Toast Toovey and Macaffer announce their retirement

[35Daicos]

Thought Toovey might try to get on another list.

Premiership players, not stars but great role players and clubmen.

The average list age drops somemore.
If Swan and Cloke finish with us as expected, Pendles and White are our oldest players.

Well done to both players on fine careers. I'm very glad they've "gone out on their own terms".

Goldsack is 29, 30 next May, and will be the oldest if he remains on the list, and Swan and Cloke leave.

 

[well left]

Both guys the absolute epitomy of doing your role and getting the most out of your ability through hard work.

Hope our younger more talented boys understand and put the work in..... if they do they'll get the rewards.

Sorry left Goldsack out but by all reports he's also on the way out.

Sorry left Goldsack out but by all reports he's also on the way out.

I'm still clinging on to the (very faint) hope that Swan will play on and that Cloke will be retained. I think the club should be a bit concerned if there's too much of an exodus of the mature age types, so I'm hoping Goldsack stays around for perhaps one last year.

Farewell to both players who have been great servants for the club for nearly a decade.

Thank you for the 2010 Premiership and you will forever be a part of a special moment in the club's history!

Tooves was one of my faves during our successful years. Defensively he was immense, and if it werent for his disposal (which at times i thought was unfairly maligned around here), hed have been a multiple All-Australian.

Gonna miss his defensive efforts.

Agreed, really missed him dearly when he was out with his ACL. Didn't notice quite how solid he was in defence until then.

Another couple of 2010 stars being shown the door. Thanks bucks!

 

[Medders123]

Both great stories, from rookie list to premiership. They should be immensely proud of their achievements. Thanks for the memories. Floreat Pica

Sad but no Shock Really

 

[stevebbb]

Sad to see them go!
I loved them both when they were in their prime and throughout our Premiership winning campaign

All the best lads!

 

[MarkT2]

Nether came back well from the knee reco's.
Wish them all the best and thanks for the flag.

 

[DRIZZT]

I'm going to miss those beautiful big possum eyes

 

[Pie eyed]

Thankyou Tooves and McCafe.
Gave everything they had for the club.
Always a beer waiting at my house for both.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Thanks for the memories Tooves and Caff. You'll always be premiership players and remembered as great teammates who gave their all for the Pies.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Playing assistant/development coach is the talk...

Great role for him

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Tooooooves........

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Loved them both. Hard to see them bow out, but the time was right.

 

[The_Anvil]

Will miss hearing the crowed shout TOOOOOOOVES when he grabbed the ball and dashed off half back. Extremely solid defender before his ACL.

As for Caff, will always remember one particular goal in the replay when he snapped it over the back of his head at the top of the square and everyone went nuts. Hope we get to see him continue in the VFL next year.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Jack Darling will be happy Tooves is retiring.

Yep Bucks fault.

 

[1892]

Jack Darling will be happy Tooves is retiring.

Reckon we should have recalled him for the West Coast game.

 

[TheBaron]

Congratulations to these two Premiership players. Whilst not being blessed with the dominant skills of top tier players they certainly deserve an ovation. Not always a favorite of some BF posters either but they've been honest contributors for Collingwood and I for one I thank them.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Sorry left Goldsack out but by all reports he's also on the way out.

Only for the fact that he can't seem to get his body right. Plays a game then goes out again with another injury. Sad enough we're losing two premiership players who also appear to have been great clubmen, but even sadder should Goldsack retire as well.

Take it to the Bucks thread this ones about Collingwood Premiership Players retiring

Swanny's up tomorrow.

Sad times.
