| Tooves plays his 150th this weekend. A fantastic effort by a guy who had to make his way from the rookie list. A Collingwood premiership defender. It doesn't get any better than that. |

A great effort but I don't believe he will make many more.
150 games for a man of his limited ability is a wonderful achievement.

Well done Tooves - a great servant of the club. Nearly everybody wrote him off at the beginning of his career and it seems like some people still do. I guess the fact that he has commanded a regular spot in the team for the better part of nine years suggests that the selectors knew better.

| Well done Tooves. Despite being the whipping boy of many 'fans' for several years, he continues to be our best 'shit down' defender. Able to play tall or short, he's got great pace and is good in the air. Only his average kicking skills prevent him being an All Australian defender imo. |

| Well done Possum. Remains a critical member of a young developing defense. |

No that is not right.
Needs to retire very soon.

150 Games is a Great Effort from someone from the Rookie Draft

Congrats Tooves on a great career.
Crosses from W.A and only picked up as a rookie. Eventually elevated to the senior list after a year in the reserves and goes on to be a premiership player.
Sensational value.
Never quite the same since tearing his ACL and subsequently missing a year.
But a terrific servant of our club.
150....well done champ. |

Well the praise is not exactly over flowing for one of our premiership heroes.
Well played Tooves - may there be a few more great games for you! |
