Welcome to the Club pick 26 Western Bulldogs Toby McLean

[timtamWB]

That was a bloody short conversation you had with your cousin, timtam54

Are you calling me old bucko? Back in my day we gave our elders respect!

I had to censor a few things And I just picked out a couple of key points really. Main thing that he stated was McLean's drive to succeed.

I like his attitude. He knows he's good and can be a bit cheeky, but he was quiet and softly spoken at the Social Club function, and seems to understand where he's at with his footy if the 'Meet the Draftees' clip is anything to go by.

He is not an athlete footballer, so he slid to 26.
He is a baller, skilled in footy (not athletics) and he knows it. Might be our draft steal....

I really like what I have read about this young man. His story is compelling. And I'm still looking for a favourite player when I return, though I guess that #4 has the inside running at this stage.

You need to be quite the athlete to take marks like the ones in his highlights package.

I think an athlete footballer is more someone blessed with ridiculous stupid athleticism, pace or physical development while a natural footballers brain kinda falls to the wayside.

Thanks for your service Toby. Forever a Bullgod.



Will always be responsible for one of the club's most iconic images.

Farewell sweet premiership hero

We all knew that it was going to happen, but still, the reality hits hard. Forever one of us.

People forget how important that late goal in the second half of the GF was, Sydney had just gotten on a roll and if he didn't kick it, we would have been two goals down at half time and it could have been a very different result.
All the best Tobes.

 

[Dogsman16]

16 forever.

Thank you Toby !

Ride off into the sunset sweet prince

Have always loved Toby as a player, and don’t want to come off too harsh, but he carried a lot of weight in the season/s since his knee injuries. It clearly hindered his output on the footy field.

Have to wonder if this de-listing and lack of interest elsewhere could’ve been prevented if he was in better nick.

Anyhoo, sad to see him go. Finishes his career as the kicker of the most famous behind in our clubs history.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Ah, Toby, it's sad to say goodbye.

Hope you get a gig somewhere.

Forever a Bullgod.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Really sad to see him go. I hope he gets another club if that’s what he wants to do. All the best to the lad.

 

[TiAn_]

Good night, sweet prince

 

[X_box_X]

All the best, Tobes.

I'm glad we could get you a premiership in your second year.

 

[Dogs 13]

All the best, Tobes.

I'm glad we could get you a premiership in your second year.

He helped get us a premiership (which I never thought I’d see)

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Thank you Tobes, always a Bullgod

A sad day but the right decision. A good career, injuries cost him from having a very good career.

2018 was probably his best season, came top 10 in the B+F, looked to be his breakout. Was at 60 games at 22 years of age, pretty cruel to only manage 40 more.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Damn. I mean it's no big surprise. But I love Toby, was hoping there was still somehow a spot for him.

I'll never forget how good he was late in the 2016 prelim.
