Ryder for James Sellar then.
Or what about Zaharazis for Tom Swift.

The same bloke Reimers kicked eight on no thank you.
Pretty sure Toy played firsts for PEGS when in Year EIGHT.
Bit of a manchild, but looked totally disinterested up at GC this year
If he was tanking, he was very convincing.
Sheehan did say he was his tip for the Rising Star, along with Heppell, this year.

whY? Toy could be terrific (unless he went from fantastic to rubbish in 6 months) and Hooker is an injury-prone KPB who doesn't exactly strike fear into the game's forwards...
Hooker gets 2 hammies a year, and I think missed 8 this year. Not a good sign. Very dispensible.
Hooker is a very good player and is still very young. Toy has not shown enough to warrant a player off Hookers caliber.
Not saying Toy won't be good, but he wouldn't be the first high draft pick to not make it...you as a tigers supporter should know this better than anyone.

Mention the Bombers and UpTheGuts is not to far away.
If UTGs was a super hero all the Mayor of Richmond would need to do to summons him out from his lair is put up an Essendon post on BigFooty. Responds quicker than Batman after seeing the bat light.
UpTheGuts and BigFooty post concerning Essendon = Seagull and chip. Squark squark.

Nice join date, a bit of a newbie to be telling people to F off aren't you. But to your credit your post is well thought out and articulated, well I am assuming that your mentally challenged
I look forward to your next rant that adds nothing to the thread.

Hurley already turned down GC17. We'd want a lot more than Josh Toy, anyway.
I'd want more than that for Hooker, too.

I wouldn't. Toy has star potential... Hooker is solid at best - imho.

Hurley has already given a big FU to GC17 so yeah.
Even if he was keen you'd be looking at atleast pick #4 + Toy.

Toy has been underwhelming in his career so far - And he is a half back/utility - Have enough already. PASS.

Hooker has had a year bedeviled with injuries - he missed large portion of the season. Had a breakout season last year, but needs some luck with injury in 2012.
If such a swap is on - grab it Dons, Toy-boy would be a great "get" for us.
Local boy,too.

To be honest I think we're set for defenders right now. Big defenders in Bock, Hutchins and Rory Thompson(who's had a steller last half of the season). Small defenders in Brown, Weller and Harbrow.
That's not even mentioning others like Hunt, Tape and Wilkinson.
Forwards is what we need.
Oh, and was joking about the Toy for Hurley trade. Clearly I needed a smiley in there for that affect.

Agree Sunny the back line is sorted both short and long term.

Stand by Hird
Yeah, we'd be mad to keep a quality KPD when Fletcher is 36, Hurley is required up forward and Pears can't go 2 minutes without getting injured.
If the Toy part of this rumour is true, I can guarantee the Hooker part isn't.
