Best mate's brother, he is a ripper bloke too, coming back for the next week or so as well. Didnt get much of a run in gold coast coz they didnt think he was fit enough, is a serious weapon, and would slot right into our backline, freeing tapscott and grimes up to more midfield roles.

    Hell yes, if he's home sick we should target this kid big time! He'll be a star I have no doubt. I made mention in another thread that I reckon we should target Jordan Russell, but I'd be even happier with Josh Toy, can play the same type of role to free up a Grimes, Blease or Bail etc to spend more time in the midfield.

    Question mark will be over his ability to shut an opponent down, can he play on the oppositions best smalls?

    If we can get a draft pick in the mid 20's for Warnock & our 3rd round pick then maybe Maric and that pick in the mid 20's could get the deal done?

    Why not a straight swap with GCS? Could imagine they would love a big bodied full back, to support Campbell Brown at CHB!

    Not a bad suggestion given Matthew Warnock appears headed in that direction.

    I don't think Josh Toy and Matthew Warnock will ever, ever be a straight swap in a trade. It would have to include picks and it would be heavily weighted to Gold Coast. ie. It would most likley cost a compensation pick and then some.

    Yes it was North

    I'd say no to North too if their best was pick 18.

    What about a swap of Morton for Toy?

    Trade week radio now suggesting Warnock to GCS.

    could we potentially get Toy in return, maybe we give up a 3rd rounder as well to even it out?

    Would need to be Warnock and at least one first round pick for Toy, possibly two. Would have been top 3 in last years draft if he was not taken early. Didn't star last year, but is very hightly rated.

    fair enough, wont happen then.

    I'd do it.

  • Quote

    Warnock for Toy won't happen wasn't Toy a top 5 pick only last year? Or was he one of the GC early 17yo picks? Either way we'd have to offer a lot more than just Warnock and a 2nd-3rd round pick.

  • Quote

    I don't know enough about Toy... what role in defence would he play? Looking at his height he isn't overly tall, so is he competing for the 3rd tall? or is he a "quarterback" (Don't like the use of this term) or more a running defender?

    If he was rated top 5, and has had a year in the system, I suspect Warnock would be bundled with a compensation pick at least.... and if we are still in the running regarding the 17yr old mini draft that might have to play out first.

  • Quote

    I thought he was seen as more of a midfielder than a defender but I'm only going on memory of reports from 1-2 years ago. Can't remember seeing him play either.

    Umm Campbell Brown does play tall but he is 179 cm - not quite CHB

    Can Toy be traded??? Isnt he suppossed to be at GC for another year. Total 2 years before a trade.

    If he can be traded;

    I would trade a compo pick + Warnock in a heart beat.

    He can be traded if he agrees to the trade, which if he is contracted but homesick could be a possibility. But yeah you would think that compo, warnock and possibly even 37 (If that was coming from Nth for Maric) would be needed.... doubt he would be cheap, and if he is genuinely wanting to come home ..... surely he would have been linked to Carlton :)

    He did get injured at one point I remember, but didn't their player list get rotated heavily to get games into all of the list to assess where the list was at. So I reckon there would not have been too many of the 1st year players getting more than 15 -17 games would there?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
