Retiring Zach Tuohy announces retirement.

[CatToTheFuture]

One of the types of guys that form the backbone of a club culture.

Will always be one of my favourite players. Hope he decides to go into footy media

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Basically pick 16 for zach and p22.
Blues wanted 16 for caleb marchbank trade who has been injured a lot.
P22 was fogarty who ironically is now at carlton.

Missing the best bits. Billie Smedts to sweeten the pot and the pick we gave up eventually landing at Brisbane who took Zac Bailey

Big Congats Irish!

One of my favourites. Apart from the messy looking tattoo on his arm there is nothing unlikeable about Zach, just an all round top bloke who genuinely loved playing for the Cats.

Hope he gets to kick a mammoth torpedo punt on Saturday, even if only in the warm-ups

You just know you're going to see him try one late in the 4th quarter next Saturday

The crowd will be ready to lynch him if he doesn't

Will miss calling him Ratatuohy (after Ratatouille) with my dad.

Hopefully he gets to have on last hurrah at the end of a great career!

Good luck to him after footy!

My tip for a Zach's replacement in 2025.

As much as I have posted a couple of negative comments about his games this year….this interview sums up how good a bloke he is and reminds me of what he has given the game and the Cats. And surely he has a career in media - a little more interesting to watch than our beloved premiership captain?

Love Tuohy. He has been a very fine player/person for our club.
My favourite kick was a barrel he launched during a practice match against Essendon at Colac years ago. The ball seemed to fly through the air for the longest time and distance.

Notably, we chose Fogarty 2 picks ahead of Tim Kelly.

And these comments, as far as my own anyway, are nothing personal or against Tuohy himself. I hate it when people are overly harsh and phrase things as if they are disgusted at the player. Whereas simply saying for team balance having Duncan and Tuohy in the same defence, I think that is fair and balanced without attacking anyone. If it's a dig at anyone it is at the MC, even though some here think "the MC can do no wrong" is a consensus view.

So a bit of a sidetrack but my point is you can have absolutely admired a player's contribution to the club - they may have even been one of your favourites - but you can still say the end has come without it being an insult.

Our loss is Portlaoise's gain. We'll all miss him.

No, last game at home.

As we won't be playing any finals at KP.

Fair to assume Bolton was trying to replicate some Clarkson style behaviours.

Also I bet he interviews incredibly well for a coaching job but lacks common sense and empathy in practice.

Basically saying he was a coach who went out of his way to publicly humiliate and criticise players and had no idea how his behaviour was affecting people and didn't accept any feedback about what was happening. Basically blacklisted Tuohy when he said some of the young guys are a little intimidated to speak to him one on one.
