I will say that perhaps we've lionised Chris Toce over the years because of his record for us in SA, but Highmore being delisted and Robbie Young washing out after a year undermines the myth somewhat.

Yes Wilkie was a great get but so were Marshall and Sinclair and we don't even know who their scouts were.

Ryder was a great call, but not exactly a hidden gem, and both Mattaes and Nas were simply the best available at our picks, most would have picked both.

Ditto for both Owens and Windhager since Toce went National. Our academy was fortunate enough to be the closest to both players and the rest is history.

I'm not saying Toce wasn't good, but maybe we are giving him a wee bit too much credit.
