Was a jet as a kid, was rated as highly as Swallow.

Has been injured or on the outer at GC17 - Bluey is not a fan, but Toy is not a back flanker despite what Bluey thinks is his best position.

Lots of questions re his work rate.

The above poster is already arguing about his best position, which is exactly the reason I say "pass".

I remember Toy and his long kicking from the back-line in juniors, but his two years at GC is hardly showing him in a good light. But more to the point, we have a heap of players on our list who struggle to find a position. Dunn, Bate, Tapscott, Bennell, Jetta, Petterd and even players such as Watts and Grimes haven't made a position their own; although I prefer Grimes as a half back and he's been pushed into the midfield because it's "third world". But I know where Jack Viney is suited from day one. And is Toy too similar to Tapscott and Strauss ? Stop drafting "tweeners".

Can play, but we have more pressing needs.

 

Yes - disposal is very good, athleticism is very good, speed is very good, fitness is a question mark! How I see it is gold coast needed players that would have trade value and need to get rid of some of their younger guns, can't keep them all, I don't think we will be able to get him, but would be handy to have!

His fitness is my biggest issue he seems to be a carbon copy of gysberts lots of talent with no tank. I'm sure Casey would be happy to have him but his impact at senior level is 2 years away.


I think there was a lot of hype with this kid, but he has some glaring deficiencies.

I think what I was worried about with Darling and Tapscott is actually true of Toy -- he looked good in juniors as a man-child rag-dolling other kids... but against men his main strength is non-existent.

Beyond that he is a booming kick... and I'm not sure what else.

Too similar to Strauss for mine. Just a nice, timid kid with a reasonable turn of speed and beautiful kick.

Not sure he has that 'I'll die before my opponent kicks another goal on me' competitiveness that Neeld loves.

 

Sounds as though his achillies injury could be still bothering him.

Pick 13 & Petterd for Caddy & Toy?

Don't think he's a timid kid but he definitely has the 'game is to be played on my terms' outlook.

He can't find that balance with attacking and defending but we need good kicks in our back half.

Outside the box something like Pick 3,4 + Sylvia? for Caddy, Mckenzie, Toy and Pick 2.

Toy is worth a look at ... Josh Toy in exchange for Petterd and pick #45 (fair deal ??)

Ugh.

With GC needing to trim 10 players from their list, I highly doubt they'll be happy with a "late pick plus spud" deal that also trades 1 list spot for 2.

They are looking to CONSOLIDATE.

We'd be more likely to get Caddy, Toy and a 2nd rounder for pick 4, something like that.

Mark my words...noone will be happy with 'the poodle' josh toy skirting contests accross halfback

I don't think we'd be happy with anyone doing that.

Highly-rated-by-consensus juniors sometimes just don't live up to expectations.

Richard Tambling and Cale Morton case in point. There are countless others.

I have only seen him play once (which is not enough)...but jeez he looked soft


I don't understand why everyone on here wants to pick up Caddy or Toy?

Pick 13 for Caddy? I think we could get a better players through the draft, he's had one decent game why all the interest?

couldn't agree more, neither have really shown anything at afl level but yet everyone seems to love them. Our picks that we will receive this year should be used on players that will actually move us forward, rather than a 'potentially' good half back flanker and a 'potentially' great inside mid. A player like Ben Kennedy would be much more beneficial to the team and our structures.

If he's keen to leave the Gold Coast, low-ball.

4th-round pick. We'll be laughed out of the room, but at least we won't have been caught overpaying.

probably the true value for caddy considering our pick positions plus f/s should be able to net us 2inside mids as well as 2speedy outside types

  • 2 weeks later...

Apparently desperate to come back to Vic. His father died a while ago. Strong figure in his life. Wants to be near family.


Wait for him to be delisted, rookie draft at least then he wont clog a spot for someone good

Would love this guy at our club.. was a star junior and a player i wouldve loved at the club from the get go..

Everyones keen on Josh caddy, i reckon some have mixed him up with this kid..

I definately did.

Josh Toy could be another Mitch Clark and would benefit learning under him too.

Mark my words...noone will be happy with 'the poodle' josh toy skirting contests accross halfback

Why?

People are happy to watch Watts do it..

If its part of development, so be it.

EDIT: oops, it was SAM DAY i was thinking of..

apologies

What?! After the Gold Coast has spend so much money on him and looked after him. They took a put on him and invested so much, we the poor suffering supporters have goven him so much of ourselves and this is what WE GET, the selfish bugger. How could he want to leave them and move to a different city to be closer to his family in a trying family situation??!!!! BASTARD, what about the leadership group! Where is Josh Fraser in all of this, he is somehow mixed up in it for sure, I never trusted that shifty so and so he has been struggling for form and I'm sure he has been in Toy's ear....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
