Good to see guys who know when to hang em up rather than plod on in the twos. Premiership players forever. Go find a spot in suburban footy where you can enjoy a slower pace.


Hopefully both can leave with a VFL Premiership

Fair to say that both players tapered off slowly but surely after the 2010 premiership. Unfortunately they were only two of many that tapered off. I'll remember Toovs at his best which was as a speedy half back and pretty reliable in one on one situations. I'll remember Caff as a strong contested ball player who could snap a nice goal here and there. Both players were good servants, probably in the bottom 6 of our best 22, but they were part of a strong bottom 6, much stronger that what we have these days.

As Dyso said, play them against Hawthorn and tell them to KO Mitchell, Hodge and Lewis....Caff can take two of them down!

Thanks to both for the fantastic voyage. To retire as a Collingwood premiership player is one of the greatest accolades life can offer.

Well Matt, I didn't mean to imply KO-tactics, but... if the shoe fits....

I think these blokes can go gang-busters for four more AFL quarters each, and just leave nothing in the tank. Would they still have a week off to recover for VFL finals, i'm unsure of the scheduling here....

But yes, slam those three Whorek snipers into the turf at every opportunity.
If they pop Whorek's shoulders, I really couldn't give a rats fat arse.

Congrats for climbing and concurring the mountain.
Caff, you were a rock one on one and you played defensive half forward to a tee. Reliable kick and mark.
Toovs, you were also a rock in defence and could run like the wind. Loved watching you for the satisfaction in knowing that you were always brave in what you did.

Cafe strikes me as a coach in waiting, He is smart, a good communicator and has played multiple roles for the team.

Reminds me of Don Pyke who also played attacking and negating roles and was able to get the best from his time in footy.

MY sentiments precisely, smash sniper Hodge and his little obnoxious toerag buddy, Mitchell, into the G turf at every chance, pulverise them, and smash into Riolis dinky leg too, put the Piss and Poop right outa commission bigtime. ! Razz Razz

Sadly, we just don't have that mongrel streak in us. We just don't know how to play unsociable football.
