Toovey and concussion

[orie]

Did Toovey concuss himself?
Or did that mysterious seagull return?

I hear Tooves and a cuple of bulldogs got fined for a melee.
Can anyone shed light on how Tooves got concussed. It doesn't sem to have raised any questions.

Happened at HB, Toovs went to kick the ball and kicked himself in the face instead.

So he goes off and fails the concussion test and today is "cleared" of concussion!! Please explain

Toovey worst attempt at a spoil I have even seen which resulted in Bulldog goal. Disposals b4 he went off in second term 1. Glad he went off and I hope he retires and he can take Sinclair with him. No good risking their health.

That's a mean thing to say, especially since people have already pulled you up for saying it in another thread. I let it go the first time because I thought you were just emotional after the loss but really, you shouldn't be saying this stuff on a Collingwood board. Toovey has been a fine contributor over a long period of time and I certainly don't wish concussions on him.

Anyway, at the time he left the ground, the opposition forwards had managed either 3 or 4 goals, so it isn't like he somehow cost Collingwood the game.

Back on topic, there is a very serious question how he came to be concussed and why the AFL doesn't seem to have investigated it.

There's no clear vision of the incident other than Toovey chasing Picken and then being assisted from the ground. There is a ump not far from it I'm guessing there's nothing in it. The club hasn't come out asking why no report so it might just be a collision gone wrong.
I hope Tooves is ok he might not be the best player we have but he is a premiership player and a guy who tries his best
Get well soon Tooves

They think it was after a bit of a scuffle prior to the chase of Picken. It was on Footy Classified but I've since deleted the recording to have another look.

58 Pie, mate seriously show some respect. He might not be the most talented but he is very rarely beaten. Who cares how many disposals he had, how many goals did his opponent kick whilst he was playing?

[Bucks5]

Footy Classified say that Toovey has no memory of what happened but he doesn't think it was anything untoward.

They hypothesised that Toovey had been involved in a small melee before Toovey spent a few minutes on the bench as part of a normal rotation so it is possible that something may have happened then to cause the concussion..... Toovey came back on for about two minutes when we see him Chase Picken then he goes off the ground for good.

They didn't say it but sort of inferred that Collingwood may have mismanaged him by allowing him to go back on instead of picking up something was amiss when he was on the bench moments before.

Sorry to offend, poor words. I was having a bad day talking to the ATO. They don't like being questioned just like some here. We all like hanging out for the money but you have to know when you would be better doing something else.
Toovs was a part of 2010 that we all enjoyed but he got up my nose when he shopped himself around and nobody wanted him. He was lucky to renew his contract then. I never knock other peoples views. Read, don't agree but don't mock(like JW does ) Go pies. ps I hate the tigers, Barry Breen, and Carlton just to name a few.
